Italiancook the bread I make a lot is King Arthur Classic White Sandwich Bread I made this tonight but I sub one cup of whole wheat for one cup of white and I usually only do 3 cups flour total for each loaf and add more if needed.I made a double batch tonight and it was too dry so I just got some buttermilk out of the fridge and poured about a cup more in the bread to make it where it could mix well and I started with 2 cups of warm water.I guess that's why I needed more liquid probably needed 3 cups to start with a double batch.My bread baked up beautiful and very light and was 4 and a half inches tall baked in a 9x5 pan.This bread with the wheat added in tastes like Natures Own Honey Wheat which is the bread I buy for my husband he doesn't eat homemade bread smh.He is not a bread eater.I don't have a scale so I stir and fill my cup with a scoop method.I've never added the buttermilk to this bread till tonight but I think it'll only make it better.The recipe states to tent the bread after 15-20 minutes but I never do and it doesn't get dark,just right.
I just cut he coconut pie and am very pleased,baked in tin foil pan very flaky and browned very well.I have a question about ya'lls pies.I didn't butter the tin this time but I usually do,my question do you butter the pan,my recipe is part butter and part Crisco?
