Homemade Amish White Bread Yields 2 Delicious Loaves

It is very easy to shape the white dough in order to fit it into a 9 x 5 bread pan before baking your white bread in the oven. Moreover, it should take you only a couple of minutes to shape the proper dough “jelly roll” needed to create a nice bread loaf. Please watch this Youtube video by King Arthur Baking because it is a very good (& short) instructional video. It is focused on how to shape the dough in order to make a “sandwich” loaf in a bread pan.

You can add lots of different ingredients in order to change the flavor of your white bread. You can use butter instead of vegetable oil in order to add a more buttery flavor. You can add spices such as Italian seasoning and dried rosemary. You can add dried fruit such as dried cranberries in order to add sweetness & some fruit flavor. You can use buttermilk or whole milk instead of water. All you need to be is creative with your white bread and you can add lots of delicious new flavors.

Yes, you can make homemade white bread with all purpose flour. It will be a decent bread but it will not be as nice as a white bread made with bread flour. All purpose flour has less gluten than bread flour. Therefore, a white bread made with all purpose flour will be denser & less airy than a white bread made with bread flour. More gluten enables bread flour to trap more of the CO2 “bubbles” put out by the bread yeast. More trapped bubbles help to create softer & airer breads.

Easy Homemade Bread Recipe

If your family can’t eat dairy products, you can easily replace the dairy ingredients in this white bread recipe with non-dairy substitutes. You can replace the milk with water, soy milk, almond milk, etc. You also can replace the butter with vegan butter or vegetable oil (i.e. canola oil or corn oil).

If you want to add a little extra favor to white bread, you can add a small amount of spices such as Italian seasoning, dried rosemary, dried pepper flakes, black pepper, etc.

Bread flour is the best flour to use when making white bread. It has more gluten than all purpose flour and more gluten results in an airier & softer bread. The extra gluten in bread flour helps to trap more of the CO2 put out by the yeast. Moreover, white breads made with all purpose flour tend to be a little denser (less air pockets) than white breads made with bread flour.

Easy Perfect Yeast Bread

This white bread recipe uses instant yeast to easily produce a delicious & buttery homemade bread. Instant yeast is a quicker way to make bread because it doesn't need to 10 minutes to proof (activate in a liquid). You just add the instant yeast to the dry ingredients when making the recipe and there is no need to pre-activate the yeast.

Easy Gluten Free Bread {dairy Free}

A lot of people are intimidated by making homemade bread. You don't need any special bread machines or even a mixer (although having one will save you some elbow grease).

The secret to fast bread is using Instant yeast. I'm using saf-instant yeast. You can usually find instant yeast right next to the regular yeast at the grocery store.

Basic

You don't have to use saf-instant yeast, any brand that says instant will work. Red Star Instant yeast is another popular brand.

Homemade Bread Recipe

Instant yeast is like regular yeast on steroids. You don't need to mix it with the milk and sugar to bloom it. Just mix it in with the flour, add in the liquid and mix! Using instant yeast makes this bread recipe extra easy because you don't have to bloom the yeast, just mix it in with the flour, sugar, and milk.

Combine your flour, yeast, sugar and warm (110ºF) milk in the bowl of your stand mixer and combine for one minute at low speed.

After one minute, add in the salt and butter. If your dough is too slippery from the butter, sprinkle in ¼ cup of flour to soak up the butter and is kneading properly in the bowl and not just spinning round and round. If the dough is still not sticking to the sides of the bowl, add a couple of tablespoons of water.

How To Bake Bread Using Less Yeast

Roll a piece of dough in your hand, is it smooth and silky? If so, then it's ready. If it's sticky and lumpy, it needs more mixing.

You can test to see if your bread has developed enough gluten by doing the windowpane test. Start by pulling off some of the dough and carefully stretching it between your fingers to make a little window. 

Easy

If the dough isn't ready, keep mixing for another 2 minutes on medium speed or until the gluten test can be performed successfully. Don't worry about over-mixing.

You can do all of this by hand but it will take longer. Probably about 10-15 minutes of kneading. Don't worry, it's basically impossible to over-knead dough by hand.

Time to let this dough rise! Place it into a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a tea towel to keep in the moisture.

I put mine next to an open oven set to 170F. Don't put your dough IN the oven or the hot temperature will kill your yeast.

No Yeast White Bread (bread With Baking Powder)

Just shape your loaves into two (or three or four depending on how many loaves you want). I've even made hamburger buns and hotdog buns with this recipe.

Tuck all the rough edges underneath to form a nice smooth skin on top. This will make your bread look really lovely after it's baked.

Homemade

Place your two loaves onto a pan with some parchment paper. Make sure they have a good 8 between them so they don't end up touching as they bake.

Then make 3 or 4 slices on top of the loaf with a sharp knife at
