I have been working on this perfect Homemade Soft Sandwich Bread for A WHILE. I’ve finally nailed down the proportions and happy to share this foolproof recipe with you, because it turns out INCREDIBLE every single time.

High Altitude Sandwich Bread

I posted a sneak peek of this loaf on my Instagram stories a couple of weeks ago, and immediately my DMs were flooded with requests for the recipe. Who would have thought that something so simple as sliced soft white sandwich bread would cause such a reaction?

One thing led to another, I’m obsessed with the final recipe, and here we are! I can’t wait to see all of you baking this gorgeous loaf of homemade soft sandwich bread in your own kitchens. Remember me to tag me @lions.bread in your posts, I LOVE to see my creations come to life in your homes.

Unbleached All purpose Flour – in this perfect white bread, I love to use unbleached all purpose flour. This is meant to be the best white bread you’ve ever had, and I don’t add any whole wheat to it. Want whole wheat bread, check out Honey Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread.

Classic Sandwich Bread Recipe

Yeast – we’re using dry active yeast in this loaf of bread. I let the yeast bloom in the warm water with he sugar for a few minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients.

Sugar – the granulated sugar in this recipe adds a touch a sweetness, but the bread doesn’t read “sweet” at all. The flavor of the crumb is well balanced and delicious.

Water – using warm water helps dissolve the outer coating of the yeasts, and keeps the overall temperature of the dough warm, which encourages rising. I aim for 85-90 degree F water.

Salt – kosher salt or pink Himalayan salt are my go to in the kitchen. Either would work fine here, just stay away from iodized salt.

Homemade

Melted Butter – the melted butter is the key ingredient to keep this sandwich bread crumb and crust nice and soft. I love using European butter for its higher fat content, and Kerrygold is my go-to for all of my bakes.

KitchenAid Stand Mixer (click to SHOP)– this machine is a workhorse in my kitchen, and I use it for everything from bread baking, cinnamon rolls, cookies, to pies and tarts.

Sourdough Sandwich Bread

Metal Bench Scraper – this is such a helpful tool for dividing and shaping dough, and cleaning your work space. The bench scraper is also super helpful in transferring ingredients from one place to another. Thank me later!

Dough bowl Shower Caps – the shower cap eliminates the need for single use plastic, and it leaves enough room for the dough to rise. I use them ALL THE TIME.

Rubber Spatulas – you need them, you’ll use them 1, 654, 768 times day, make sure you get the good ones that will last.

Perfect Homemade White Bread (sandwich Bread Recipe)

When it comes to the core of this recipe, follow it exactly how it is written if you want to achieve the same results. Th only substitution that will work is subbing the melted butter for avocado oil if you’d prefer to make the bread vegan.

I have several other recipes that call for whole grain flours, seeds, nuts etc. This isn’t her. She’s perfect exactly as she is.

That being said, I often use this recipe as a base for delicious homemade cinnamon raisin bread. You can add to it, but keep the core the same.

Also, this homemade bread can be sliced thinly and frozen for up to 1 month in an airtight bag. To thaw the bread, pull out a couple slices, and pop them directly into the toaster, and they are perfect every time.
