Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 Tablespoons butter melted
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ cup hot water (about 115 degrees)
- 2 Tablespoons rapid rise yeast
- 5 cups bread flour
- 1 egg white
- 1 Tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
Instructions
- Using a stand mixer, mix together the sugar, butter, salt, water, and yeast. Let it set for 5 minutes until nice and foamy.
- Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, until it forms a ball.
- Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size (about 30 minutes).
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 2 equal balls. Roll into a ball and place side by side on a baking sheet. Cut cross slits in the top. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix the egg white with the water. Brush over the top of each ball of dough. Sprinkle evenly with salt and rosemary. Bake for 20-25 minutes. It will be golden brown and sound hollow when you tap on the bottom.
Notes
- Adapted from One More Moore
- It can be baked in a loaf pan if desired, and it will make 2 loaves.
- The rosemary and salt on top are just for added flavor; you can omit them if you want to make just sandwich bread.
- Can cut the recipe in half and make one loaf.
