white sandwich bread

ingredients

For one 9x4 sandwich loaf:

⊹ 220g of warm water

⊹ 50g of sugar

⊹ 8g of dry active yeast

⊹ 1 large egg

⊹ 28g of unsalted butter, melted

⊹ 10g of salt

⊹ 438g of all purpose flour (3 cups)

⊹ 1/3 cup of chocolate chunk

⊹ a dash of salt

⊹ a dash of ground cinnamon

⊹ a dash of coffee powder

Combine the warm water, dry active yeast, and granulated sugar in a large baking bowl. Whisk to combine, and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom.
Add the melted butter and the kosher salt to the bowl of the stand mixer. Whisk to combine.
Slowly add the all purpose flour to the bowl.
Knead the dough by hand for 10-20 minutes. Personally, I need the dough until its surface looks smooth.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean shower cap or plastic wrap, and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray 9x4 pans with nonstick cooking spray, or brush lightly with oil.
Pour the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
Press the dough out into an even flat rectangle that is the width of the loaf pan, 9 inches. Roll the dough up into a log and place the dough, seam side down, into the prepared loaf pan.
Cover the loaves loosely with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise for another 45-60 minutes at room temperature. The bread is ready to bake when the top of the dough is about 1/2-inch above the rim of the loaf pan.
Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, rotating the pans after 15 minutes to ensure even browning. The loaves should be tall and golden brown on top. Let the loaves cool slightly for 5 minutes and ENJOY ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚
