Soft White Bread Recipe
This Soft White Bread is a simple, made from scratch, classic homemade bread recipe that is soft and easy to slice for sandwiches or toast. This recipe uses bread flour but can also be made with all-purpose flour. It takes about 1 hour to rise, then bakes up fluffy and golden brown and makes just 1 loaf.
Ingredients
- 2 ⅔ cups bread flour (or all purpose)
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- ¾ tsp salt
- 2 ½ tsp quick rising yeast
- 1 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
- 1 cup warm water (somewhere between 100 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit)
Instructions
- In bowl of stand mixer, stir together flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
- Add 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 dough hook for 1 minute and then check consistency of 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 dough has finished mixing.
- Shape into a loaf of desired shape, place in loaf pan sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Preheat oven to 170 degrees F. This is to let dough rise.
- Once oven is preheated, turn heat off. Place loaf pan inside. Close door and allow to rise for about 1 hour until risen about ½” – 1” above pan edge.
- Remove loaf pan from oven and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
