Description

Learn how to make a fresh, soft, and delicious sandwich bread at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast or active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil

Instructions

  1. Proof the yeast by mixing warm water, sugar, and yeast; let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix flour, salt, and yeast mixture; add softened butter and form a sticky dough.
  3. Knead the dough for 5-8 minutes with a mixer or 10 minutes by hand until soft and stretchy.
  4. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl, covered, until doubled in size (1-2 hours).
  5. Punch down the dough, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  6. Let dough rise again in the pan for 30-45 minutes until doubled.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the bread for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and olive oil. Wrap bread tightly for storage and freeze if necessary.
