Homemade White Bread
/
There is nothing like the smell of fresh bread coming from the oven until you take that first bite of warm, soft bread slathered with butter, then there’s nothing like the taste of homemade bread.
I just love fresh homemade bread. There is nothing like it. I have tried several recipes that I just could not love. I finally came across this recipe in an old recipe box that was bought at a yard sale. I can honestly say, “I Love This Recipe.”
Now, I am not one who can make bread by hand. But I do use my Kitchen Aid. When I first started making bread, I used a bread machine to do all the kneading. I did try baking the bread in the machine and did not like it one bit. Of course, the hole in the bottom with the paddle stuck inside, did not help the matter either.
