Description

There's nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked bread filling your home. This simple white bread recipe with all purpose flour is perfect for beginners or those looking for an easy, delicious loaf. With just a handful of ingredients and a little bit of patience, you can have a warm, fluffy loaf of bread in no time.

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

35-40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or stand mixer with dough hook attachment
  • Loaf pan
  • Kitchen towel

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
  2. Add the flour, salt, and melted butter to the bowl and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. You can do this by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment.
  4. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased loaf pan and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve!

Notes

Be sure to use warm water (about 110°F/43°C) for the yeast to activate properly. If your kitchen is cold, you can let the dough rise in a slightly warmed oven or on top of a warm appliance like the refrigerator.

Recipes FAQ

Can I use bread flour instead of all purpose flour?

Yes! Bread flour has a higher protein content than all purpose flour, which can help give your bread a chewier texture. However, all purpose flour works just fine in this recipe.

Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?

Yes! Instant yeast can be added directly to the flour without being activated in water first. Simply mix it in with the dry ingredients and proceed with the recipe as written.

Can I add other ingredients to the bread, like herbs or cheese?

Absolutely! This recipe is a great base for adding in other flavors. Try adding in some chopped herbs, grated cheese, or even some caramelized onions to give your bread a little something extra.

Recipe Tips

Use a kitchen scale to measure your flour for best results. Measuring by weight is more accurate than measuring by volume.

If your bread is browning too quickly in the oven, you can tent it with foil to prevent it from burning.

Let your bread cool completely before slicing it. Cutting into a warm loaf can cause it to become gummy and difficult to slice.
