Buttertop White Bread Loaves

2 packages active dry yeast

1/2 cup lukewarm water (95-100°)

2 1/2 cups buttermilk, warmed (95-100°)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

7 cups bread flour, more if necessary

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened plus 3 Tablespoons, melted

2 teaspoons salt

Adjust oven rack to position 2. Preheat oven to Standard Bake at 100°. In a large mixer with dough hook attachment, combine warm water and yeast. Mix lightly and let sit until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Stir in buttermilk and sugar. Turn mixer on low to mix. Add bread flour 1 cup at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add 3 Tablespoons softened butter and salt. Knead in the mixer for 7-8 minutes, or turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead by hand for 10 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl, lightly oil the top of the dough and cover. Let rise in oven for at least 1 hour or until doubled in size. Remove dough. Punch down dough and place on a floured surface. Divide dough in half. Roll half of the dough with a rolling pin into an 8 x 10 x 1” rectangle. Roll dough from the 8” side lengthwise, as if making a jellyroll, until a loaf forms. Press to release air bubbles and pinch edges to seal. Repeat with other half of dough. Place loaves seam side down in two greased 9 x 5” loaf pans. Cut a slit down the center of both doughs lengthwise on top. Pour about 1 1/2 Tablespoons melted butter in the slit. Repeat with other loaf. Cover with plastic wrap and proof again for about 30 minutes in oven. Remove loaves and preheat oven on Convection Bake to 350°. Bake until loaves rise and brown, and bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, about 30 minutes.

After Baking: Remove from loaf pan and cool on baking rack- this will prevent the bottom from becoming soggy. Let cool and slice.

Makes 2 loaves.

Range Cooking specifications

Dacor, a renowned name in luxury kitchen appliances, has redefined the art of cooking with its innovative range of cooking products. Designed for both culinary enthusiasts and professional chefs, Dacor ranges blend advanced technology with elegant aesthetics, offering a cooking experience that is both versatile and enjoyable.

One of the standout features of Dacor ranges is their precision cooking capabilities. Many models are equipped with Dual-Stacked Burners, which allow for precise heat control from a gentle simmer to a high sear. This versatility helps home chefs create a wide range of dishes with ease. The burners are designed to deliver uniform heat distribution, ensuring that every meal is cooked to perfection.

Dacor’s commitment to innovation is evident in its use of the latest cooking technologies. For instance, the addition of the Dacor’s exclusive "True European Convection" feature in its ovens guarantees even baking results. This technology utilizes a fan in conjunction with the heating elements to circulate hot air, reducing cooking times and enhancing flavor development. This is particularly beneficial for baking, where even heat is crucial.

Another notable feature is Dacor’s sophisticated built-in Sous Vide function, allowing cooks to prepare foods at precisely controlled temperatures for hours. This method locks in flavors, nutrients, and offers an incredible level of tenderness, making it a favorite among gourmet home cooks.

The design of Dacor ranges is equally impressive. Crafted with high-quality materials, the appliances boast a sleek, modern look that integrates seamlessly with upscale kitchen designs. The intuitive controls, often equipped with touch-screen technology, provide a user-friendly experience. Whether one is a novice or an expert in the kitchen, operating a Dacor range feels natural and straightforward.

Additionally, many Dacor ranges come equipped with smart technology, allowing users to monitor and control their cooking through a smartphone app. This feature enables cooks to start preheating their ovens remotely or receive alerts when their dish is ready, adding an element of convenience to meal preparation.

Safety is also a key priority in Dacor designs. Features such as automatic shut-off, cool-to-touch surfaces, and child locks ensure that cooking becomes not only a delightful experience but a safe one too.

In sum, Dacor ranges blend luxury with functionality. Their innovative technologies, such as Dual-Stacked Burners, True European Convection, Sous Vide cooking, and smart capabilities make them a standout choice for anyone serious about cooking. Coupled with elegant design and safety features, Dacor continues to elevate the culinary experience, making each meal an opportunity for creativity and enjoyment.
