✅Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoon instant dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 5 1/2-6 cups all-purpose flour

✅Instructions

1️⃣In a microwave safe bowl or cup, warm the milk until it is warm to the touch, 100-110 degrees Fahrenheit.

2️⃣In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the milk, sugar, yeast, salt, melted butter, and 5 cups of flour. Knead on a low setting for 1 minute until combined, Slowly increase speed and add the remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough forms a smooth and elastic ball that is soft and tacky, but not sticky.

3️⃣Put the dough ball into a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 90 minutes until double in size.

4️⃣After 90 minutes, divide the dough into two equal pieces. Roll or press each piece into a 9-inch by 7-inch rectangle. Roll each lengthwise into a tight roll and pinch the ends shut.

5️⃣Transfer each loaf into a lightly greased 9-inch by 5-inch bread loaf pan. Cover and let rise for an additional 60 minutes until double in size.

6️⃣Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Bake bread for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.

7️⃣Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan and letting it cool completely.

USE THIS RECIPE ! FYI for anyone who is wondering is this is a recipe to use.. YES IT IS !! I've been a bread maker for 40 years. Tried this one - which is very similar to mine- and it comes out PERFECT !! ... ALL her bread recipes turn out perfect ! & thank you "stay at home chef" for keeping your videos to the point, short, & easy to follow !

[erinbohannon]

I just wanted to say how much I love your videos. You get right to the point, and are detailed. And your smile is pretty

Wonderful and easy recipe. Years ago a friend said something that has always stuck with me... "Always bake two loaves of bread at a time. Cool one for later but make one by rolling the dough into balls, rolling in melted butter and placing in the bread pan - then when done baking, you have a warm loaf of pull apart bread to bliss out with". As a family of fresh hot bread lovers, this is the only way the one loaf will get to last long enough to cool.
Another great tip... When you pat out the loaf, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, raisins, toasted nuts, dried fruits, shredded cheese or herbs and then roll into the loaf. Sprinkle a little on the top of the loaf so you know what is in it.

We love this bread! My husband slices it about 1/2 inch thick with the electric slicer. I absolutely LOVE making this bread!!

First time in my life making bread, and family loved it!! In this times of Covid 19, with family staying home in shelter-in-place, we appreciate this recipe so much, it's nice to involve the little people, ... and our home made bread makes the house smell like a sweet bakery. Thank you so much for the recipe. We💖🍞!

I’ve been yearning to do this for a year now at least because I’m so tired of going back and forth to the store for milk bread and the basics plus prices keep going up☹️
I’m going to let this be a start to saving time and money!
Then I’m gonna learn how to make my own washing powder 👍🏽
THANK YOU 😊

Thank you for this super easy to follow bread recipe! I've watched countless bread recipe videos, and this one is by far the most succinct and easiest to follow. I literally just followed along with the video, pausing and resuming when needed. Instructions were clear and easy to understand. No time wasted on unnecessary shots (one bread video had me watching the chef running her tap to find the correct water temperature-waste of time). I'll definitely be making this recipe again as my bread turned out beautifully! Thanks again!

OMG, I have been wanting to make bread for months but never found a recipe I cared for. And here you are with the tried and true that I trust. My goodness girl, you really went in to great detail for us and using both white and wheat flours. I need to get some yeast, I have a very fast acting, but I don't think that is what you used. Will write it down and shop for yours. I am just excited to do this. I hate store bread. Been having a hard time buying bread for two years now, most are just crap to me. Hubby thinks I am too picky. Well, we will see what he says when I make your bread.... Thank you and thank you so very much for this video tutorial and recipe. I love it. Many hugs to you my dear.... Claudia

[dewiwedewi]

This becomes my husband & my fav bread ever. No more buying bread, just baking the bread by myself. Thanks for Rachel, she is great👏👏

[sydneydelarosa]

[nancycalderin]

[edwindiaz]

Hi, guys ! I've tried at least 4 different bread recipes and this one is, by far, the best one... Thanks for the vid. To everyone out there, please, take care, be safe ! God Bless !

[abolton]

[evelynrivera]

Omg!!! I’ve been trying to make bread for years and it was always a failure until now I love love how easy this was to follow that I now have my sister and cousin making bread.

[LoveTravelAway]

I love your recipes and your explanation that's why I follow you on FACEBOOK, thank you for showing us the three different types of bread, that was fantastic. I will make these beautiful loafs of bread tomorrow. Everyone stay safe and pray . God bless

[helenvienneau]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I've made it several times, and making it again today. This is a great recipe, bread is light, and soft, and the best part it's quick to mix up.
