Low-Salt White Bread bakes up softly tender with a hint of sweetness and a fine, balanced crumb that’s ideal for sandwiches or toast. The mild salt keeps the flavor gentle while letting the wheat and yeast notes shine. Serve warm from the rack or sliced for everyday lunches and breakfast.

Low-Salt White Bread
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine 3-1/2 cups of the flour, the sugar, salt, oil, and yeast. Add warm water. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, scraping the bowl often. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, scraping the bowl often. Stir in enough of the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, until the dough is easy to handle.

  2. 2

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl and turn it so the greased side is up. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 to 50 minutes or until doubled. (The dough is ready if an indentation remains when touched.) If you lack a warm, draft-free spot, placing the covered bowl on a rack in the oven above a pan of warm water works well.

  3. 3

    Grease 2 loaf pans, either 9x5x3 inches or 8-1/2x4-1/2x2-1/2 inches. Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape each half into a loaf and place in the pans. If desired, brush the loaves lightly with margarine. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 35 to 40 minutes or until doubled.

  4. 4

    Position the oven rack low so the tops of the pans will be centered in the oven. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the loaves are deep golden brown and sound hollow when tapped; remove from the pans. If desired, brush the loaves with margarine. Cool on a wire rack.
