Bread Recipe For Bread Machine With All Purpose Flour

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.

Homemade Buttermilk 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.

Fast Bread Recipe (only 60 Minutes)

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.

Have you ever said something like “$&@! I am out of bread flour. How am I going to make some decent bread now?“. Unfortunately, lots of bread recipes call for the use of bread flour. However, there are many times when you find yourself with only all-purpose flour at home (i.e. you ran out of bread flour). Therefore, I decided to create an easy all-purpose flour bread machine recipe that you can use to create a slightly sweet “country” white bread. It only uses simple ingredients such as milk, butter, eggs… and all purpose flour! This basic white bread is perfect for sandwiches or toast.

Of course, this is not some fancy artisanal bread… rather, it is a good emergency recipe if you are missing bread flour and only have all purpose flour at home. This recipe allows you to create nice sandwich bread or toast with a bread machine & all purpose flour. Moreover, this easy recipe hopefully saves you from making a special trip to the supermarket in order to buy some bread flour!!!

Since all purpose flour has less gluten than bread flour, all purpose flour breads often do not rise as well as bread flour breads. The extra gluten in bread flour helps to “trap” the carbon dioxide produced by the yeast and this results in a better rise. Therefore, to offset this “rising” issue, I added an egg to the bread machine white bread recipe (because eggs have a modest positive leavening effect).

Since this white bread contains eggs, I decided to turn this all purpose flour bread recipe into a slightly sweet country white bread recipe. Country white breads are usually made with milk, butter and eggs… things that you might find on a farm (i.e. in the “country”side). These ingredients help you to produce a more old fashioned but delicious “homemade” type of white bread.

All purpose flour is a type of wheat flour commonly used for making baked goods such as cakes, pies and cookies. It has less gluten than bread flour thus all purpose flour is less commonly used for bread making. The higher level of gluten in bread flour creates a greater rise in breads. This is because the higher gluten has a greater ability to “trap” the carbon dioxide bubbles produced by yeast. For more information on the different types of flour, you should read this Wikipedia article on Flour.

Homemade Bread In A Bread Machine,

Yes, you can easily use all purpose flour in a bread machine. All purpose flour is used in many bread machine recipes, especially sweet “quick breads” such as banana bread, pumpkin bread, gingerbread, zucchini bread, etc. You can also use all purpose flour to replace bread flour in many sandwich-type breads (esp. if you have run out of bread flour). The only caveat is that sandwich-type breads made with all purpose flour will be a little denser (less airy) than sandwich-type breads made with bread flour (because all purpose flour has less gluten to trap the CO2 bubbles put out by the yeast).

This all purpose flour bread machine recipe creates an old-fashioned country white bread. Moreover, it is simple & easy to make… as your bread machine does most of the hard work! Visit Bread Dad () for more easy bread machine recipes.
