This recipe creates a delightful sub-style sandwich bread with a touch of honey for added sweetness and a soft texture.
Add the warm water, egg, bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the yeast does not directly touch the salt to avoid inhibiting its activity.
Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and let it process the ingredients.
Check the dough after a few minutes of mixing to ensure it forms a smooth ball; add water or flour as needed.
Once the cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a floured surface.
Use a light dusting of flour to prevent sticking without altering the dough's consistency.
Divide the dough into six equal portions and shape each into a long loaf.
Use a kitchen scale for even portions if desired.
Place the loaves on a greased baking sheet, cover them, and let them rise for 20 to 30 minutes.
Cover the loaves with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out during rising.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
Bake the loaves for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Tap the bottom of a loaf; a hollow sound indicates it's fully baked.
Brush the warm loaves with honey for a glossy finish and added sweetness.
Apply the honey while the bread is still warm for better absorption.
Allow the loaves to cool before serving. Enjoy your homemade bread!
Cool the bread on a wire rack to prevent sogginess.
