Homemade White Bread – A soft and fluffy, chewy and tender, perfectly delicious, basic bread recipe. A comforting classic that’s perfect warm with butter, used for a homestyle sandwich, or served up as morning toast with jam.
To me making bread is a total stress reliever. Just taking a moment to set all things aside and just spending a few minutes preparing bread dough, watching it seamlessly rise then enjoying the fresh scent of the hot bread steaming through the oven vents.
As long as we can remember, bread has been at the table and homemade bread just has a way of taking us back home.
One Hour Bread
My grandparents always made the best homemade bread and I’m hoping to pass that tradition on for my kids and grandkids to enjoy.

World's Easiest Yeast Bread Recipe
As a side note, if you are having trouble finding yeast right now and are craving bread you can try Irish Soda Bread or Beer Bread. Or try my Buttermilk Biscuits. No yeast required!
If you have an instant read thermometer (which is recommend for testing liquid temps used in the recipe) you can test center of loaf for doneness. For this type of bread it should be 195 degrees Fahrenheit in center.
Yes. If you don’t own an electric stand mixer this white bread can also be done the old fashioned way – just by using a mixing bowl and a wooden spoon. Mix in as much flour as you can with the spoon then as it starts to get heavy, knead in the remaining flour by hand.
One Loaf White Bread Recipe
Yes. If you want two loaves of bread you can double the recipe, if you have a larger mixer to fit the capacity.
If you want a hit of tang you can replace milk with buttermilk. Bring to room temp by heating on 20% power in the microwave just until lightly warm, not 110 degrees. Don’t overheat or it will curdle.
Dry milk will work great too, just use 1/4 cup mixed with 3/4 cup water in place of the 3/4 cup milk. Or use 3 Tbsp buttermilk powder.

In order for this french bread recipe to turn out correctly, it's important that the flour is measured out accurately. In fact, this is important for all baked goods. Whenever a reader asks me why something doesn't turn out right, whether it's my mini pound cake recipe or my oatmeal cookies recipe, the first question I ask is, How did you measure the flour?
Homemade Bread (white Bread Recipe)
Weighing ingredients is by far the most accurate way to measure flour, but it isn't a common practice here in the U.S.
A digital scale is useful for measuring and weighing flour as well as sugar. If you don't have a scale, you can still measure flour accurately. Here's what you do:
Use a spoon to stir the flour inside the container. You want to loosen it up in case it's packed tightly inside.

And that's it! For this mini french bread recipe, 10-ounces of flour is 2 ¼ cups (285 grams) measured the way I described above.
You can knead the bread dough by hand or in a stand mixer. Using a stand mixer is much easier but kneading by hand can be a very gratifying and meditative process. Another benefit to using a mixer is because bread dough can be messy, and many home cooks tend to add more flour which can add up and compromise the texture of the bread. In the end, you can make a very good loaf of bread either way.
After mixing the ingredients, transfer the shaggy dough to a lightly floured counter or large cutting board and shape it into a ball.
Easy Homemade Sandwich Bread
Lightly sprinkle the dough with flour as needed if the dough becomes too sticky. Continue folding and pressing the dough and after about 3 minutes, the dough should begin to look smooth.
As you continue to fold and press the dough, it will become more smooth and elastic. This entire process should take 15-20 minutes

To make yeast bread recipes rise fast you can preheat your oven set at any temperature for about 45 seconds. Turn your oven off and place some sort of baking dish with boiling water in it inside the oven. Then place your mixing bowl of dough, covered with a dish towel in your oven. It will be warm and steamy causing your dough to rise faster.
Store your cooled bread wrapped with plastic wrap or in a large ziploc type bag. It will be good for about 3 days.
If you substitute wheat flour for all the white flour you'll end up with a loaf of bread like a brick. Please click over to my Homemade Wheat Bread recipe to make a wheat version of this bread! It's soft, light and fluffy too!
