I know it is hard to believe, but…….I misplaced my KitchenAid Stand Mixer for 6 years! I know, I know!!! We were going to move and packed a lot of our things away….moved them to a storage building and there they sat. Only the storage building is 4+ hours away and when I did visit, I never could find my long lost KitchenAid.
Last year, I found it!!! I was ecstatic! Whoopie! Woot Woot! Happy Dance and more that I’ll spare you the details of. This White Bread (which is perfect for sandwiches or your favorite soups and stews) is the first thing I made with my KitchenAid once it was back home…where she rightfully belongs, never to part again. She is well over 20 years old and is still mixin’ along, although a little worse from sitting idle all those years.

- 2 tablespoons dry active yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 6 to 6 1/2 cups bread flour
Stir sugar and yeast in warm milk and let sit 5-10 minutes or until foamy. Use dough hook to mix and knead. Add salt, butter and flour, mixing 1 cup at a time up to 6 cups, until flour is incorporated. Add flour 1 Tablespoon at a time if needed. Knead for 10 minutes or until a smooth ball forms. Cover and let sit until doubled. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
