Print Recipe

This homemade white bread recipe delivers soft, fluffy loaves that are perfect for sandwiches or to enjoy fresh out of the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add salt and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time, until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
  6. Cover the pan and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Store bread in a plastic bag at room temperature to keep it fresh.
