Bread and Granola rescipe!

Good Morning From my house!!!
Well my little kidos are still asleep this morning, so i have time to make a post!! I had been taking my commputer time after the children were in bed for the night, but my dear husband also wantd my time in the eveings, so now I changed my cuommputer time to the morning, and it works better for all of us!!
Yesterday was very beutiful here and warm! It was 79F for awalie! We did some planting in the garden. We set out some tomatoes, and planted corn. Our garden is really wet from the last rain we had here, so my husband was unable to til it up so we could plant more just then. Our garden is in a very low area and really holds the water.
Also yesterday I baked some bread and make a batch of grannola. This bread rescipe i came upon acouple months ago and just love it!! It turns out so soft and easy to silce, great for sandwhiches and toast! My other rescipe I was using would crubmle and tear easily while cutting. But i know i just had to be doing somthing wrong ,because it was the one my mom has used for many years. Any way heres the bread rescipe I use now!
American Sanwhich Bread
1 cup whole milk, warm
1/3 cup water, warm
3 tbl. honey
4 tbl. unsalted stick butter,melted and cooled
3 3/4 cups flour, plus extra for the counter ( I use part whole weat flour)
I envelope ( 2 1/4 tsp. ) rabip rise yeast
2 tsp salt
Wisk the milk, water, honey, and butter, together. In sperate large bowl mix together the flour, yeast and salt, add to milk mixture, and stir with rubber spatula till the dough comes together and looks shaggy. Turn the dough on to clean counter and kneed by hand to from a smooth ball about 10 to 15 min., adding a little more flour as needed so it wont stick to the counter. Transfer back to bowl and cover towel, and let rise about 1 hour till double in bulk. To make loaf , put dough out on floured counter and press dough out into 9in square. then roll up tightly, and press together along seams. Then place in greased and floured bread pan, cover with towel and let rise again about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degreesF. Befroe placing in oven brush top of loaf with melted butter. As you place your loaf of bread in the oven also place a bread pan beside it with boling water in it. Bake about 40 min. or untill nicly browned. Cool atleats 2 hours befroe cutting. You will love this bread!! It has a wonderful texture!!
