Ray's White Bread

Disclaimer:

no whole wheat here.

Mine is a very healthy home for the most part. I try to use and consume whole grains and vegetables wherever I can. However, Ray is very particular about the kind of bread he likes:
not whole wheat.

No whole wheat and no embellishment; he prefers fluffy, fresh, plain white bread.
Despite being simplicity itself, there are infinite versions to choose from. I have a short list of white bread recipes that I make for him, and this is the most recent.

This bread is for the person in your life with similar preferences.
It's made like a French bread and gets tenderness and flavor from some milk and butter.
Ray likes to slice off a chunk and warm it with butter, or as a tuna sandwich for lunch.
