I just found this. I am new to a forum. Just recently started baking homemade bread. Hope I am doing this right.
Quick question I make sandwich loaves that taste pretty good, but the crust is always pretty hard very unlike the store bought breads. Is there anyway to fix this. I cook 2 loaves at a time at 375 for about 20 minutes.

Hi New From GA
I usually apply a light coating of olive oil to my bread before baking-keeps the crust a little softer.
Hope this helps.
Hello from Woodstock
Welcome and good to see you here. Where about's in GA are you? There are at least a dozen Gerogians here so y'all fit rite in :-) (don't tell anyone, I'm a Yankee transplant) Have you been to the DeKalb Market? The Oil is a good tip, any butter in the loaf?

I was born and raised in West Virginia, live close to Augusta now though. Will try the oil next time.
Milk
When I want a soft crust, almost never, I put milk on it with a soft brush right after it comes out of the oven. Seems to work.
Is it possible to have store
Is it possible to have store bought sandwich bread type crust, or is it in the recipe I wonder. Even if not it is healthier than store bought about the same price if not cheaper, and pretty good bread. Going to go out on a limb and try some sour dough next week
