Just baked two sandwich bread loaves today — so happy with how they turned out!
• Doubled the recipe (~820g dough each)
• Baked at 350°F for 40 min
• Brushed with butter right out of the oven → shiny soft crust 😍
Recipe (1 loaf, ~820g dough):
• 174 g water
• 125 g whole milk
• 9 g yeast
• 440 g bread flour
• 8 g salt
• 21 g sugar
• 42 g unsalted butter
What’s your favorite way to keep sandwich bread soft for 2–3 days? 🥖 Do you brush with milk, butter, or just rely on storing it in plastic once cooled?

This looks soooooo good
Ooo so soft looking
It looks incredible. My first attempt was not this good.
Mine keeps splitting too much to my liking along the sides
Beautiful!
Congratulations! Bread-making is such fun!
They’re gorgeous! I resign myself to enjoying the first 2 or 3 days (in an airtight container) then they go into the fridge or freezer for toasting
They look almost picturesque, well done OP!
Wow. I am so … jelly would be good on that! Seriously, they are gorgeous
I bought the [beeswax wrap](https://a.co/d/gn3aBkW) on Amazon and it keeps my bread soft for that long. You will lose that beautiful shape though, from the nature of wrapping and re-wrapping the bread.
Your loaves look great! If you want to keep your bread soft for an extended period you might look into the [tangzhong method](https://youtu.be/9mTbqmvoCvk?si=7WCTqySygMkhRZDR), it will help your bread stay soft and fresh longer.
Beautiful loaves. Loving the rise on these.
