Beautiful Artisan loaves are all well and good, but sometimes you just want a sandwich. This soft white bread is perfect for that.

I know, you have 4 bags of flour, and aren’t exactly sure what your end plan was. We tackled an easy artisan loaf last week. Now it’s time to make some simple sandwiches. The kids will love this one. And really, it’s pretty easy, and follows almost the same instructions as the Artisan Loaf.
