Hi, I'm looking for a good bread recipe that makes a loaf that does not crumble when sliced (more like the consistency you find in store bought bread). I have one that I like for buns (since you don't need to slice them) but I'm not thrilled with the results for a loaf. I've changed the water to milk and that does make a more firm loaf but it's still crumbly.

Do you have a mixer to do the kneading or are you doing it by hand?

This is the one I use. I am not sure of the origin so I cannot give credit. I had an in home bakery and always sold out, I think is holds its shape nice when sliced. this makes two loaves of white bread. 1 pack of dry yeast or 2 and 1/4 tsp of dry bulk yeast 2 and 1/4 cup of warm water 3 tablespoons of sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 6 to 6 and 1/4 cup flour. you probably know the steps but here they are: place the warm water in a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast over the top I use a wooden spoon to stir gently add the sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups of flour. beat until smooth with a wooden spoon. add the remaining flour stir to combine turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth place in a greased bowl turn over in the bowl cover and allow to rise until dubled in size about 1 to 1/2 hours punch down place on floured surface, cut into two I then roll mine out like I was making a cinnamon roll, a rectangle but roll it up from the short side, if you want to add cinnamon and sugar you can to make cinnamon loaf. tuck the ends under and place into a loaf pan. rub melted butter on the top and low to rise until doubled about 30 - 45 minutes bake at 375 for 30 to 35 minutes sounds hollow when tapped
