🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

1 1/2 cups water
2 tbsp butter
3 cups bread flour
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

👨‍🍳Directions

1Add water and butter to the bread pan of your Breadman bread machine.
2Use warm water, around 80°F to 90°F, to help activate the yeast.
3Butter should be at room temperature and soft.
4Next, add the bread flour to the pan.
5Ensure the flour is evenly distributed and covers the water and butter.
6Sprinkle the salt and sugar over the flour.
7This prevents the salt from coming into direct contact with the yeast, which could inhibit its activity.
8Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the active dry yeast.
9Ensure the yeast is evenly distributed around the well.
10The yeast should be added last to avoid direct contact with the liquid, which could prematurely activate it.
11Place the bread pan into the bread machine and select the basic white bread setting.
12Choose the medium crust setting for a golden-brown crust.
13Press start and allow the machine to complete the cycle.
14The bread machine will mix, knead, and bake the bread according to the selected settings.
15It will take around 3 hours and 10 minutes to complete.
16Once the cycle is complete, remove the bread pan from the bread machine.
17Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
18This helps to set the structure of the bread and prevents it from becoming soggy.
19After 10 minutes, remove the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
20The bread should have a golden-brown crust and a soft, fluffy interior.

📝Notes

Tips: For a sweeter bread, increase the amount of sugar. For a healthier option, substitute whole wheat flour for half of the bread flour.

One thing I love about this recipe is how well it stores – simply wrap your freshly baked loaf in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to serve, simply slice off what you need and reheat in the toaster oven or microwave until crispy.

This is also a great way to repurpose leftover loaves into croutons or breadcrumbs – just chop them up finely and bake until golden brown. And don’t even get me started on how wonderful homemade bread smells when reheated – it’s like having your own personal bakery right in your kitchen!
