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 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 putting this on the timer and having fresh butter bread in the mornings when we get up and then I can slice it up for sandwiches for the lunch box.

Tip #1
You can use different kids of yeast, but I like the kind made for bread makers. I also use the little packets.
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.

I have never made bread that requires yeast! I don’t know why – something scares me that I’ll mess it up! Maybe if I had a bread maker, I wouldn’t be so afraid – because this looks delish!
I love making homemade bread. I don’t have a bread maker, I always just do it by hand. I think it’s relaxing 🙂
I haven’t pulled out my bread maker in awhile since my son likes to help me knead the bread. But I might have to dust it off and give this a try.
Thanks for sharing on Creative K Kids Tasty Tuesdays. Hope to see you back next week.
I made this and we like it better than the other recipe I’ve been using! Thanks!
Oh how I wish I had the room for a bread maker! Even if it was just for the smell of freshly baked bread… Thanks for sharing Holly!
