Does anyone have a good white bread recipe
I'm looking for a good bread recipe, white, unbleached flour. I want something that won't crumble the second day. I found one that is great the first day, but after that it gets crumble. Please help!!

Hi jmabby,
When I want a great recipe I go to recipegoldmine.com or to allrecipes.com They both have great recipes. I have never been disappointed those two places.
I kinda think that if you use one of the recipes with some fat and milk in it it should be moist and stay that way if you store it in a tight container.

Thank you ladies. I will check out the sites and also the recipe Donna gave. I have tried an Amish recipe similar to this one and also love it . The recipe I have has 2 packages yeast, 2/3 cup sugar and butter instead of shortening or veg. oil. Mine does crumble after the second day, maybe I'm expecting too much or should add gluten?? I want to try the recipe you gave to see if it is different.

HI! I live in the PA . Dutch country..so there's lots of goodies for sale by Amish & Mennonite. I bought a loaf of bread a few years ago and...OMG !!...it was sooooo good. I read the label as I was enjoying the bread and discovered honey as an ingrediant. I made this bread & I really feel the honey is the 'secret'..try it! It's quick & easy & GOOD!!
4 cups lukewarm water......12 cups sifted flour
4 cakes of pkg. yeast.........2 tbls salt
1/2 cup honey
Combine 1 cup water with yeast & honey. Set aside until mixture starts to bubble, about 5 min. Then pour it into a large mixing bowl & add remaining water, 6 cups flour and salt. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until batter is smooth. Gradually work in remaining flour using just enough to make a medium dough. Form Dough into a ball and place in a large greased bowl, turning to grease dough on all sides. Cover with a towel and let rise uitil double, about 45 min. Punch down & turn out on to a lightly floured board. Cut dough into 3 equal parts & shape each into a loaf. Place in greased loaf pans. Cover with a towel and let rise until double about 30 min. Bake for 30 min or until done. at 400*.

I asked for bread recipes a couple of months ago. I got several really great suggestions here:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/recipes...s-t172130.html
As for flour, I have substituted unbleached/whole wheat/bread flour in just about every recipe I've ever made. The only thing I have noticed is that I have to use more bread flour to balance out whole wheat if I want it to rise properly (I tried half and half flour and found that 1/3 whole wheat to 2/3 bread flour rises much better). Otherwise, I think you can use whatever flour you like.
