COUNTRY WHITE BREAD
This is the type of loaf to make using the Delay Timer since it contains nonfat dry milk
rather than fresh milk. The dry milk will not foster any harmful bacteria as it sits.
Available as a powder made from whole or skim milk, I always use the skim, or nonfat,
dry milk; nonfat has about 1 percent fat, while whole has about 27 percent fat. Nonfat
also keeps longer. All types of dry milk have a marked increase in milk sugar, and the
yeast love it. It is not necessary to dissolve the dry milk in the liquid ingredients before
adding it; the powder will mix in fine when added with the dry ingredients. If you have
lumps in your milk powder, be sure to break them up before adding it or they will stay
intact throughout the mixing and baking and you’ll have powdered milk lumps in your
finished loaf.
