The colder weather is here and I love having soup and bread for dinner. It’s one of my favorites because not only is it delicious, there are so many combinations. This week we made tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. Yes it’s simple, but having the homemade soup and homemade bread takes it over the top. I made this classic white bread for our sandwiches being that the kids aren’t big fans of wheat or seeded breads. It uses pantry ingredients so you can whip this up any time…and with Thanksgiving coming up this would make perfect stuffing too!
Classic White Bread

Ingredients
- 1 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 1/4 cups bread flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water.
- Stir in butter, salt and one cup of the flour.
- Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a loaf.
- Place the loaf into a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
- Bake at 375 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove from the oven and brush butter on top of the loaf. Once cooled, slice, serve and enjoy!
