Tips Tricks and FAQs

You will know the bread is done when it is a pale brown color. You will want to tap on it and have it sound hollow.
Use bread flour. This will help the bread rise faster and make the bread less dense.
If the crust is browning too quickly you can cover loosely with foil.
As soon as it comes out of the oven you can rub butter on the crust, this will help the crust stay nice and tender, perfect for sandwiches. If you want a crusty crust, don’t add butter.
On the second rise, you will want the dough to be higher than the sides of your pan. If it is not, let it continue to rise.
If you plan to make this Amish white bread recipe often, buy your yeast in bulk. You can find it on Amazon in 1-2 pound blocks at really great prices.
If you want to mix with wheat flour you can. I recommend doing a half and half mixture.

Storage

Store your Amish white bread at room temperature for 4-5 days. It is still safe to eat after this, but it might not be as fresh.

Freezer

Amish white bread stores in the freezer really well. I like to pre-slice it and then wrap it in plastic and then place the loaf in a freezer-safe bag. I try to get as much air out of it as I can. It will store for up to 6 months.

When you are ready to enjoy, remove it from your freezer and place it on the counter to thaw. (Keep it wrapped, so it doesn’t dry out.)
