Soft Sandwich Bread

Now that I have started baking bread without my trusty bread machine, I cannot resist making bread once a week. I usually have a bit and send the rest to my parents. I think they have started to expect me to always show up with a half of loaf or so whenever I visit. Miss F and I shared a couple slices with butter, no need for any sandwich ingredients for us. In fact, when I was a kid, I usually took a butter sandwich in my lunch. Two slices of bread with butter spread between them. I don't eat cold cheese on a sandwich and I am not a huge lunchmeat fan. Maybe one day I should send a butter sandwich in Miss F's lunch. I know she would love it as much as I did.  Thanks so much to Hungry Hungry Highness for the great recipe.

Soft Sandwich Bread

1 ¼ cups hot water
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons honey
1 ½ teaspoons salt
3 ¼ cups + 2 tablespoons flour
2 ½ teaspoons yeast

Whisk together the water, oil, honey, and salt. Add ½ cup flour and the yeast. Mix until it's mostly incorporated. Add half the remaining flour and knead in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add the remaining flour and knead for about 5 minutes.

Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap for 30 minutes in a warm place. Place dough on a floured surface. Roll until a log 9 inches wide by about 30 inches long. Roll it up and place it in a greased 9x5 loaf pan. Let rise, covered, for 30 minutes in a warm place.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
