That looks amazing. I have tried a thousand recipes for all different breads and it is not one of my biggest strengths. It’s like crap shoot every time. I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks again. God bless you and your family
Just had to let you know that the loaf of bread that I made from you recipe looks beautiful! It is fresh out of the oven and my husband is already talking about putting apple butter on his first slice. Thank you, again, for the recipe and demonstration!
Earlier I posted that I was going to try your recipe and I am eating a piece of it now and it’s a keeper!! It turned out so nice!! It’s got a great taste to it, it’s nice and soft, just like when I was younger and my mom used to make it!
This recipe was simple and delicious! I used it to make sandwiches and they turned out great. The bread was very easy to slice using a meat slicer. This will become a new staple in my house. Thanks for sharing.
I made this bread today and it is amazing! Thx for the recipe and the how to steps. First time I’ve seen someone use the batter beater to mix and then switch to the dough hook to knead. I think that makes a huge difference!
I made this recipe today. It was GREAT! I did take your suggestion and made 2 loaves instead of 1. Still had beautiful smaller loaves with wonderful flavor, and it cut the baking time by 10 min. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’m sure to make it often, so quick and easy! Thanks!
Lol, I just love your ‘or so’ after your measurements, and times! 🤣🤣 This will be my 4th recipe to try. I won’t mention my age, but I’m just making bread for the first time because I bought myself a Kitchen Aid and I want to keep using it, plus I love homemade bread and the bread I buy is more than $4.50 per loaf! So I’m excited to make my own!
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m a newbie at this but your instructions are clear & easy to understand. Can’t wait to get started. Love your channel!
Thank you for this video. My wife and I bought the same mixer 40 years ago. I could not hear what the 3rd ingredient. I suspect that it is yeast but what you said sounded different. Good Luck, Rick
Great vid Toni. I'd hate to be the purse snatcher who goes after you seeing that punch down. :) Will try this recipe as well. Tried the whole wheat pizza dough recipe with half all purpose. Came out great. Will go full whole wheat next time
Thank you so much for this recipe! I can't wait to try it. I just used my Christmas and birthday gift cards to purchase my first stand mixer (on sale). We love soft bread, and other breads, and I was disgusted and tired of paying $3.00 - 5.00 for a loaf of bread in stores. I think even my picky husband will like this recipe.
@@HerHomesteadSkills Yes we sure did! It came out beautiful and I had no problem slicing it with my serrated bread knife- didn’t even have to freeze it!! Thanks so much again!
Hi Toni! I made your recipe for this bread today and it’s just like yours!! I wish I could upload a pic, but thank you so much for sharing this recipe 😊
I'm going to try this recipe, but first I had to go to Amazon and order that cast iron bread pan with handles. I also make all my own soaps. Hope I get as nice a loaf as you did looks so good.
Another recipe for me to try! Can hardly wait! Do you slice with serrated knife or use electric knife? I`ve started using my electric & it is so much easier. Thanks for sharing your recipe..the high rise bread looks awesome!!
Going to give that recipe a try for sure. That's the first time I've seen homemade bread look like commercial sandwich bread. My husband says that the only thing he dislikes about homemade bread is that it doesn't make a good sandwich. Well what he considers a good sandwich. LOL
Basically the recipe we use. The first time my dad had he said it was like eating Twinkies!! The only problem with soft bread is its now difficult to spread butter on it now that they are using palm oil to supplement the feed.
Thank you for your video. God, one loaf at a time, .... That's a deterrent to me, ... being lazy and all. I make five loaves at a time because that's what my oven holds. Five loaves are generally good for a week give or take a day. The bread gets frozen right away (As soon as it's cooled and bagged) and comes out of the freezer as fresh as it went in. True story. Still, I'll give this a try. I just wish I had your tools! All I have are my arms and hands eh? OK, when we were kids and couldn't wait for the bread to cool enough to cut, we'd place an old bread knife across the hot burner on the stove and heat it up to cut the loaf with. It works like a charm too. Like a hot knife through butter, except it's bread of course. I've recently started using an egg and some Milk in my bread recipe and it doesn't hurt it at all IMHO. It is a touch more crumbly though. Not a lot but I notice. Thank you for the recipe and demo Toni! And keep up the great work.
Hi Toni, in listening to ur video & looking at the ingredients list there's a big difference, did u change it? Can u clarify for 1 loaf? That bread looks great!
the ingredients are for a single loaf of bread...but for a larger loaf pan than the ones I use. I currently use the lodge pans and they are on the smallish side, so now I double the recipe and split into three loaves..that fits my pans perfectly.
nope, not the pan or the yeast although both help, I love the lodge pans, and the yeast is the larger jar of yeast that I purchased from Costco (so no specialty stuff there) ...it's the recipe and the amount of time you leave it to rise.
I have made breads and rolls before, with a heavy duty hand mixer, but not for quite a while, due to my shoulders and hands not being what they used to be. I blame that on mileage, not age...LOL 😉
Wow! Wow! Wow! I must say that this recipe is the best one I have tried and finally got through with soft flawless bread, from top to bottom. Mam I thank you so much for this recipe and method. No more bread buying for me. I love it. ❤😊
I’m having that problem too. I’ve been wondering if I swap out one cup whole grain for 1 cup all purpose or bread flour, would it be lighter. Going to try that on my next loaf.
@Carolyn Egan No, actually this recipe produces really soft bread, almost like the store bought stuff, and I just use all purpose flour...I believe it may have something to do with the increased amounts of water, sugar and yeast relative to the amount of flour that I normally use.
@@carolynegan5916 I feel the same way about waste, Carolyn. I’ve been going to ask Toni myself, so I was glad to see your comment. I hope you didn’t mind my interjection.
@@karenallen1730 not at all, no worries! So I did read that when using fresh milled flour it’s best to use less, like 1/4 or so less, than all purpose because the wheat flour absorbs more water making the dough dense. And adding 1 TB of the vital wheat gluten helps with elasticity. Maybe Toni can jump in with her thoughts? I’m going to give it a go soon, see if what I read was right 😉
Guess what I’m doing??? I’m making this recipe in my Oster Bread Machine on the “dough” setting… 1-1/2 C + 1 t warm water 3 T sugar 1 T yeast 3 T softened butter 4-1/4 C flour 1 heaping t salt It is proofing & has 45 minutes to go… YES! My grandmother is probably turning in her grave with crossed eyes right now!!! She ALWAYS made her bread the traditional way… However, I believe she will be impressed with my ingenuity when I tell her that I figured out how to make bread with a machine, of all things!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@HerHomesteadSkills Wish I could show you the pic of the finished product! This IS the bread bomb of all time!!! Perfectly moist, soft & oh so DELICIOUS!!! I have been searching for this recipe for a LONG time and am so happy to have found it!!! Thank you, Jo 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Sorry, I doubled that recipe and split it into 3 loaf pans because it was too much for the one lodge size pan, the written recipe is doubled and yes the 5tba is correct.
accidentally deleted, sorry, I added the ingredients list here for you as well as back in the video...I now divide the dough into three loaves instead of two. Ingredients • 2 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees) • 1 tablespoon active-dry yeast • 1 tablespoon sugar • 1 tablespoon coarse salt • 7 cups bread flour, plus more as necessary • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

Great to hear that!
A good sharp Bread Knife & laying it on its side to slice works great for me.😉👍🏼😀
yup, that's what I do too.

Hi Toni! I made your recipe for this bread today and it’s just like yours!! I wish I could upload a pic, but thank you so much for sharing this recipe 😊
You're welcome!
What kind of flour? Self rising or all purpose or bread?
@@c007zy I used unbleached all purpose flour.
Beautiful bread. I love the cast iron bread pan. 💖
Thank You!
I love homemade did I make it all the time for my family
Thank you! me too!
Good morning Tony and thank you for that recipe I’m definitely going to try making it have you ever doubled the recipe ?
Yes, I do that now and split the double recipe into THREE lodge cast iron loaf pans...they turn out great!
Absolutely delicious recipe and I want to thank you so much for sharing.
My husband and children loved this bread
That's great!
I'm going to try this recipe, but first I had to go to Amazon and order that cast iron bread pan with handles. I also make all my own soaps. Hope I get as nice a loaf as you did looks so good.
you will love it!
Nothing like fresh baked bread,
True, Thank You!
Another recipe for me to try! Can hardly wait! Do you slice with serrated knife or use electric knife? I`ve started using my electric & it is so much easier. Thanks for sharing your recipe..the high rise bread looks awesome!!
I use a serrated.
A great recipe which looks so easy. Will definitely try this one. Thank you Toni.❤

That is beautiful

lol...sometimes it's what we are used too...in some ways, we are creatures of habit! I still prefer crusty Italian bread!
I made this loaf today! Thanks for the recipe ! Waiting for it to bake right now !hehe
Hope you like it!
That looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
My second attempt making this. Fingers crossed 😊
Fabulous 😍
Thank you!
Are you using bread flour or AP?
AP Flour
Beautiful loaf of bread! Is the recipe in the description doubled? It didn't match what you did.
It is supposed to be for a single, but was too much, so future efforts were doubled and cut into three loaves..
Toni are you using Strong bread flour or All purpose normal flour ?
All-Purpose Flour!
Wonderful 🎉
Basically the recipe we use. The first time my dad had he said it was like eating Twinkies!! The only problem with soft bread is its now difficult to spread butter on it now that they are using palm oil to supplement the feed.
Interesting!
How is it hard to spread butter on it? Did you mean the bread that's out of the oven or before oven??
This is going to be my first try at making bread! This looks so delicious! Is there a printed version of this recipe? Thank you.
Sorry, One of my failings is providing written recipes.
I love this recipe!
Me too! It makes the best soft bread!
Would this recipe work for rolls?
Yes, absolutely...they will be soft rolls like the bread, and don't need to bake as long.
@@HerHomesteadSkills thank you. I did make dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls as well. They were all lovely!
That was beautiful bread. I will be making this, I'm not fond of all the preservatives they put in store bought breads.
awesome!

And keep up the great work.
ha...although I enjoy it, I don't eat that much bread!
Will I get the same results if I don't use a hand mixer ?
likely, but you will never know unless you try! :-)
Hi Toni, in listening to ur video & looking at the ingredients list there's a big difference, did u change it? Can u clarify for 1 loaf?
That bread looks great!
the ingredients are for a single loaf of bread...but for a larger loaf pan than the ones I use. I currently use the lodge pans and they are on the smallish side, so now I double the recipe and split into three loaves..that fits my pans perfectly.

i use an electric knife to slice the bread i do the whole loaf at once then into the bag
Thank you! Yes that works too!
Beautiful ❤ can the recipe be doubled or tripled
Yes 😊I'm thinking double the recipe and split into three loaf pans...
Ok thank you..
does lodge cast iron makes the difference or the yeast she is using?
nope, not the pan or the yeast although both help, I love the lodge pans, and the yeast is the larger jar of yeast that I purchased from Costco (so no specialty stuff there) ...it's the recipe and the amount of time you leave it to rise.
I have made breads and rolls before, with a heavy duty hand mixer, but not for quite a while, due to my shoulders and hands not being what they used to be. I blame that on mileage, not age...LOL 😉
ah...for me it has never been age just skinny arms...but I do the best I can and take advantage of all tools that I have access too.
Is your baking pan cast iron?🤔
Yes!

Right it's not keto!
I wish you had sliced after cooking. I wanted to see the crumb
Hi Toni, do you have a recipe or process baking breads from freshly milled flour? My breads come out so dense! Thank you 😊
I’m having that problem too. I’ve been wondering if I swap out one cup whole grain for 1 cup all purpose or bread flour, would it be lighter. Going to try that on my next loaf.
