Ted's Special Mini Loaves White Bread (Bread Machine)

Bergy's Note:

I have never tasted softer, crustier, perfect bread. He says it's the whipping cream that does it! Ted said that he often makes the dough places the four balls in the 2lb bread tin, butters the top, covers it with a cloth then places it in the fridge over night allowing 1 hour at room temperature to allow the final raising before baking. This recipe also makes wonderful buns just size them accordingly.

I actually made this bread by hand and it turned out fabulous! I did just as the recipe said, mixed all the dry ingredients together and I heated the cream and water till warm, added it in and I let it rise two times. Once as a dough ball and another as the shaped loaves. I did bake them in mini loaf pans though and made a couple small rolls for another "food project." They all baked up perfectly, very crusty outside and soft and delicious inside. I wish I had more crust on this bread, it's so good! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. Perfect snacking slices!
