Ingredients

The following ingredients have 40 Servings
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees)
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast (quick rise)
  • 1/2 cup warm milk (110 degrees)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)

Instruction

  • NOTE: These instructions use a food processor for convenience sake. You can make this by hand using a bowl and wooden spoon, or use your electric mixture. The results will be the same.
  • In food processor combine warm water, sugar and yeast. Process for 10 seconds. Allow to sit until yeast bubbles and appears foamy.
  • Add warm milk to the yeast mixture and process for 5 seconds. Add salt and oil and process 10 seconds more.
  • Add one cup of the flour and process for 10 seconds. Add remaining two cups of flour and process until dough balls up and comes together.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, 5 or 6 minutes.
  • Place dough in well oiled bowl; turn to coat top. Let rise about 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Punch dough down, knead a few times. Divide dough into four equal parts.
  • Shape into loaves and place into 4 greased mini loaf pans. Place loaves onto a cookie sheet and cover with a soft cloth. Allow to rise 20-30 minutes or until dough has risen about 1-inch above pans.
  • Melt one tablespoon of butter and brush on the tops of the loaves. Bake for 28-30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove from pans to cool the rest of the way.
