Sliced ​​bread is easily one of the most versatile breads out there. It is perfect for sandwiches, toast, croque-monsieur and all sorts of other tasty recipes. In addition to its versatility, it’s also relatively easy to make at home, using a few simple ingredients and following a basic recipe. In this article, we are going to present you the perfect recipe to prepare the best sandwich bread at home, as well as tips and tricks to vary the flavors.

1. The necessary ingredients

1. Les ingrédients nécessaires

To make the best sandwich bread, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 500g flour
  • 300ml lukewarm water
  • 60g caster sugar
  • 15g salt
  • 60g softened butter
  • 1 sachet of baker’s yeast

2. Preparation steps

2.1 Preparation of the dough

2.1 La préparation de la pâte

First, in a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. In another bowl, mix the lukewarm water, sugar and baker’s yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes, until the mixture begins to foam.

Add the softened butter to the liquid preparation, then incorporate it into the flour and salt. Mix until the dough is smooth and homogeneous. Place the dough in another clean bowl and cover it with a clean cloth. Let the dough rise for about 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.

2.2 Baking the sandwich bread

2.2 La cuisson du pain de mie

After rising, take the dough out of the bowl and knead it for a few minutes on a lightly floured surface. Then divide the dough in half, then place each half in a lightly buttered loaf pan. Cover the molds with a clean cloth and let the dough rise for a second time, for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C, then bake the molds for about 30 to 40 minutes. Once the bread is golden brown and its internal temperature reaches 90°C, remove it from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing it.

3. Flavor Variations

Although the basic sandwich bread recipe is delicious on its own, it is also possible to add different flavors and textures to vary the pleasures. Here are some ideas to try:

3.1 Sandwich bread with walnuts

Add a handful of chopped walnuts to the dough before the first rise to give your sandwich bread a nutty flavor.

3.2 Cinnamon sandwich bread

Add 2 tablespoons of cinnamon to the dough before the first rise to create a perfect sandwich loaf for sweet toast in the morning.

3.3 Sandwich bread with raisins

Add a handful of raisins to the dough before the first rise to give your sandwich bread a slight sweet taste.

4. Tips and Tricks

Here are some tips for making the best sandwich bread at home:

– Use lukewarm water to activate the baker’s yeast. If the water is too hot it can kill the yeast, while if it is too cold the yeast will not be activated properly.

– Use softened butter to make it easier to incorporate into the dough.

– Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place to ensure even rising.

– You can also add a little honey to the dough to give it an extra sweet taste.
