Description: This is a classic - plain white bread, but a world away from store bought. This loaf's light bodied texture makes it the standard for sandwich breads or the perfect accompaniment for meals. Bake it while you're still deciding what's for dinner; like most classics, its versatility lies in its simplicity.

Success Hints:

• • Classic White makes great low fat croutons. Lightly butter bread slices, cube, and bake at 350°F until crisp.

  • Classic White is the perfect bread for sampling the savory and sweet spreads on pages 142 - 143.

  • This recipe can be made with the regular, rapid, or delayed time bake cycles.
