Betty's Fresh Baked White Bread, Part I--the Dough

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Fresh Baked White Bread—Part I, the Dough. I will be uploading Fresh Baked White Bread, Part II—Rising and Baking in my next upload. This is a great recipe for beginners. You do not have to have a stand mixer to make this bread, although it speeds up the process and makes it much easier! Here is the complete recipe:

Part I—the Dough:

Ingredients:

½ cup milk
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons butter
2 packages active dry yeast
1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F)
5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
cooking oil spray

In a small pot, scald ½ cup milk; stir in 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 3 tablespoons butter. Cool to lukewarm. In mixer bowl, dissolve 2 packages dry yeast in 1 ½ cups warm water. Add lukewarm milk mixture and 4 ½ cups flour. If you have a stand mixer, attach bowl to mixer and insert dough hook. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes, until well-blended. Continuing at low speed, add remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, until dough clings to dough hook and cleans sides of bowl, about 3 minutes. Knead on low speed for 7 to 10 minutes longer, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Dough will be slightly sticky to the touch. Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease top.

Part II—Rising and Baking: (to be uploaded later)

Cover greased dough with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray, and let rise in a warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down dough. Let dough rest for 15 minutes. Divide dough into two equal halves. Shape each half into a loaf. Place each loaf into a greased 9-inch by 5-inch by 3-inch loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from pans, and cool on wire racks. Serve hot with butter. YUM! I hope you enjoy the Fresh Baked White Bread! Love, Betty ♥♥♥♥♥

Oh my gosh! I added 2 tablespoons of salt instead of two teaspoons! Good thing I caught it when I did or else that would not have tasted very good! I'll let you know how it turns out!!

I don't have any kind of mixer.. can i / how do i do it all by hand? also does this freeze well? because there are only two of us.. and we can't eat two loaves of bread that fast ... it's been hot and al ot of things go bad very quickly. thank you again :)

[bettyskitchen]

@schweetheartmonkee Yes, the bread freezes very well. You can use a spoon and stir the dough; it's just a little more work. And then you can knead it by hand. Just keep working until it is smooth and elastic.
