Lightly coat two 9-inch loaf pans with cooking
spray. Punch dough and divide into 2 equal
portions. Shape into loaves and place in
prepared pans. Cover and let rise until nearly
doubled, about 30 to 45 minutes.
While bread is rising, preheat oven to 375°F.
Bake loaves until bread is browned and sounds
hollow when tapped, about 35 to 40 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool on wire rack until
cool to touch; remove from pans and allow to
cool completely before slicing.

Buttery Dinner Rolls
The classic dinner roll we all remember from Sunday
or holiday dinners.
Makes 16 dinner rolls
¾ cup whole milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut
into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
¼ cup warm water (105°F to 110°F)
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
1 large egg
4 cups bread flour, plus additional for
dusting and rolling
Unsalted butter for greasing pan
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Scald milk (heat until just bubbling around
edges – may be done in microwave). Stir in
unsalted butter, salt and 3 tablespoons of
sugar. Let cool until just warm (105°F to 110°F).
Stir together the warm water, remaining
tablespoon of sugar and yeast in the Cuisinart
®
mixing bowl. Attach the dough hook and let
stand until the mixture is foamy and bubbly,
about 5 to 10 minutes.
While the yeast is proofing, measure out the
bread flour in a separate mixing bowl.
Once the yeast is foamy and the milk mixture
is at the appropriate temperature, add the milk
mixture, egg and flour and turn the mixer on to
Speed 3 until dough comes together as a
ball and cleans the side of the bowl.
Once dough ball forms, continue to knead on
Speed 3 for about 4 to 5 minutes. Dough
should be smooth. If sticky, add 1 tablespoon
of flour at a time until smooth. Alternatively, if
the dough seems too dry, add 1 tablespoon of
water at a time.
Cover bowl and let rise in a warm, draft-free
place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter a 9-inch
round baking pan. Divide the dough into 16
equal pieces (about 2¼ ounces each). Roll into
balls and arrange in the prepared pan. Cover
with plastic wrap and let rise until about
doubled, about 30 to 45 minutes.
Combine remaining tablespoon of milk and
butter and heat until butter is melted. Just
before baking, gently brush rolls with melted
butter and milk. Bake until golden brown, about
25 to 30 minutes (internal temperature of rolls
will be 200°F when tested with an instant-read
thermometer).
Remove from oven and cool on wire rack until
cool to touch; remove from pan and allow to
cool completely.
