I’ve been making my own sandwich bread for a few years now. I’ve had a bread maker for about 10 years, but never used it much. I decided to break it out to see what all I could make.  

Which Bread Maker to Buy

Here’s the bread maker that I have. I actually used my first one out and when I went to buy a second one, I bought the same exact one, I love it so much!

It’s super easy to use and has a ton of settings. I love the quick bread setting that reduces your baking time in half.

Easy Sandwich Bread Machine Recipe

My husband suggested I try making sandwich bread. He loves bread and he loves going to his moms in Philadelphia and going to the bakeries and picking out bread so I thought I would give it a try.

I went through several different recipes and then some tweaking to come up with what my family liked. Some recipes I found were to dense, while others were soft and fluffy.

I love that this only takes a few minutes of actual work, putting the timer on and waking up to fresh butter bread, then slicing it up for sandwiches for the lunch box.

How to make bread machine bread

Step 1

Put the ingredients in the bread maker in the order that they are listed (except yeast). 

Step 2

Close lid and add yeast to dispenser.

Step 3

Set bread maker to bake according to your bread maker instructions. Carefully take your loaf out when it’s done. It will be hot!

Tip #1

You can use different kids of yeast, but I like bread machine yeast. I also use the little packets. You can use active dry yeast too. I never use instant yeast so I can’t recommend it.

Tip #2

Don’t forget to add the yeast to your yeast dispenser! I have done this several times!

Tip #3

Yes, you can cook this on the quick bake setting or the regular setting.
