Sandwich Bread Recipe

Whip up your own fresh-baked tender & delicious sandwich bread with just a few simple steps and 15 minutes of prep time.

Nothing beats homemade bread, and whether you eat it plain or use it in a recipe, you can’t deny it beats store bought bread. We love to use this when making our classic Grilled Cheese, Croque Monsieur, and Monte Cristo Sandwiches.

It may require just a bit of extra effort and a little more time, but the end result is worth it. It’s perfect for sandwiches or as an accompaniment to any of your favorite soups.

This is a great recipe to get the kids involved with as well. It is actually pretty soothing and therapeutic kneading and preparing fresh bread.

So go ahead and get all of your senses involved and whip up a loaf of two to enjoy! You will definitely be grateful if you make a few at once. 😉

DOUGH. Add the flour, milk, butter, hot water, sugar, salt, and yeast to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until the dough starts to come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl, adding additional flour as needed to make a smooth dough. Transfer the dough to a greased or lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and pliable.

RISE. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1-2 hours. Gently punch the dough down and roll it out into a 9 x 13 rectangle. Roll up the dough into a log starting on the shorter side. Place the dough in a greased bread pan seam side down, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

BAKE. Toward the end of the rise time, preheat the oven to 350. After the dough has risen, bake 30-35 minutes, until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a rack before slicing and serving.

Note. This bread has a really great texture and is perfect for sandwiches. I used the lower amount of water and still had to add a little extra flour to make it less sticky, but it’s very humid where I live.

You can use this recipe to make your favorite sandwiches like classic Peanut Butter & Jelly or Ham and Cheese. Here are some other great sandwich recipes:

Flour:I used all purpose flour to make this recipe however, you can easily use bread flour if you have some on hand. Bread flour has added gluten in it which aids in giving bread a more chewy texture.

Measuring flour:when baking you generally spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then level it off. The total amount of flour that you use may vary depending on the elevation and even weather.

Kneading: Though it is not labeled, kneading happens in step two. The dough will pull away from the sides of the bowl and become smooth and elastic. If you are using kitchen aid use the dough hook attachment. You can also knead by hand on a floured surface.

Speed up rise time: Rise time is also known as proofing. This bread will need to be proofed twice. This can easily take 2+ hours depending on how warm your kitchen is. I will often use a warm oven to proof the dough faster.

Allow the bread to cool and STORE it in a plastic bag at room temperature for up to 1 week. Homemade Sandwich Bread will not last as long as store bought bread so you can freeze it for longer storage. Wrap the loaf with plastic and then again with foil then store it in the freezer. It will last for up to 6 months.

Tip:pre-slice the bread before freezing. That way you can remove the amount of slices you are going to use and keep the rest in the freezer.

Easy Homemade Sandwich Bread

My new cookbook is the ultimate resource for feeding your friends and family with 200+ simple recipes including videos, tips & more!With step-by-step pictures, a full video tutorial, and plenty of helpful tips, learn how to make simple white sandwich bread using a few baking ingredients like flour, water, yeast, salt, and milk. Bread flour promises a super soft interior with an extra chewy crust. This recipe yields 1 loaf, so it’s perfect if you only have 1 loaf pan.

Let’s make homemade sandwich bread. This is a basic staple in any bread baker’s repertoire, but it’s also a recipe that shouldn’t be overlooked. There’s nothing on earth quite like homemade bread and my recipe is loaf perfection—rising tall, tasting buttery-soft, and making the most epic sandwiches. It’s truthfully the best homemade bread I’ve ever tasted and it all comes from just 7 ingredients. And if you’re nervous to bake with yeast, I guarantee you will finally feel confident with this no-fuss recipe.

Besides the simplicity of the process, you’ll appreciate that this sandwich bread recipe yields just 1 loaf. You don’t need a crazy amount of flour, multiple loaf pans, and you’re not left with 2-3 leftover loaves on your hands. (Which wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing.) Just 1 loaf to prepare, rise, shape, and bake—convenient, approachable, and straightforward. My recipes for multigrain bread and honey oat bread both produce just 1 loaf as well.

As shown in the video tutorial below, the dough comes together with a mixer. You can use a paddle attachment or a dough hook. You can also make the dough by hand, but it requires a bit of arm muscle. After the dough comes together in the mixing bowl, it’s time to knead. You can continue beating the dough with the mixer for this step or you can knead the dough by hand.

You need 7 ingredients—practically the same as my homemade cinnamon swirl bread but less sugar. Likewise, they’re basically the same ingredients as my soft dinner rolls too, but in order to bake a bread that rises tall and has legitimate structure, we’ll leave out some of the fat. Swap some of the milk for water and leave out the egg.

Roll it up tightly starting with the 8-inch side, so you have an 8-inch roll to fit into your 9×5-inch loaf pan. (Unlike cinnamon rolls where you roll up the dough starting with the larger side.) Let it rise until it’s 1 heaping inch above the rim of the pan:

But our favorite way is simply warm toast with butter & jam. Honestly, toast made from mass-produced bread doesn’t even compare. You can actually taste the soft and buttery toasty crumbs here. Or make an easy turkey sandwich—store-bought bread can’t make a sandwich taste as PERFECT as this.

I understand there’s a major convenience with store-bought bread and I’m not asking you to only make homemade bread for the rest of you life, but try it at least once. It takes a few hours one afternoon and most of the work is hands-off while the dough rises. Fresh-baked sandwich bread smells incredible, tastes even better, and I’m confident there’s no better baked good than this perfect loaf. You won’t regret trying this.

You only need 7 ingredients to make this simple sandwich bread. Soft and buttery with a chewy/crisp crust, this fresh loaf of bread will quickly become a staple in your kitchen.
