White Sandwich Bread

I’ve been making all our bread for the past four months…. By my calculations that is almost 65 loaves of my  White Wheat Bread!  Every weekend I bake at least 4 loaves of bread.  Once the loaves are cooled, I slice them up, bag them and freeze a couple so they are fresh for the entire week.

Homemade bread only stays fresh for a few days.  Freezing the bread helps prolong the freshness.  After four months of the same sandwich bread, I decided we needed a bit of a change; White Sandwich Bread!  Don’t get me wrong, we really like our white wheat bread, but variety is good from time to time!

Sandwich Bread Loaf

I decided to make white sandwich bread.  But I just couldn’t help but add a few cups of white wheat flour just to help add to the nutritional value.  This recipe makes four loaves of bread.  I’ve decided when I make bread, I might as well make a large batch.  It doesn’t take much more effort, and we sure seem to eat that much!
