White Samich Bread

"Samiches! Samiches! Dirty, rotten Samiches!"
Yum, right?
It's actually the wrong lyrics.
My younger brother Josh used to sing said lyrics while singing along to the "Pocahontas" movie. You know the part when the English men are trying to find and capture the Indians? The actual lyric is " Savages! Savages! Dirty, rotten Savages!"
We have a problem mixing up lyrics in my family. That's not really the embarrassing  part. The sad part is, we don't care. We just sing the song anyway. Never paying much attention to the fact that the words don't quite make sense. We are just content singing along with the words that we choose. It's creative lyric writing.
The cutest thing about baby Josh is that he has always said words wrong. He had a wittle bit of lisp. L's and R's were W's. He didn't care. Neither did we. It only made him that much cuter.
Ya think I could do that? Walk into a store now and speak like that and gain instant cute points? Errr... not so much. I think Josh could still pull it off.


White Samich Bread
Yields 2 loaves

Ingredients: 
2 cups Warm Tap Water
1 1/2 tbsp Dry Yeast 
2/3 cups Sugar, Use 1 tsp of sugar in the yeast mix
1 1/2 tsp Salt 
1/4 cups Vegetable Oil 
5 1/2 cups  All Purpose Flour 
Melted Butter, For Brushing The Top Of Finished Loaves, Optional

Directions:
Put water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a bowl, set aside for 10 minutes while yeast proofs.
Meanwhile pour the rest of the sugar as well as the salt, oil and flour into mixer bowl. When yeast proofs, add to other ingredients in mixer bowl and using a dough hook, mix for 8 minutes on 1 or 2 setting.
Pour into a large greased bowl and place in a warmed turned off oven for 1hour or until doubled in size. When through rising, punch dough down and divide the dough in half. Fold and shape dough into two loaves and place in two 9 x 4 greased loaf pans. Let rise for 30-45 minutes. Bake at 325 degrees for 35 minutes.
Turn out of pans onto a cooling rack and brush tops with butter. Test for doneness by thumping on bottom of loaf – it should sound hollow.
Cut off a piece and slather with soft butter. Mmmm... Try not to eat the whole first loaf in the same day.

Be kind and make your "lovee" a samich.
