    I like to mill 810g hard white, and 160g Kamut

    8 c
  • 1&1/2 cup water 360g
  • 1&1/2 cup milk 360g
  • Butter 84g
    6 tbsp

Directions

  1. 1

    Firstly, Mill the flour

  2. 2

    Then, to a microwave safe bowl add water, milk, and butter and microwave until the butter is melted completely.

  3. 3

    Add water/milk/butter mixture to stand mixer bowl, then add sugar, egg, and salt. Mix to combine.

  4. 4

    Then, add flour to the stand mixer, and start to mix until all the dry flour is gone.

  5. 5

    Cover and let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, up to 2 hours to allow the fresh milled flour to absorb the liquid.

  6. 6

    Then, add the instant yeast. Start to mix the yeast in until combined.

  7. 7

    Start the kneading process. This could take 25 minutes with fresh milled flour, or less. This varies greatly, so the best way to check if the dough is done being kneaded, is to check for a window pane test.

  8. 8

    Once a successful window pane test is done, then, cover the dough and let it rise until doubled. This will typically take 1 to 2 hours.

  9. 9

    After the dough has doubled in size, then, divide the dough in half. I like to use some oil on my hands and work surface to help with the wetter stickier dough.

  10. 10

    Press each piece flat, then roll up to shape. Make sure there is some surface tension.

  11. 11

    Place in a parchment paper lined 4×8 bread pan, and cover for about 40-50 minutes until puffy looking.

  12. 12

    Preheat oven to 350*F towards the end of this second rise time.

  13. 13

    Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 190*F.

  14. 14

    Take bread out of the oven, and out of the bread tins right away, and place them on a wire cooling rack.

  15. 15

    Let cool for at least one hour before slicing.

  16. 16

    Slice to desired thickness, and enjoy!

About this Recipe

Bake the Best Everyday Sandwich Bread with Fresh Milled Flour!

There's nothing quite like the aroma of freshly baked bread filling your home, and making your own everyday sandwich bread is a truly rewarding experience. This beginner-friendly recipe transforms the simple into the sublime by harnessing the power of fresh milled flour. Moving beyond store-bought loaves, you'll discover a world of superior flavor, texture, and incredible nutrition.

Using whole grain flour that's milled fresh at home ensures you retain all the beneficial nutrients often stripped away in commercial processing. We particularly love a blend of hard white wheat and a touch of Kamut, which contributes to a subtly sweet, nutty flavor and a wonderfully soft crumb that's perfect for slicing. This isn't just a loaf of bread; it's a wholesome foundation for all your favorite sandwiches.

Why Choose Fresh Milled Flour for Your Loaf?

Opting for fresh milled flour makes a significant difference. It’s a game-changer for homemade bread, offering:

  • Enhanced Flavor: A richer, more complex taste profile compared to conventional white flour.
  • Superior Nutrition: Retains the germ and bran, packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
  • Amazing Texture: Creates a soft, pliable crumb with a delicate crust, ideal for a hearty sandwich.

This recipe is designed to be straightforward, even if you're new to baking with freshly milled grains. With clear steps and readily available ingredients like milk, butter, and yeast, you’ll be pulling warm, golden loaves from your oven in no time. Imagine the incredible taste and health benefits wrapped into every slice of your homemade whole wheat bread!

Tips for Perfect Sandwich Bread

  • Sweetener Choice: Whether you opt for sugar or honey, both will contribute to the bread's tenderness and beautiful golden crust.
  • Flour Blend: While we recommend a blend of hard white wheat and Kamut for a balanced flavor, feel free to experiment with other whole grains once you're comfortable.
  • Serving Suggestions: This versatile loaf is perfect for classic lunch sandwiches, morning toast with jam, or alongside a comforting bowl of soup.

Enjoy the journey of baking this delightful and nutritious fresh milled flour sandwich bread that will become a staple in your kitchen!
