When I first reviewed this recipe, I made it in my KA stand mixer. The dough was somewhat stiff in the beginning, but after it went through the first raise it was a lot softer and easier to work with. I may have put too much flour in it during the kneading process, but it turned out great. This has become my "all-purpose white bread." I use it for toast, sandwiches, croutons, and crumbs. I started making it by hand as it goes together so quickly and I don't have to wash up the mixer! It has a nice firm texture and doesn't get so "overblown" it won't fit into the toaster slots. I have started using non-instant powdered milk (available on-line and in health food stores), and I prefer the results over using standard, instant dry milk. It is a very economical recipe to use and you get two 8 x 4 standard loaves for your efforts. (I use Chicago Metallic one pound bread pans.) I tent with foil halfway through the baking time and rub the tops with butter after they come out of the oven. MizzNezz, thanks for a super recipe!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
