Sandwich loaf

For those who have a breadmaker (in France, a MAP), it would be a real shame to go and buy industrial sandwich bread that sometimes contains 8 to 10 ingredients including preservatives (no surprise if you can still eat it two months after buying it).

So, shall we get the breadmaker down off the hallway shelf?

Sandwich loaf

Preparation

Buy organic flour

It would be a shame to make your own bread with a flour containing pesticides and insecticides… you might as well buy it from a bakery in that case, the baker being better at kneading than us or our breadmaker.

I recommend T65 for all your breads except sandwich loaf, where I use T45. You can use a less refined flour like T80 (except for the sandwich loaf)… Then again, if you have children, they might find the bread too coarse. We wouldn’t want to put them off organic :))

There’s plenty of local organic flour in supermarkets and farm shops. There are even co-ops, like Pain Virgule, that offer breads and flours.

  1. Step 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, the melted butter, the milk and the water.

    Put this mixture into the pan and add half the flour.

    Work in the salt, then the other half of the flour.

    Pour the yeast over the top.

    Start your breadmaker on the normal 1 kg programme. In 3 hrs, you’ll have a piping-hot loaf.
