Easy White Bread Recipe – Amazing Ultimate Guide (7 Steps)


  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
– 1 ½ teaspoons salt
– 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
– 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F/43°C)


Instructions

Making your own Easy White Bread can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Activate Yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Ingredients: Add soft butter and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in flour, one cup at a time, until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
3. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5. Shape Dough: Punch down the risen dough to release excess air. Shape it into a loaf by rolling it out gently and tucking the edges inward.
6. Second Rise: Place the shaped dough into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan. Cover and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes until it doubles again.
7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

These steps will help you create a fluffy, delicious loaf of Easy White Bread effortlessly!
