Grandma was a Great Depression baby and taught me how to make bread. She's long gone and time and trials over the years had me spending far less time in my kitchen. Enters 2020, and found myself back in my kitchen, where I belong and love to be. I've been baking all kinds of bread for the past few years and enjoying every minute of it. I made this recipe last night and I'm over the moon so to speak. Beautiful Bread!! It has become a daunting task to feed my family of 5 with my shrinking pantry. No eggs, no butter.. no problem thanks to you. Much love from my kitchen to yours
Aw this was such a delight to watch. I'd been searching for a reliable sandwich bread recipe anyway, but it was so rewarding to see Dan's enthusiasm and her story about how she learned she can make everything they buy at the store. Learning how to make her own bread by scratch is such a great gift to send her home with. What an awesome experience for her! 💝💝💝 And the loaves turned out great!! I'm so excited to try this! (today, in fact!)
Making my own bread now thanks to this recipe! I do it in the KitchenAid mixer because my bread machine is too small. Turns out great & my husband loves his lunches with homemade sandwich bread!!
I deliberately saved this to enjoy knowing Dan was leaving and knew it would be a joyful video. What a beautiful loaf of bread she made, but even greater memories of her family to treasure.
So glad you had Dan for at least a little while. Our friends had to say good by to sweet JiJi about the same time. JiJi went back to Taiwan. Hope you can still communicate with her and maybe see her again when this virus mess is over.
I wanted to post a picture, but don’t think I’m able to. But I made your recipe!!! It’s SO GOOD!! I can’t believe I made my own sandwich bread!!! All thanks to you Rachel!! Thank you so much 💕💕 I appreciate every single one of your videos!
What a sweetheart! I know she has gone back home....I bet when you watch these videos of the two of you together...the tears flow! 😥 I hope you linked those pans! I need to get at least one. I only saw a pan with a lid once and I didn't understand why that would make sense...now I get it. I am thinking I could actually reproduce that by laying one of my stone baking pans on top of my bread pan! I am going to try that! :)
I tried your bread recipe and used the bread machine to knead as I have problems with my hands, I really liked it and will try it again I did use regular yeast.
I am binge watching your channel and I LOVE this video! You are such a great Mom and teacher! She will have this memory for the rest of her life and she looked so happy! I found myself smiling the entire video! And her bread looked so GOOD!
Rachel I’ve been watching your channel now for two years and this is one of my ALL TIME favourite videos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ it incorporates two essential elements… Warm Homemade Bread and the nurturing aspect of a true lost art… that of “MENTORING “. We miss sweet Dan BTW ✨
Oh we will so miss that beautiful girl💞💞💞💞 Godspeed, safe home Dan, you were a joy to watch. I can hear Rachel’s voice breaking....huge hugs to you Catherine from Canada 🇨🇦
I loved this video!! And thank you so much for showing us without a bread machine! I don’t have one and try to do things the old way. Thank you so much!! What fun you two had learning together!! My mom would make bread, the house would smell wonderful but there wouldn’t be any bread in the house!! Lol! If she didn’t like the way it turned out, she fed it to my grandpas bird dogs!! Ha!!
I made this yesterday but used my bread machine. Being Vegan I used Almond milk instead of milk. It turned out soooo good. I made another loaf today. I am going to buy the pans you use and make it in the oven like you are doing . What a great recipe, Thank you for sharing it.
Been making bread just about every week for over 6 years and I'm still learning something all the time. My fav is a combo whole wheat/all purpose that tastes great but it's not really a sandwich style loaf. I believe I will give this version a try. No machine, no mixer, always by hand.
I just made this tonight and it was a hit with the whole family. And they are picky about their bread 🤗😊 Thank you. I’m not buying bread for 40 days and they were about to go crazy 🙏
Congratulations!!!. I am just like you. I have never been a successful baker, but after watching both of you, i think there is hope for me. Everyone uses Kitchen Aids or a blender, none of which i own. I've always wanted to know how to make a lot of these recipes but couldn't because i only have 2 hands.
Great video! I like you tip on getting the water to the correct temp without using a thermometer! Dan's family will be so impressed with her new bread making skills!
Thank you for sharing this recipe with us! Dan is so adorable - I am so sad that she has to go home early.... maybe she would bless us from her You tube channel by sharing some of her life in Viet Nam and how she uses what she learned while here in the States. Maybe that's where her creativity can take flight.... combining her families recipes and techniques with the good things experienced here.
Am I the only one that was trying to catch that bit of strawberry jam for her??? 🤣🤣 Great recipe and memories. We will miss you Dan. Safe travels home ❤
I made this bread today. Used my regular loaf pan with half the dough and cinnamon rolls with the other. Best bread I have ever made. I used my kitchen aid mixer for mixing.
This is my go to recipe for my family's sandwich bread! I learned it from watching your channel! I love being apart of your homesteading life, you are so real and unscripted that its hard not to enjoy! I have 2 of those loaf pans now btw.. lol I am planning on having a homestead in the near future and y'all are one of my main sources to enjoy watching and learning from! Thank you for being pretty stinkin' cool! Btw.. i would really like to get one of those 1870's homestead hoodies but i cant seem to locate the link.. help??
Use this same dough to make dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls. I am a 87 year old male and I just learned how to bake bread. This is my “go-to” recipe. 😢😢😢😢
I made this tonight with your recipe and it was delicious! My daughter broke open a jar of my canned strawberry jam and gave me a bite. Yum!!! I have the mallet pans without lids and it worked! Thank you for sharing!!!
Dan, I have a feeling your bread is going to be a huge hit with your family and friends back home! I haven’t had much luck with bread making but I think I’m going to try it this way.
I made this bread today...wow! I did cut back the sugar a little, but still excellent! I need to practice in my covered pan to get it to bake yo nice like yours. Mine took about 35 mins.
Good job Dan!! You are taking lots of skills bake home with you. mmmm fresh bread. My mom used to always make bread growing up. We would fight over the crust and put butter and mustard on it. It was delicious. I have been making sour dough bread and other baking with the sour dough starter. It's really delicious as well.
What brand of flour do u use? I sure will miss seeing Dan in your videos. She is so funny and a nice addition to your lovely family. You guys were awesome parents to her.
Hi Rachael! My daughter (9yrs old) and I made your bread recipe today following this video! She kept saying “has it been 15min yet mom , she said 15min before we can eat it” lol! Needless to say 1 loaf was gone within a few hours! My question is. Is there a way to pre make the dough and keep it in the fridge or freezer so it’s quick to bake up? I have a feeling I’ll be making this more then once a week ! Thank you ! Love watching your videos!
I always say better late than never! This looks like a great recipe, but what would you change if you wanted to make it whole wheat bread? And also, if I have traditional bread pans, have to change anything else with this recipe? Thanks and God bless from Rhode Island!
I will be sad to see Dan go and will miss seeing her in your videos. You did a great job with the bread, Dan! Question about the bread...I do not have a Pullman loaf pan, just regular ones. Will this recipe still give me two loaves? Thank you!
If you want to follow Dan, here's a link to her UA-cam channel: ua-cam.com/channels/S6tqDoF3FZcMHvGeA2O2Tw.html
I just love how Dan was so excited to see her hard work come out of the oven. Fantastic job.
I like the way she removed her ring before she started kneading 👍👍

This was so cool, passing on skills to another generation and culture :) Dan will always remember this !

It was as fun day to bake with her
So glad you had Dan for at least a little while. Our friends had to say good by to sweet JiJi about the same time. JiJi went back to Taiwan. Hope you can still communicate with her and maybe see her again when this virus mess is over.
Rachel….this recipe is the BOMB!! Made it this morning and it is absolutely amazing.❤❤

She has been a joy to have

Dan is adorable.
I made it to the cooking playlist 🤣 I've learned more than you know just by watching you guys! ❤️
Very cool! I have a Korean daughter who was with us for a full year. So much fun. 🥰
I made this yesterday but used my bread machine. Being Vegan I used Almond milk instead of milk. It turned out soooo good. I made another loaf today. I am going to buy the pans you use and make it in the oven like you are doing . What a great recipe, Thank you for sharing it.

Yeah so glad you are here
Awe. What a sweet memory she will always have. 💕
This is the bread I am making today-except I'll form dinner rolls. My family loves this stuff. And Dan, have a safe trip home and I love your apron.
Dinner rolls would be great
Safe travels and you have taught her some great life skills to take home and bless her family.
We will miss her
I make my own bread but am trying this recipe right now. My recipes are more” creative” and not always sandwich type. Thank you for the share
She's so precious!! What a blessing to know her! 💜💜
Indeed
I just made this tonight and it was a hit with the whole family. And they are picky about their bread 🤗😊 Thank you. I’m not buying bread for 40 days and they were about to go crazy 🙏
Is it all purpose flour she used?
Congratulations!!!. I am just like you. I have never been a successful baker, but after watching both of you, i think there is hope for me. Everyone uses Kitchen Aids or a blender, none of which i own. I've always wanted to know how to make a lot of these recipes but couldn't because i only have 2 hands.
Thank you for the tip on boiling the water for the yeast.
Great video! I like you tip on getting the water to the correct temp without using a thermometer! Dan's family will be so impressed with her new bread making skills!
The water temp tip is everything!
Thank you for sharing this recipe with us!

Maybe that's where her creativity can take flight.... combining her families recipes and techniques with the good things experienced here.
I'm excited to see what she accomplishes in her future
I loved this. She was so blessed to have you.
I just made this bread today and OH MY GOODNESS IT IS SO GOOD!!! I can't wait to grow those fresh tomatoes this summer and have a mater sandwich 😋
Oh my goodness! I loved watching y’all together so much. ♥️
Love home made bread!!! Good job ladies!
What a special time you have had together.
Am I the only one that was trying to catch that bit of strawberry jam for her??? 🤣🤣 Great recipe and memories. We will miss you Dan. Safe travels home ❤
I just love this video! Great job passing down skills Rachel!
Lovely to put a face to the 'Dan' we heard you both talk about in an earlier video. What a sweet girl.❤
Yummy bread! What an adorable young lady!
I made this bread today. Used my regular loaf pan with half the dough and cinnamon rolls with the other. Best bread I have ever made. I used my kitchen aid mixer for mixing.
It's a perfect all purpose bbred recipe, we've made homemade hot pockets, pizza rolls, cheddar jalapenos bread, all sorts of good things with it
Prayers for Dan and her family in Vietnam. May you have a blessed life.
Thank you
I bought the bread pan with the cover. I am so excited to get it and try!
Her reactions are too cute! LOL That is EXACTLY the reaction from learning just how hard it is to gain bread-making muscles 🤣
I'm making this right now. Letting it rise. I'm excited.
This is my go to recipe for my family's sandwich bread! I learned it from watching your channel! I love being apart of your homesteading life, you are so real and unscripted that its hard not to enjoy! I have 2 of those loaf pans now btw.. lol I am planning on having a homestead in the near future and y'all are one of my main sources to enjoy watching and learning from! Thank you for being pretty stinkin' cool! Btw.. i would really like to get one of those 1870's homestead hoodies but i cant seem to locate the link.. help??
Agreed. Rachel and Todd are one of the best channels to watch, and they are such a cute couple too!
This was such a fun video to watch, gave us a chance to get to know Dan
I never made bread but I will give it a try.
I’m so excited!! I bought the pans you suggested I made your bread recipe and it turned out great. Thanks.
fresh baked bread is sooooo good and makes the whole house smell good!!!!
It sure does 😊
Beautiful bread!
I JUST put in my sandwich bread into the oven em using your dimpled covered pan!!!!! ❤
I made this yesterday!! Love it!!! Thank you!
Use this same dough to make dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls.
I am a 87 year old male and I just learned how to bake bread. This is my “go-to” recipe. 😢😢😢😢
Dan really deserves a Kitchenaid mixer for at home! I know she would get a lot of use out of it.
I made this tonight with your recipe and it was delicious! My daughter broke open a jar of my canned strawberry jam and gave me a bite. Yum!!! I have the mallet pans without lids and it worked! Thank you for sharing!!!
Yeah! So glad you liked it!
Dan, I have a feeling your bread is going to be a huge hit with your family and friends back home! I haven’t had much luck with bread making but I think I’m going to try it this way.
I hope you have great success with it
You did a much better job than i could.
I made this bread today...wow! I did cut back the sugar a little, but still excellent! I need to practice in my covered pan to get it to bake yo nice like yours. Mine took about 35 mins.
So sorry she has to leave early!😌 Great video, your such a good Momma!!🥰
Thank you, we will miss her
Good job Dan!! You are taking lots of skills bake home with you. mmmm fresh bread. My mom used to always make bread growing up. We would fight over the crust and put butter and mustard on it. It was delicious. I have been making sour dough bread and other baking with the sour dough starter. It's really delicious as well.
Going to make some very soon. Looks delicious 😋
Awesome 👍
What a wonderful video!!
This is the same recipe I always use. Makes the absolute best bread!
It's great isn't it!
You go Girls! Making memories. 💐💐🤣
What brand of flour do u use? I sure will miss seeing Dan in your videos. She is so funny and a nice addition to your lovely family. You guys were awesome parents to her.
I typically buy White Lily
What a beautiful video and memories made. You two are so Sweet, and fun. Trying this recipe, maybe a little less sugar.😉 ✝️💟
She is precious
That was awesome. Dan is really going to be missed!
She will be
Dan is so adorable 😁😁
Great job on the bread Dan! I will admit to thinking as you were rolling it up that you were missing the butter and cinnamon. :)
Oh she loves cinnamon rolls
Hi Rachael! My daughter (9yrs old) and I made your bread recipe today following this video! She kept saying “has it been 15min yet mom , she said 15min before we can eat it” lol! Needless to say 1 loaf was gone within a few hours! My question is. Is there a way to pre make the dough and keep it in the fridge or freezer so it’s quick to bake up? I have a feeling I’ll be making this more then once a week ! Thank you ! Love watching your videos!
wooow soft and yummy looks
Good job
Just watched this again so I can make bread today. Ohhhh, I miss seeing Dan. I hope all is well with her. Have you remained in contact with her?
I always say better late than never! This looks like a great recipe, but what would you change if you wanted to make it whole wheat bread? And also, if I have traditional bread pans, have to change anything else with this recipe? Thanks and God bless from Rhode Island!
those are amazing bread pans!!! Where did you find those?
Wonderful!!!!
Yum! Gonna have to try this recipe!
I've had several people use and and say it's the best. I think you'll be really happy with it
That 1870's Homestead Is that the kind of bread you gave us when we visited? Because it was sooooo good
This is one of my fav videos.
So Good!!
Thank you
Going to try this. Will use less sugar because I don’t like sweet sandwich bread. Wonder how much to use?
I find 1/3 cup or just 3 Tbsp sugar is good for this recipe. I have made it both ways with good results.
Good job ladys!
Thank you
That looks so yummy 😋
It's so soft and yummy
Yumo
Great Job, Dan!! Praying for safe travels home🤗
Thank you
I'm so sorry Dan has to leave. She is such a sweet beautiful lady. We are going to miss her♥️
We sure are
😊 what size bowl is it that you use? Thanks for sharing.
Aww Be safe great video thanks for sharing with us ❤
Thank you y'all stay safe too
She is adorable :)
When u use the bread machine is it only to make the dough or do you cook it in there also? 😊♥️🇨🇦🍁
I will be sad to see Dan go and will miss seeing her in your videos. You did a great job with the bread, Dan!
Question about the bread...I do not have a Pullman loaf pan, just regular ones. Will this recipe still give me two loaves? Thank you!
For sure my loaf pans are very long much longer than a standard bread pan
This is the only recipe I've seen with just one proofing. Found that surprising.
I’ll try it ; thanks
I hope it works out for you
Awesome! Love those bread pans..do you mind if I ask where you got them? Sweet video sure can feel the love yall share!
Amazon, link in video description
I LOVE THIS VIDEO DO YOU PREPARE THE PAN IN ANY WAY BEFORE PUTTING THE BREAD INTO IT?
Just oil it
Love the pans,are they amish pans?
What a sweet video ;)
Thank you
What if I have active dry yeast? Do I do it the same way 1cup boil water and 1 cup cold water
Travel safe Dan and don't let quarantine get you down.
Thank you 😊
