Bread Machine White Bread
A soft, even white sandwich loaf made with six ingredients on the basic cycle, with a tender crumb that slices cleanly.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups warm water 300 ml, about 40C
- 3 tablespoons butter softened, or neutral oil
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 4 cups strong white bread flour 500 g
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast
Instructions
- Add the warm water, softened butter, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan.
- Add the bread flour on top, ensuring it fully covers the liquid.
- Make a small well in the flour and add the yeast, or place it in the yeast dispenser if your machine has one.
- Select the Basic or White Bread cycle on your machine.
- Choose your preferred crust setting, light, medium, or dark.
- Press start and allow the machine to knead, rise, and bake the loaf.
- When the cycle is complete, remove the loaf from the pan and cool on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Nutrition values are an estimate. This makes a 2 lb loaf. For a 1.5 lb machine use 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 3 cups flour, and 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast. Check the dough five minutes into kneading, since it should be a soft, slightly tacky ball rather than sticky or dry. Cool for at least 45 minutes before slicing.
