Description
I played around with basic white bread recipes quite a bit and finally have come up with the perfect soft, fluffy, white bread with air pockets. Maybe a little too soft to slice right away. But if you let it cool a bit, it shouldn’t be a problem. Toasted with a little butter and jam, it is a slice of heaven!
