white chocolate bread

First of all, let me say, YUM!

I've been wanting to try out this bread recipe since I first saw it about a month ago. And let me tell you - it's divine! I've practically eating half a loaf myself and it's only been out of the oven for an hour. :D

This recipe is incredibly easy and I promise you can't mess it up. It only took about an hour and I finally got to break in my stand mixer! What a thrilling event. And it's so scrumptious. Husband says it's decadent and he's currently distracted by his new Nerf gun.

Anyway, on to the recipe. (I made a half recipe). Let me know how you like it. Enjoy!

1 teaspoon yeast


1 tablespoon wheat gluten


2 teaspoons salt
