KitchenAid Bread Recipe

Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons butter
4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
5 to 6 cups of bread four

Methods:
Heat milk, sugar, salt, and butter in a small sauce pan over low heat until the butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.

Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed mixer bowl. Add milk mixture and 571 grams (4.5 cups) of flour. Turn to speed 2 and mix for about 1 minute.

Continuing on speed 2, add remaining flour (192 grams) slowly and mix until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl, about 2 minutes. Knead on speed 2 about 2 minutes longer, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Dough will be slightly sticky to the touch.

Place dough in greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover. Let rise in warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.

Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each half into a loaf and place in greased loaf pans. Cover. Let rise in warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.

Bake at 400 until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire rack.
