Store Bought Bread

I enjoy mking bread.  I try all kinds of bread, white, wheat, oat, potato, egg.  My children eat the bread.  Some turn out better than others.  They let me know what kinds they like the best.  It's healthier for us.  I can grind the flour myself.  The problem I'm looking to solve is how to make homemade bread that doesn't overwhelm the sandwich.  My husband won't eat homemade bread.  He won't eat store bought whole wheat bread either.  I don't like to feed him store bought white bread.  And if he eats it, it's handy and the children eat it.  I'm looking for a recipe that is very soft, doesn't crumble or dry out, can be sliced very thin.  It doesn't have to be whole wheat.  I can use unbleached organic white flour.  Maybe a bread machine would make softer bread.  I'm going to look at rummage sales and see what I can find.  Any recipes would be appreciated.  (I love trying new recipes.)  Thanks for any advice.

Hi! If you add gluten to your home made bread it will be softer for longer. I add a half cup to my dough that makes four loaves. You can buy gluten at co-ops or health food stores. It isn't real expensive and will last forever if you buy in bulk. Hope this helps. Jennifer
