milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining moisture.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for a dairy-free option.

Combine warm water and warm milk both at 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add 1 7-gram package of yeast and a large pinch of sugar; whisk together and let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.

Add the rest of the sugar, soft butter, salt, and bread flour to the yeast mixture; stir until combined.

Knead the dough by hand on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour for rapid rise yeast, 2 hours for active dry yeast).

Gently press the air out of the risen dough and divide it into two equal pieces.

Shape each piece of dough into a loaf by folding and sealing the edges, then place in a greased loaf pan.

Cover the shaped loaves and let them rise again until doubled in size (about 1 hour for rapid rise yeast, 2 hours for active dry yeast).

Brush the tops with an egg wash (1 egg whisked with about 1 tablespoon of water) if desired.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown and baked through.

Let the loaves cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing.
