Cooking Instructions

Combine in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer:

Add:

Mix by hand or on low speed until the dough comes together, adding additional milk or flour as needed. Knead for about 10 minutes by hand or with the dough hook on low to medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and turn it over once to coat with oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 1-1/2 hours.

Grease an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2-inch (6-cup) loaf pan. Punch the dough down, form into a loaf, and place seam side down in the pan. Cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 1-1/2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Bake the loaf until the crust is golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped, about 45 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan to a rack and let cool completely.
