I tried about eight different bread recipes before finding the one that I now make weekly for my sandwiches. This is it. It's a modification of a recipe from a Bob's Red Mill Flour bag. It was written for bread machines, but I bake it in the oven instead because I don't like the shape of the loaves in my bread maker. You could also mix it by hand, but using the bread machine or stand mixer is much easier.
05Turn out the bread onto a well-oiled surface. Flatten the dough somewhat, then fold it. Begin by bringing the edge closest to you into the center, then fold down the top. Repeat with the left and right sides. If needed, stretch the loaf to make it more oblong.
06Place the loaf into a greased 9 x 5 loaf pan.
07Preheat the oven to 375.
08While the oven is heating, allow the loaf to rise until it has just crested the top of the pan.
09Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Tent the bread with foil, and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
10Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
11Note: The gluten is a very important ingredient. It helps give the bread its light, fluffy texture. You can find it at Whole Foods or in the bulk bins at WinCo.
