Sandwich Bread

Tata’s uncle, Elias Amar's wife, Laurice, gave this recipe to her.  I'm not sure why our grandmother would have a recipe for white sandwich bread, but I speculate that it's because the only bread that was available at the bakery was pita bread.  If you wanted something else, you'd have to make it yourself!

Makes 2 loaves or 24 buns.
  • 8 cups of flour
  • A pinch of salt
  • 5 tsp baking powder
  • 2 ½ cups butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups of yogurt
In a dough mixer, mix flour, salt, baking powder until well blended.  Add the butter until it's well incorporated and then add in the eggs.  Continue mixing. Lastly add the yogurt and mix then add yogurt and mix for about 5 minutes.  Line your baking tray(s) with parchment paper.  Shape the dough into whatever shapes you like (loaves or buns) and bake in oven at 350°F until it's a golden colour and rises (approx 20 minutes for buns, 30-40 minutes for loaves).
