Pulled from the family recipe notebook, this is Susan's white bread — the kind that filled the whole house with warmth on Saturday mornings. Her notes were specific about the Bosch mixer, and the result is a soft, pillowy loaf every time.
Ingredients
- 6 cups milk, heated lukewarm
- 1½ tbsp yeast

- Run the Bosch mixer on setting "2."
- Gradually add more flour until the bowl is clean and the dough pulls away from the sides.

- Let the dough rise, shape into loaves, and place in greased pans.
- Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
