Ingredients

  • 4¼ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 (2¼ teaspoons) packet Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Instant Yeast
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter OR margarine

Directions

  1. Combine 1½ cups flour, dry yeast, sugar and salt in a large mixer bowl and stir until blended. Combine water, milk and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 15 second increments until very warm but not hot to the touch (120° to 130°F, butter does not need to melt). Add to flour mixture.
  2. Beat on medium speed of electric mixer until well mixed. Gradually add remaining 2¾ cups flour, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
  3. Cover with towel and let dough rest in bowl for 10 minutes. Stir batter down with spoon. Beat vigorously with a spoon for about 30 seconds. Pour dough into a greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Cover with towel; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
  4. Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

Tips

To make this bread into a round loaf, let it rise and bake on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan instead of a loaf pan.
