Easy Sandwich Bread Recipe

My husband suggested I try making sandwich bread. He loves bread and 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. The end result is a great bread you can make a few times a week.

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.

Kitchen Tools to Make Homemade Bread Recipe

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. The timer is a great feature too. I can get everything ready and have hot bread for breakfat the next morning.

Ingredients for basic bread recipe

• Water
• All purpose flour- You can use bread flour too. This recipe has NOT been tested using whole wheat flour. If you try it, don’t use 100% wheat flour, do a mix of white and wheat.

• Olive oil
• Salt
• Yeast- You’ve got options when it comes to yeast for your bread machine – both instant yeast and active dry yeast work like a charm since they can be added directly into the machine. Just a heads-up: if you’re eyeing that yeast package designed for bread machines, it’s likely instant yeast. This choice is all about making your bread-making journey smoother and ensuring it syncs perfectly with your machine.
