I use an old recipe that I got from a Gold Medal Cookbook. I’ve found that after the first rise and it’s time for kneading that if you can knead it quite a bit you’ll get such a fine texture and to me it’s just better. I don’t do an eggwash or split the loaf, but right after I take it out of the oven I use a cold stick of real butter and rub it all over the top of each loaf. I’ve been baking bread for over 30 yrs. now and this recipe has never failed me.

Hi Sara, The result of the bread – the texture, crumb, etc. will be different with all-purpose flour. Bread flour has more protein and gluten, which gives it slightly different properties than all-purpose flour. You can still use AP, but just know that the results may vary.

Can I use all purpose flour for this?

Hi Jennifer, I’m sure you can, but I don’t own a bread machine. I would consult your machine’s instruction manual for how to do it.

Hi Hind, You can try subbing whole wheat flour; the texture and flavor will obviously be different but it should still come out well!

this bread is sort of like a brioche due to the addition of the egg. It didn’t come out as high as I would have liked, but it was tastey, which is always a goal.
