Incredibly soft and delicious, this sandwich bread is the perfect recipe for fledgling bakers like me, and one you’ll want to make time and again! I’ll admit that I struggle with baking at times.
Anytime I have a question about baking, or there’s a recipe I want to try to bake, the FIRST place I go to visit is Sally’s Baking Addiction. You can learn more about Sally here, and you can also check out my first post about her blog, My Addiction to Sally’s Baking Addiction. My admiration has only grown since then, and I will ALWAYS recommend that you go to her blog for any and all advice and tips for baking. Why yes, I’m a huge fan girl!!
Of course, having the right tools to make cooking and baking easier also helps me immensely. This was the first recipe I used while trying out our NEW Deluxe Stand Mixer:
Magic in the Mixing
Whether you’re baking a batch of cookies or making a meal for your entire family, the Deluxe Stand Mixer is there for you. It has no-guess presets that automatically reach the ideal time and speed, so you’ll never under- or over-mix your batter again! You can use the Custom setting to set a specific time and choose from 8 manual speeds to prepare recipes you already know and love.
Plus, the Deluxe Stand Mixer goes beyond baking! Use the scraping beater to shred chicken and mash potatoes, the whisk to whip yogurt and whipped cream, and the dough hook to knead pizza dough. And if you’re not sure which accessory to use, the LCD display clearly shows you the recommended accessory for your chosen preset along with the time and mixing speed, so you can mix anything from meatloaf to sweet dough like a pro.

I am loving it, and I am finding that it’s comparable to the more famous brand (which I also own). The only difference is that you can get ours at 50% off when you host a party (or UN-party) with me!
Of course, I wanted baking to be as easy as possible, so in comes my Deluxe Cooking Blender to heat the water and milk to the perfect temperature. Yes, you read that right, our blender cooks. I make sauces, soups and jams regularly with Blenda (ugh, yes, I named her), and she even has a heated wash setting! Here’s more info:
Best Blender for Smoothies—and Soup!
Blenders aren’t just for smoothies anymore. Our innovative blender has settings that heat up to 220˚F (104˚C), which means it doesn’t just blend—it cooks.
With a cooking blender, you can make everything from smoothies and milkshakes to soups, jams, alternative milks, and nut butters. With eight preprogrammed settings and two custom settings, there’s no guesswork. The pitcher has a 6-cup capacity for hot food and 7-cup capacity for cold food, and comes with a tamper, dual-sided cleaning brush, strainer bag, boil-over guard, and a cooking guide with more than 60 recipes.

Lastly, I have to say how much I love my Stone Loaf Pan. This bread FELL out after baking, as you can see in the video. I use it for banana bread, and even meatloaf!
Loaf Pan
Bakers and breadmakers love how yeast breads, pound cakes, banana breads, and quickbreads turn out beautifully golden brown and evenly cooked, every time. This versatile pan can also be used to make stuffing, tender and juicy meatloaf, and more.
Natural Clay Cookware
Our unglazed stoneware is made with our new StoneFusion material making it our strongest and most durable stoneware yet. You can pre-heat, broil, and even put it in the dishwasher. Each piece features a ribbon pattern, so you can easily distinguish it from your original unglazed stones. Like all our stones, you can use it to make your favorite baked goods, frozen foods, or reheated leftovers that are just as good or better than day one. And it only gets better with age. A nonstick seasoning will develop as you use it—the darker it looks, the better it cooks!
Made in the USA

Ingredients
- 1 cup water, warmed to 110°F/43⁰C
- ¼ cup milk, warmed to 110°F/43⁰C
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast Platinum yeast red star instant yeast recommended
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour spoons and leveled
Instructions
Add first TWO ingredients to the Deluxe Cooking Blender. Replace and lock the lid. Push the wheel to get to the CUSTOM HEAT setting. Turn wheel to select 110°F/43⁰C. Push the wheel again to set the timer to 00:00 minutes. Press the wheel to start. Once the blender beeps and is done, carefully remove the lid.
Alternatively, warm milk and water to 110°F/43⁰C in the microwave.
Add warmed water and milk, yeast and sugar to Stand Mixer bowl fitted with dough hook attachment (can use paddle attachment). Cover for 5 minutes.
Uncover bowl, add in butter, salt and one cup flour. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add another cup of flour. Beat on medium speed one minute, then add remaining flour and beat on medium speed for two minutes, or until dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Set Deluxe Stand Mixer to Knead for three minutes.
Brush large bowl with olive oil and place dough in bowl, turning to coat all over with oil. Cover bowl, and let rise in a fairly warm area for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
Grease Stone Loaf Pan.
Uncover dough and punch it down to release air. Roll out on a lightly floured board into a 8” x 15” rectangle, then roll up into an approximately 8-inch log. Place into loaf pan, cover with clean kitchen towel or foil and let rise for one hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F/175⁰C and be sure to move rack to lower portion of oven.
It will be ready to bake when the dough rises about one inch above loaf pan.
Bake for @30-35 minutes, until golden brown on top – also, if you gently tap on the bread, it should sound hollow. If you use an Instant-Read Thermometer to test the bread, the temperature should read 195°F/90⁰C.
Cool about 5 minutes prior to slicing.
