Real Men Bake Bread PART 3

I made a white(top middle), a wheat(top left), and some free form table bread that I always make(top right).  I don't know how I timed it all, but it happened... The perfect white sandwich bread.  I'm almost there. The first rise was fast.  The second rise was fast enough, and I had to keep an eye on it so it wouldn't go crazy in the bread pan.  It would have looked like a giant rectangular muffin had I ignored it.  It was fluffy- like rabbits and shit.  The crumb wasn't as tight as I wanted but it held together just fine and tasted wonderful!

Everyday eating indeed!

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients

1/2 cup water at 110 degrees
1/2 cup warm milk
1/8 cup melted butter
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. instant yeast
1/4 cup wheat bran
1 tsp. sea salt
Approx. 3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon of Vital Wheat Gluten

Mix ingredients.  Knead.  Let rise until doubled.  Punch dough down and form loaf in loaf pan.  Let rise until desired height.  Cook for 30 minutes at 375 degrees.  BAM.

My other loaf was a whole wheat loaf.  Shorter, dense, and not my favorite.  I don't recommend.  I just threw a bunch of ingredients together and hoped it would be wonderful.  It wasn't.  I won't post the recipe but I will post a picture.  It's totally edible, and yummy, but not for sandwiches.
