White Bread Recipe for Bread Machine
What’s not to love about homemade bread? Especially when you cut into a warm, freshly baked loaf, slather on some butter, and watch it melt into every fluffy bite—OH LA LA, perfection!
Lately, I’ve been baking nonstop, experimenting with all kinds of recipes in my bread machine. One of my absolute favorites is Italian bread that comes out with a perfectly crisp crust and a soft, airy inside—ideal for sandwiches or dipping into olive oil. And when I’m craving something extra comforting, I whip up a batch of fluffy bread machine dinner rolls . They’re so light and buttery, they practically melt in your mouth!
If you love that rustic, chewy texture with big, beautiful air pockets, you have to try making ciabatta bread . It’s surprisingly easy to make at home, and the result is that bakery-style loaf you can’t stop tearing apart piece by piece. And lately, I’ve been obsessed with baking up a fragrant Italian herb bread , infused with basil and oregano. The smell alone is enough to make everyone in my house run to the kitchen before it’s even out of the machine!
But this recipe is dedicated to my most traditional, basic bread recipe. This recipe makes a fluffy loaf of homemade white bread in just a few hours using your bread machine. I hope you love it!
How to Make Soft White Bread
For this recipe you’ll need warm water, warm milk, all purpose flour, sugar, salt, melted butter and active dry yeast. You’re going to be surprised that this isn’t made with bread flour considering how soft and yummy it ends up!
Add the ingredients into your bread machine baking pan depending on the order your bread machine manufacturer recommends. I listed them in the order that I add mine to the baking pan which is pretty standard, but please double check with your bread machine manual first!
Select WHITE bread on your bread machine and then press START. Now sit back and let your bread machine do the work! My bread machine takes about 3 hours to make a loaf of bread, from start to finish.
Now my favorite part, time to cut the first slice of bread! Look at how fluffy this bread is! This bread makes perfect sandwich bread, and delicious toast that I like to add strawberry jam and butter to for breakfast!
How to Store Homemade Bread
Store bread in a bread box, or wrapped up on the counter for 3-4 days. You can also freeze this bread for 4 months. I like to wrap in aluminum foil and then place in a freezer bag to prevent any freezer burn to the bread.
I hope you enjoy this Bread Machine White Bread recipe!
