Batter White Bread

Breakfast 🍳Side Dish 🥗Dinner 🍽️Lunch 🥪Snack 🍿 American

Batter White Bread bakes up soft and tender with a fine, even crumb and a lightly golden crust. It’s a no-knead yeast loaf that relies on a vigorous mix and a couple of rises for airy texture, perfect for toast, sandwiches, or warm slices with butter. Ideal for weekend baking or anytime you want fresh, homemade bread without the kneading.

Batter White Bread
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups sifted flour, warm water, shortening, sugar, salt, and yeast; beat by hand for 300 strokes or with an electric mixer for 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 3/4 cups sifted flour, scraping the bowl often, until the dough is smooth. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Gently punch the dough down; it will be sticky. Spoon it into the prepared loaf pan, patting it down and shaping it with floured hands. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Uncover the dough and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven and set on a cooling rack. Brush melted butter over the top and let cool.
