How to Make Basic White Bread Kitchenaid
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter.
- Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm (approximately 100-110°F).
- In a separate warmed bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (105-115°F). Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the lukewarm milk mixture to the yeast mixture. Stir in 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
- Attach the dough hook to your KitchenAid mixer.
- Mix on speed 2 for 1 minute.
- Continuing on speed 2, gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough forms a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Knead on speed 2 for another 2 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a large greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
- Let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- **For Bierocks:** Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch circle.
- **For Bierocks:** Fill each circle with your favorite hamburger and cabbage filling. Pinch the edges together, folding the ends in to create a half-moon shape. Place on a greased baking sheet.
- **For Bierocks:** Brush with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water) and sprinkle with coarse ground pepper and salt.
- **For Bierocks:** Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- **For Loaf Bread:** Punch down the dough and divide it in half.
- Shape each half into a loaf and place in a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks.
