CUISINART WHITE BREAD
Yield: 4 loaves, about 1-1/4 pounds each
Preparation: 10 minutes; 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours to rise and bake
2 teaspoons instant yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup warm (105-115° F) water
10 cups unbleached all-purpose flour or bread flour
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room
temperature, cut in 8 pieces
1 tablespoon salt
3 cups cool water
cooking spray
milk for brushing
Dissolve the yeast, sugar and water together in a 4-cup measure;
let stand for 2 to 10 minutes to proof (if it does not bubble or
foam, the yeast is not active; discard and begin again with fresh
yeast). Insert the dough blade. Add the flour, butter and salt to
the work bowl; process for 20 seconds. Scrape the work bowl.
Add the cool water to the proofed yeast mixture; stir to combine.
With the machine running, pour the liquid through the feed tube
in a steady stream as fast as the flour absorbs it (it should take
35 – 40 seconds). Continue processing until the dough starts to
clean the inside of the work bowl and forms a ball. Let the
machine run for 80 seconds to knead the dough.
With lightly floured hands, carefully remove the dough from the
work bowl and shape into a smooth ball. Place in a lightly floured
jumbo resealable bag. Squeeze the air out and seal the bag. Let
rise in a warm (80° F), draft-free place until doubled in bulk,
about 1-1
1 ⁄
2
hours. Coat 4 loaf pans (6 cup: 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2
inch) with cooking spray.
Punch the dough down, divide into 4 equal parts (use a
Cuisinart
® scale for best measurements), cover loosely and let
rest for 10 minutes. Shape into 4 loaves and place each in one of
the prepared loaf pans. Cover with plastic wrap that has been
sprayed with cooking spray, and let rise in a warm, draft-free
place until the center of the loaf is slightly higher than the pan,
about 1 – 1
1 ⁄
2
hours. Fifteen minutes before baking, arrange the
rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 375°F.
Lightly brush the loaves with milk.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 – 35 minutes. Bread will be
golden and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from the pans
and allow to cool completely before cutting.
