Mix all ingredients in Mixer. So it does not stick to your hands ..cleans\the bowl. Cover warm place rise for 2 hours.

Place dough on floured counter and flatten with hands and fold, roll,
and cover and let bench rest 10 minutes. Flatten with fingers and shape
into a loaf. Vessel of your choice. I used a 9 x 5 tin covered warm place
and let rise for 1 hour (came to top of tin) Baked 400 degree oven 30 mins. Brushed butter on top. On rack to cool.

I wanted two loaves, I do NOT like doubling recipe....ratios etc. I mixed
one loaf and then mixed the other. View attachment 2178264

They look good!

My yeast loaf bread recipe is adjustable base on the cups of water added. One cup equals a loaf of bread. Growing up we used the same basic recipe to make 6 Loaves at a time.

Ron, If I wanted to make 2 loaves: I would add one cup of water and
just double all other? I was so unsure...so I just mixed one loaf and then
mixed another. I would love to be able to double this recipe. HELP. Aria

That is pretty much true! Going to three loaves you do not need to use the equivalent of three packets of yeast though. You can use two packets then.

For the recipe you have for sourdough, I would add a cup of the starter for two loaves.

The flour should be close but it might need a bit more or less. Just go by stiffness when kneading the dough

I understand to make two loaves of this bread: Add 1 cup of water more,
double everything. Yes? I bake two loaves a week. One for our house,
and one I give to the neighbor family that gets our groceries. Aria

Your recipe calls for a cup and a quarter of water for one loaf. Adding a cup of water to double will work. You will need to see if the loaves are a size that you like when you bake them. It will likely use a bit less flour too.

I would do it to keep from making two single batches for sure

Ron, I think you are RIGHT...I will continue to make two single batches.
Since I need to gift one...I want it to be FINE...and the flour does not
go all over when mixing. 6 1/2 cups +...sometimes when you do not pre
mix a little...does pop out a bit. Thanks again, problem solved. Aria

@Aria add more water + more flour = more loaves
