Everyday Sandwich Loaf with Grilled Toast Slices

A tall, square-shouldered loaf with a thin floury crust and a fine, even crumb that slices cleanly for sandwiches. A little oat and whole wheat flour add gentle nuttiness. Press slices on a hot grill pan for striped toast that is crisp outside and soft inside, perfect with butter or avocado.

Method 6 steps

  1. Mix all the ingredients and knead 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and springy.

  2. Cover and rise 1 hour until doubled.

  3. Press into a rectangle, roll up tightly into a log and place seam side down in an oiled 9 by 5-inch loaf pan; dust the top with flour.

  4. Proof 45 minutes until the dough rises about 1 inch above the rim, and preheat the oven to 375 F.

  5. Bake 35 to 40 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped; cool completely on a rack.

  6. For toast, brush thick slices with olive oil and press on a very hot ridged grill pan for 2 minutes per side until well marked.
