Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve the yeast in warm water or use powdered milk with warm water as an alternative.
- Combine the flour, salt, sugar, and the dissolved yeast in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the scalded milk (or powdered milk mixture) and beaten eggs to the dry ingredients.
- Mix thoroughly until a smooth dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf.
- Place the loaf in a greased bread pan or on a baking sheet.
- Let the dough rise again until nearly doubled, about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of scalded milk. If you prefer a slightly sweeter bread, you can add an extra tablespoon of sugar. Make sure to knead the dough adequately; this helps develop gluten for a better texture. If you have leftover bread, try making French toast with it for a delightful breakfast treat.
Serving Suggestions
This bread is perfect for toasting and serving with butter or jam. It pairs beautifully with Creamy Macaroni And Cheese for a comforting meal. You can also slice it for sandwiches or serve it alongside soups and salads. For a sweet treat, try it with a spread of chocolate hazelnut spread or use it to make a decadent sandwich with Grandma Omie'S Chocolate Chip Cookies on the side.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Tupperware Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for up to three months. To reheat, simply thaw at room temperature and warm in the oven for about 10 minutes to restore its freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can use instant yeast. Simply add it directly to the dry ingredients without dissolving it first. The rising times may vary slightly, so keep an eye on the dough during the rising stages.
What can I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, it could be due to inactive yeast or a cold environment. Ensure your yeast is fresh and active by testing it in warm water with a bit of sugar before use. If it's cold, try placing the dough in a warmer area, like near a preheated oven.
Can I add herbs or spices to this bread?
Absolutely! You can incorporate herbs like rosemary or spices such as garlic powder to enhance the flavor of the bread. Add about 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen ingredient to the dry mixture for a delicious twist.
