I am so excited to be sharing my Grandma’s perfect bread recipe with you! She was the best baker and although I love her homemade pancakes and her no fail pie crust, you just can’t beat her bread recipe. So many memories came to me as the bread was baking, and the wonderful fresh smell filled my house. I remember her fresh warm bread was always ready for us when we went to visit. It was gone as fast as she would slice it up.

My grandma’s homemade bread recipe is a must-try for anyone seeking a simple bread recipe. With just a handful of ingredients, you can create a loaf of bread that will make you never want to buy bread at the store again!

With these simple ingredients that you already have at home, this bread comes together quickly and easily. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.

Only six ingredients to make a simple homemade bread that is delicious in every way. It is a tried and true favorite that my grandma was so generous to pass down to me. I love this bread so much and love the texture and flavor that it has to offer. The dough is made in a stand mixer but can be done by hand as well. Kneading the dough in between each rise of the dough helps form the dough but also gets out any air bubbles.

Usually our baked bread does not last long enough to even store it or keep out longer than that day. Now though is a great time to have some on hand and be prepared when my family does need bread. With growing boys and a bigger family, all together we are needing more groceries and bread is one of them.

My grandma’s original recipe didn’t use a stand mixer.  You can add the ingredients to a large bowl and combine until the dough has formed and is smooth.  Then proceed to knead it on a floured surface.

Grandma's Easy Homemade White Bread Recipe

If you want to bring your whole family together, bake a loaf of bread and you’ll have everyone crowding around the kitchen. Whenever I bake a loaf of bread, everyone wants a warm slice with butter and jam. You also can’t go wrong with serving bread with homemade soup. In my eyes, there is nothing more perfect.

They are very similar and can be used interchangeably in recipes. However, active dry yeast needs to be dissolved in warm water first, before using it in a recipe. Instant yeast can be added in dry.

If you’re not sure which yeast you have, just add it to warm water first to be safe. The water should be about 90-110 degrees Fahrenheit. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast and your dough won’t rise.

When setting your bread dough to rise, brush some oil on the bottom and sides of the dough before putting the dough into the bowl. This will help the dough to come out much more easily after it’s risen.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. It will prevent the dough from drying out and will create a nice a moist environment for the dough to rise in.

To check if your yeast is still active, sprinkle the yeast into some warm water (100-110 degrees Fahrenheit) with a little bit of sugar. Set it aside for 5-10 minutes. It should rise and foam up. It’s ready to use! If your yeast doesn’t do that, it’s time to get new yeast.

Cover the bowl and the bread pan with plastic wrap. You can also brush the top of the dough with oil for extra insurance.

Homemade bread doesn’t have any preservatives in it like store bought bread, so it will not stay fresh as long. (This is never a problem in our family – it’s so delicious, it gets eaten much faster!)

Store the bread in a paper bag or wrapped in a clean kitchen towel if you don’t want it to get softer. It will last at room temperature for a few days.

Warning: Easy Recipe For Homemade Bread

Yes! Bread freezes really well. Make an extra loaf and freeze it, or, cut half a loaf in half if you have a smaller family. Make sure the bread is wrapped tightly, preferably in multiple layer. Freeze for 1-3 months.

Thaw at room temperature. (Remove the bread from the bag/container, wrap it in a towel while thawing, so it absorbs any condensation.)

Mix together the flour, salt and yeast, then add warm water and mix. The “dough” will be very wet and sloppy, not kneadable at all – this is what you want!

Basic Homemade Bread Recipe: How To Make It

Cover with cling wrap then place it in a warm place (25 – 30°C / 77 – 86°F) for 2 hours. The dough will increase in volume by double or more, the surface will become bubbly and the dough will be wobbly, like jelly.

OPTIONAL – develop flavour: Once dough has risen, you can bake immediately. OR, for better flavour, refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, up to 3 days. Time = better flavour development.

Bread in photos and video were baked immediately. I usually make this dough in the morning, refrigerate all day then bake in the evening. Or make the dough in the evening, refrigerate overnight and bake fresh in the morning! (10 – 12 hours in fridge). Beauty of this bread is that you can bake anytime!

Use a dough scraper or anything of similar shape (spatula, cake server, or large knife) to fold the sides in so it roughly resembles a round disc.

Don’t get too hung up on the shaping – you’ll deform it in the next step!! This step is mainly to deflate the dough.

Slide a large piece of baking / parchment paper next to the dough, then flip it upside down onto the paper using the scraper so the seams from the step above are face down, and you have the smooth side up.
