Amish White Bread

I got this white bread recipe from a friend. It is very easy and doesn’t take long to make.

You may have heard this called milk bread. Make this by hand or in a bread machine – both instructions are included. It freezes well, too!

Bread flour or all-purpose

This recipe works best with bread flour but you can also use all-purpose if you like. Just be aware that the texture may be a little more dense and your loaf will not rise as high.

If you are using all-purpose flour and you happen to have some wheat gluten around you can replace 1 tablespoon of flour with 1 tablespoon of gluten for every cup.

That will give it the rise and fluffiness you’re looking for in this sweet white bread.

Help it rise!

There are definitely a lot of ways to get yeast dough to rise – such as keeping it in the oven with the light on, etc.

My favorite is to use a natural dough enhancer like one of these-

• Ground ginger helps to activate the yeast and really get it going.
• Potato water strengthens the structure of the dough allowing it to rise higher.

Ingredients

2 Cups warm water about 110-120 degrees
