Description

Are you tired of store-bought bread that doesn't have the same taste and texture as homemade bread? Look no further than this English loaf bread recipe! This recipe yields a loaf of bread that is fluffy and delicious, with a slightly sweet taste that pairs perfectly with butter or jam.

Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is approximately 15 minutes.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 45 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1 egg

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk
  • Bread pan
  • Oven

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, warm milk, and egg.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bread pan and cover it with a clean dish towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, until it has doubled in size.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Once the dough has risen, bake it in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
  8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve!

Notes

For best results, use warm milk in this recipe. If your milk is too hot, it will kill the yeast and your bread won't rise properly. If your milk is too cold, it will take longer for the bread to rise.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use whole wheat flour in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute up to half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Keep in mind that the bread will have a denser texture and a slightly different taste.

Can I use a bread machine to make this recipe?

Yes, you can use a bread machine to make the dough for this recipe. Simply follow the manufacturer's instructions for making dough, then transfer the dough to a greased bread pan and bake in the oven.

Can I freeze this bread?

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your yeast is fresh and active. If it doesn't foam up when mixed with warm milk and sugar, it may be dead and you'll need to start over with fresh yeast.
  • If you don't have a warm place to let your dough rise, turn your oven on to its lowest setting for a few minutes, then turn it off and place the covered dough inside to rise.
  • To get a shiny crust on your bread, brush the top with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking.
