How to make Homemade White Bread

In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.

Add the oil and warm water.  The water should feel just barely warm to your finger (100 – 115 degrees F). Water that is too hot will kill yeast.

Mix with the dough hook for 1 minute and then check the consistency of the dough.  The dough should be very sticky.  If it is too dry, add more water.

Mix for 5 minutes.  Don’t add any more flour after the dough has finished mixing.

Shape into a loaf of desired shape, place in a 9×5 inch loaf pan sprayed with non-stick spray.

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees F. This is to let the dough rise.

Once the oven is preheated, turn the heat off. Place the loaf pan inside. Close the door and allow it to rise for about 1 hour until risen about ½” – 1” above the pan edge.

Remove the loaf pan from the oven and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
