Oster Bread Machine Bread Recipe

There are many bread machine recipes out there, but if you're looking for just basic and simple homemade white bread - this is the perfect recipe for you!

This is my reliable, boring, proven recipe for a basic white bread. And, I also provide tips on how to make a homemade white bread less dense in a bread maker. In this recipe, all you do is spend 5 minutes to add ingredients to the bread pan and the bread machine does all the work, on an automatic cycle that is already programmed. That's the whole purpose of the bread maker, right? The end result is a tasty loaf of white bread just of the right density.

I do believe that the day will come when I will use a bread machine for something more sophisticated, but for once this week I am sharing the recipe that doesn't require too much thinking or meddling. Sometimes it's just nice to make certain foods almost on auto-pilot, especially for basic stuff, like white bread.

In the last 3 months I hardly bought any store-made bread, baking about a loaf every week at home, using bread machine recipes. And, I've noticed a couple of trends/issues when making bread: sometimes the bread comes out way too dense, or the loaf does not rise enough and, as a result, comes out even denser. So, here I will describe the homemade bread recipe that works for me to produce a less dense bread in a bread maker, using a basic cycle.

When you measure flour using cups, make sure not to pack flour too dense in a measuring cup, otherwise you will end up with much more flour than you need, and, therefore, the bread will come out denser. Measuring flour correctly will solve a lot of dense issues. The trick that works for me is that I use ⅓ measuring cup to carefully scoop all flour I need into the bread machine (usually about 3 cups), without over-packing it. Another way would be to weigh flour, which I don't do, but it's a solution.

Use bread flour, not regular all-purpose flour for all bread machine recipes. Bread flour contains a higher percentage of gluten than regular all-purpose flour. Using bread flour will produce taller, less dense loaves. If you use all-purpose flour (which has smaller percentage of gluten than bread flour), your loaves will be flatter and denser.

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

When adding yeast, make sure you add it last, and add it on top of dry ingredients (flour). Make sure the yeast does not reach wet ingredients. Basically, make a small indentation on top of flour and add the yeast to the indentation, just like this:

And here is the simple white bread recipe. I started with the recipe that came in a little booklet together with my Williams-Sonoma bread machine, and I tweaked the ingredient measurements based on my preferences. It takes 10 minutes to prepare all ingredients together, and then it takes 3 hours and 15 minutes to bake the bread in a bread machine.

I've tried many bread machine recipes, and this one works perfectly for me to make simple white bread. The bread is tall, not dense, of perfect composition. Basic recipe for a bread maker machine.

A bread machine is a super useful kitchen appliance for those of us that enjoy a fresh, crusty loaf of bread, but don’t have the time to make it the traditional way by kneading and forming by hand.

With a bread maker, you just throw all the ingredients into the bread pan and pull out a perfect baked white loaf a couple of hours later. It doesn’t get better than this.

Growing up, this was one of our family’s most loved pieces of equipment in the kitchen, so naturally, the bread machine was the first thing I added to my wedding registry. If you have a bread-loving family, you’ll appreciate everything this machine has to offer, along with this recipe.

My bread machine bread recipe makes a beautiful 2-pound loaf of white bread. If you want a smaller loaf, simply cut the ingredients in half and choose the appropriate setting on your bread machine. Or, bake a 2 lb loaf, then freeze half of it until you need it, later.

You can enjoy homemade bread with pretty much anything. I’m betting the first time you make it, you’ll just want to rip it and eat it as soon as it comes out of the pan. We always have freshly baked bread in the house and consider ourselves expert bread eaters, so we’re talking from experience here, ha!

But, if you’d rather have a list, soups (like this Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup, or my family’s favoriteUkrainian Beet Soup or this classic tomato soup are all good choices), sandwiches (egg sandwich, or a tuna sandwich, anyone?) or canapés are all the best ways to go here.
