This butter top bread just came out of the oven a little while ago.

This is a very easy bread to make and is great for sandwiches, French toast, garlic bread, and stuffing.

Bread Recipe



Ingredients
  • 2 cups hot tap water
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 5 1/2 cups flour
Directions
  1. Dissolve sugar in the hot water
  2. Add yeast and whisk until mixed
  3. Allow yeast to proof until it gets foamy on top
  4. Whisk salt and oil into yeast
  5. Using the bread hook and lowest speed on stand mixer, add flour one cup at a time
  6. Once the dough is consistent, drizzle with vegetable oil and roll it around in the bowl to coat it
  7. Cover with a warm damp cloth (I use cheese cloth)
  8. Allow to rise 1 hour
  9. Punch down dough and knead for a few minutes.
  10. Divide in half
  11. Shape into two loaves (or use for buns and rolls. I usually make 1 loaf and make buns or rolls with the other half)
  12. Place loaf in an oiled 9x5 loaf pan or whatever baking sheet or molds you’re using
  13. Allow 30 minutes to rise and preheat the oven to 350
  14. Bake at 350: buns and rolls for 20 minutes, loaf of bread for 30 minutes.
Buttering the top is optional after it comes out of the oven, but I usually do that.
