White Bread

I have just made my first loaf of bread and it tastes fantastic. My husband said it tasted great both with peanut butter and without. It has a crispy crust and springs back when you press on it, almost like a sponge. It has a hollow sound and a nice golden brown colour. My son loves his bread with cream cheese.
3 cups all purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk, warm
1 egg white,
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk, warm
1 egg white,
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
Glaze:
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water.
Directions
- Dissolve yeast in warm milk.
- Melt butter, about 30 seconds in a microwave.
- Add melted butter to yeast and milk mixture and stir.
- Place the flour and salt in a large bowl and mix.
- Add egg white, honey, milk, yeast and butter mixture to the flour and mix until dough forms.
- Cover dough with plastic wrap and leave to rise for 1 hour at room temperature until dough has doubled in size.
- Punch dough once to deflate.
- Gently form dough into a rectangle and place dough into a greased 9 by 5 inch loaf pan, ensure the dough touches all four sides.
- Cover pan with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes. Meanwhile preheat oven to 350°F.
- Coat dough with the egg wash after it has risen a second time.
- Place dough into a preheated oven and bake for 30 – 40 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove dough from pan and place on a rack to cool.
