Description

Silvercup bread is a classic New York City-style bread that is soft and fluffy with a slightly sweet taste. It is perfect for sandwiches or toast and is a staple in many households. This recipe yields two loaves of bread, so there will be plenty to share or freeze for later.

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

40-45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups warm water

Equipment

  • 2 large mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Bread pans
  • Mixing spoon
  • Kitchen towel

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. Add the softened butter and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf and place them in greased bread pans.
  6. Cover the loaves with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the loaves for 40-45 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  8. Remove the loaves from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

This recipe can be easily halved to make only one loaf of bread. You can also add raisins or cinnamon to the dough to make a sweet version of silvercup bread.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your water is warm but not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
  • Be patient when kneading the dough. It takes time to develop the gluten, which is what gives the bread its structure and chewiness.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place. You can turn your oven on for a few minutes to warm it up and then turn it off before placing the dough inside.
  • Brush the top of the bread with melted butter after it comes out of the oven for a glossy finish.
