Country White Loaf – For the Bread Machine
Pictures do not do this loaf justice. Never have I ever made such a fluffy and spongy white bread in my bread machine. The interior crumb is spongy and delicious, the crust is an amazing mix of chewy and flaky. I couldn’t be happier.
Also – see the notes if you’re interested in making a Hoagie style sandwich roll, because this bread makes a fantastic Jimmy John’s style sandwich.
A note – this recipe is made for a 1.5 lb loaf, however it fluffed up so much, it filled my 2 lb bread machine. Be prepared! You may need to scale down!
