Notes

  1. For the best taste and texture, I recommend using bread flour.  If you only have All Purpose flour that will work fine in a 1:1 ratio.
  2. Freezing Instructions: If you would like to freeze one loaf to use later, prepare the recipe through step 6.  Form one both loaves and place them in their pans, then while one rises, cover the other one tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.  Once you are ready to bake, thaw your dough and let it rise for about 4-5 hours.  Bake as directed and enjoy! You can also freeze the bread after it has been baked.  Allow the bread to cool completely, then freeze for up to 3 months.  When you are ready, allow your bread to thaw at room temperature then reheat as needed.
  3. Tools Needed: Electric Stand Mixer, large bowl, bread mat, pastry cutter, nonstick pans.
