Ingredients
Instructions
- In a stand-up mixer or large bowl, add the flour and salt.
- Create a well in the center of the flour.
- Pour in the oil, warm water, and milk. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and the sugar over the yeast. Allow the yeast to become foamy; this should take about five minutes.
- Add the dough hook and allow the dough to knead the bread 6-8 minutes or until the dough is cohesive and no longer sticking to the walls of the bowl.
- Grease a large bowl with oil or cooking spray and transfer the dough into the bowl.
- Cover tightly and allow the dough to rise 1 ½ hours.
- Lightly flour working surface. Transfer the dough to the surface. Roll out the dough about 8 inches wide until about ½-inch in thickness with a rolling pin; it doesn’t have to be perfect.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log using the 8-inch side. The final log should be 8 inches long.
- Grease a 9x5 inch bread loaf and add the loaf seam down into the pan. Add a towel over the bread pan and rise for another hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F while the dough is rising. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown on top.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before removing it from the bread pan and allowing it to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy, friends.
Notes
- Check your yeast! Dry yeast expires after about a year. Make sure your yeast is still fresh for use; otherwise, it might not rise properly.
- Don’t kill your yeast: Water that is at 138° or hotter will kill the yeast; make sure to use a thermometer to measure the water’s temperature.
- Storage. Store the bread in a paper bag in a cool, dry area.
