Sourdough Sandwich Bread

For your BEST tomato sandwich. [logo]( Bake of the Week Sourdough Sandwich Bread [hero]( David Tamarkin Editorial Director Summer is the beginning of sandwich loaf season. Well, it is for me, anyway. In the winter I'm a crusty boule kind of guy, baking off two loaves of [Pain de Campagne]( every week. But in the summer, I crave a different kind of bread: I want soft loaves with tight crumbs that can hold up to schmears of strawberry jam, or layers of juicy tomatoes. And if I'm being honest, I want breads that bake at a lower temperature — in these days of record-breaking heat, who wants to turn their oven up to 500˚F? So I have no problem walking away from boules for a bit. I do, however, get nervous when I go too long without saying hi to my sourdough starter. (What can I say? We've grown so close over the years!) Thus I find myself turning to the Bake of the Week: [Sourdough Sandwich Bread](. This recipe has everything you want in a sandwich bread: [King Arthur Bread Flour]( makes it soft and fluffy, and thanks to our [Baker's Special Dry Milk]( and half a stick of butter, it's also a little rich. And though the sourdough is there primarily to make the bread rise, it also adds a little tang. A better loaf for PB&Js doesn't exist. But who are we kidding? There's only one thing to do with a loaf like this in August: lightly toast a slice, slather it with mayo, and put your juiciest tomatoes on top. Salt and pepper are all you need to finish it, though if you [read the reviews]( of this recipe you'll see that some Southerners add a slice of Vidalia onion, too. So you see, there are no rules, except for one: start with homemade sandwich bread. From there, the perfect summer sandwich is up to you.
