‘Five-Star’ White Sandwich Bread – Prepared in a Bread Maker

If you'd like to see photos with this recipe, I've included a link at the bottom of this post.

You’re gonna love this recipe! The loaf bakes up super high with a lovely, springy texture – great for sandwiches, toast and French Toast. Because it’s made in a bread maker, you just add the ingredients, press a button and, in a few hours, you’ll be making sandwiches with freshly baked bread.

I love reading reviews of recipes and it seems people have fallen in love with this recipe. In fact many reviewers said they made this bread two to three times a week. You can’t have a better recommendation than that! King Arthur Flour calls this “Bread Machine Bread – Easy as Can Be”, but I prefer the name “Five-Star Bread” because this recipe is so highly rated!

King Arthur Flour, based in Vermont (USA), has been in existence as a flour mill since 1790 – that’s a long, long time. I truly love their products. When we had our farm in Quebec we traveled back and forth between our ‘Yellow Farmhouse’ here in Massachusetts and our farmhouse ‘up north’ – and I loved to drop by King Arthur’s Flagship Store, aptly named The Baker’s Store, in Norwich, Vermont. If you’re ever in the New England area, I highly recommend dropping by!!
