How To Make Basic White Bread Less Dense In A Bread Machine

It is very easy to shape the white dough in order to fit it into a 9 x 5 bread pan before baking your white bread in the oven. Moreover, it should take you only a couple of minutes to shape the proper dough “jelly roll” needed to create a nice bread loaf. Please watch this Youtube video by King Arthur Baking because it is a very good (& short) instructional video. It is focused on how to shape the dough in order to make a “sandwich” loaf in a bread pan.

You can add lots of different ingredients in order to change the flavor of your white bread. You can use butter instead of vegetable oil in order to add a more buttery flavor. You can add spices such as Italian seasoning and dried rosemary. You can add dried fruit such as dried cranberries in order to add sweetness & some fruit flavor. You can use buttermilk or whole milk instead of water. All you need to be is creative with your white bread and you can add lots of delicious new flavors.

Yes, you can make homemade white bread with all purpose flour. It will be a decent bread but it will not be as nice as a white bread made with bread flour. All purpose flour has less gluten than bread flour. Therefore, a white bread made with all purpose flour will be denser & less airy than a white bread made with bread flour. More gluten enables bread flour to trap more of the CO2 “bubbles” put out by the bread yeast. More trapped bubbles help to create softer & airer breads.

The Best Homemade White Bread

If your family can’t eat dairy products, you can easily replace the dairy ingredients in this white bread recipe with non-dairy substitutes. You can replace the milk with water, soy milk, almond milk, etc. You also can replace the butter with vegan butter or vegetable oil (i.e. canola oil or corn oil).

If you want to add a little extra favor to white bread, you can add a small amount of spices such as Italian seasoning, dried rosemary, dried pepper flakes, black pepper, etc.

Bread flour is the best flour to use when making white bread. It has more gluten than all purpose flour and more gluten results in an airier & softer bread. The extra gluten in bread flour helps to trap more of the CO2 put out by the yeast. Moreover, white breads made with all purpose flour tend to be a little denser (less air pockets) than white breads made with bread flour.
