Tuesdays with Dorie- White Bread

The first recipe on my culinary adventure was White Bread!  I was a little apprehensive at first, but once I pulled those two little buns out of the oven I knew I was hooked. Fresh bread is like nothing I've ever tasted, and the smells coming out of that oven are almost as good as the taste.

I made the recipe with my boss at the bakery. The recipe said you could either use bread flour or all purpose.  For this recipe we agreed to try both. I used bread and she used AP.  We went home made our bread and then came back the next day to compare.
Bread flour resulted in a softer bread, equatable to sandwich bread, and it rose a little higher.
AP flour resulted in a bread that was a little more dense (kind of like a sourdough), and a little less height.

Both breads were delicious!
