The classic comfort combination of bread with gravy is global. Biscuits with gravy are served all over America now. In our home, the post – Thanksgiving hot turkey sandwich is an institution!  For many years I have strived to make the perfect bread.  One that is soft and absorbent, yet stands up to piles of turkey and gravy.

Here it is! 

I simply call it “Hot sandwich bread.”

Bread machine friendly!

In the baking pan of your bread machine:

1 cup warm water

1/4 cup regular olive oil

1/4 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

2 & 3/4 cups bread flour

1 teaspoon bread machine yeast (make a well in the flour for your yeast)

Set the machine to 1 & 1/2 pound loaf. Light crust! 

This makes a very soft loaf of bread, with a velvety texture. It holds up to gravy without disintegrating. 

Happy, happy home-making!
