Easy Sandwich Bread – Home Cooking Adventure

This Easy Sandwich Bread is a beginner-friendly recipe perfect for those seeking homemade, fresh bread without the hassle of complicated steps. This bread, known for its soft and tender crumb, is ideal for creating a variety of sandwiches.

With a simple ingredient list, flour, yeast, water, sugar, salt, milk and butter, this bread comes together quickly, making it a staple for busy households.

The process begins with mixing and kneading the dough, which can be done by hand or with a stand mixer. After allowing the dough to rise until it doubles in size, it’s shaped and placed into a loaf pan for a second rise. Baking yields a golden-brown crust with a delightful, slightly chewy texture. 

The aroma of freshly baked bread fills the kitchen, inviting everyone to enjoy a slice, whether toasted or as is.

This Easy Sandwich Bread is not only delicious but also highly customizable. You can experiment with a mix of flours to create different textures and flavors. Add-ins like seeds, herbs, or cheese can enhance its flavor profile, making each loaf unique.

How to make easy sandwich bread

Begin with activating the yeast in a large bowl by combining it with a bit of sugar and water. Let it rest for 5 minutes until the yeast is bubbly. Next, add flour, salt, milk, and butter, and knead the mixture for about 5-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise at room temperature for about an hour until it doubles in size.

Spray a 9×5 inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan with oil and set it aside. On a lightly oiled surface, press the dough into a rectangle with one side the width of the pan, about 9 inches (23 cm). Roll the dough into a log and place it seam-side down into the prepared loaf pan. Cover the loaf with a kitchen towel and let it rise in the pan for another 45-50 minutes at room temperature.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the risen loaf with olive oil and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
