My standard white bread for making one of my stuffings is no longer available (the bakery has closed). I have also used Pepperidge Farm white bread, but that's not sold around here anymore either. Does anyone have a white bread recipe, not too light or airy, or dense or chewy, that would be a good substitute? I'm might try Reinhart's Buttermilk White Bread from the BBA and his White Sandwich Bread from Crust & Crumb. I haven't made a white sandwich loaf before. Any other ideas? I'm looking for a good flavorful "farmhouse" white loaf with good structure, but soft. Pepperidge Farm texture, but better flavor.
I'd suggest a Challah bread. The egg in the Challah formula will help it to stand up against the liquid typically used in stuffing preparations.
PR's The Breadbakers Apprentice has a formula for a nice Challah or you might want to try one of these:

I was making challah anyway this weekend (the recipe from Crust and Crumb), but thought it might be too rich for the stuffing, but I might as well give it a try. I'll just make extra dough for the stuffing and bake it in a loaf pan.
