Artificial Food Coloring Free Classic White Sandwich Bread

There is something deeply satisfying about pulling a golden, butter-brushed loaf out of the oven and knowing exactly what went into it. Store-bought sandwich bread is one of the sneakiest sources of synthetic dyes — certain brands use color additives to achieve that perfectly uniform golden crust or bright white crumb, and the ingredient lists can be surprisingly long. This loaf keeps things beautifully simple: whole milk, bread flour, honey, butter, yeast, and salt — nothing more, nothing less. The honey adds just a whisper of natural sweetness while helping the yeast bloom, and the softened butter worked into the dough gives every slice a tender, pillowy crumb that store bread genuinely cannot match. Brushing the top with melted butter straight out of the oven creates that gorgeous, glossy crust without a single artificial ingredient in sight. It slices cleanly, holds up to sandwiches, and toasts like a dream — the kind of everyday bread that makes you wonder why you ever bought the packaged stuff in the first place.
