It is a widely known fact that I am a bread lover. Sweet white bread is my favorite, probably because it is the furthest from healthy you can get when it comes to the bread group. I have two different versions of the bread, one is a bit sweeter.
Original Amish Bread
2 3/4 cups bread flour
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon yeast
Add sugar, salt, water and oil in bread machine, then flour (make sure it covers all wet ingredients), lastly add the yeast. Bake bread at desired settings.
Here is another version for sweeter bread...
Amish Honey Bread
3 cups bread flour
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon yeast
Add sugar, salt, water, oil and honey in bread machine, then flour and lastly yeast on top.
Bake bread at desired settings.
I set my bread machine settings to 'quick bread' and 'light' for crust color. Once the bread machine beeps it is done baking, I immediately pull the pan out of the machine. Let cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then I remove from pan for the remainder cooling period. I keep our bread in a sealed container. This bread literally is the best homemade sandwich bread, not crusty at all. The key to longevity of moist bread is keeping it in a sealed container.
