Extremely Soft White Bread
/
My wife and I just returned from a three week trip to Italy and oh my goodness, were we spoiled with food and wine. One of our biggest take aways? That we take for granted how fresh foods really make a difference. Not only for our health but for the overall good it does for our bodies. Once we returned and settled back into the swing of things, we booked it to Bed Bath and Beyond and purchased a bread machine. Now, each Sunday I am making fresh bread for the week. This was the first recipe I followed to make a soft, delicious, white bread.
