Amish White Bread
This is my favorite home baked bread recipe. I got it from an Amish cookbook years ago and no other bread recipe I have tried beats it. It is a standard in our house with beef stew.

Excellent bread with easy to follow instructions. I used bread flour and kneaded (with Kitchenaid) for 15 minutes. Baked one loaf for dinner and rolled the second one out, sprinkled it with a bit of brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon, rolled it up and let it rise overnight in refrigerator. This morning I set it in a barely warm oven for about an hour to finish rising and then baked cinnamon bread for breakfast. Thanks for the recipe! -
Yummmmm! I'm so happy with this bread...it's wonderful. Nice and light and tasty. I found the rising time in the pans to be just an hour, so that was a bonus. This bread is better than the recipe I'd been using. Definitley a keeper.

Really great recipe for really great bread. Just like my Mom made when I was a little girl.
Delicious, homey, comforting and easy! Thank you for sharing it.
Thick slices of toast, french toast, sandwiches, dinner bread, etc etc etc just soooo good.
note*
I set dough on top of oven to rise while keeping oven turned on to "warm". Same thing for second rising in loaf pans. Each time took only 1 hour to double size of dough. I also used only butter instead of using any shortening. -
I've made this several times and realized I didn't leave a review. This is really good bread, although I used a little less sugar. With a 1/3 cup sugar, it would be awesome for cinnamon raisin bread, however, we don't like our white bread to be too sweet. I do add 2 tablespoons of wheat gluten (makes bread stay fresher longer, plus helps it to raise. I also used 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast - I don't know how much 1/4 oz is, as I use bulk yeast. Anyway now that I've written a book, I'd like to say this is our new favorite white bread recipe. Thanks bunches Karen

My first try at making bread and it is delicious. Mine was a little dense though. Excellent for dipping. I let it rise for 2 hours both times.
