The ingredients for Best White Bread Ever are:

Milk, 2%, 1.25 cup
Fleischmann's Bread Machine Yeast, 2 tsp
Granulated Sugar, 3 tbsp
All-purpose Enriched Unbleached White Flour, 3 cup
Butter, salted, 3 tbsp (remove)
Vital wheat gluten, 2 tbsp
Kosher Salt, 1.25 tsp

Here is how you make Best White Bread Ever:

Warm the milk (takes about a minute in the microwave) and add to mixing bowl (I use my stand mixer with the dough hook). Add sugar and yeast. Melt the butter. Add the flour, the gluten, the melted butter, and the salt. Knead with dough hook until texture is silky and a little tacky, about 5 minutes. Form into a ball, replace in bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise 40 to 60 minutes, until doubled and a hole punched into it with a well-floured finger does not immediately spring back. Time will vary according to temperature, humidity and air pressure. Remove dough, gently press into a rectangle on the counter. Fold into thirds (from long side), gently press flat. Fold the ends inward until they just meet, and gently press flat again with your palms. Then fold in half and pinch the seam closed with your fingers, this should result in a log shape. Place into greased bread pan seam down (I use a 1.5 pound loaf pan, 9 x 5). Let rise until doubled, the top should be about an inch above the side of the pan. Cut three diagonal slits into the top with a *sharp* blade, then bake @ 375 for 30 minutes on the top rack in the middle of the oven, rotating 180 degrees at the 15 minute mark for even browning.
