White sandwich bread – probably the simplest bread recipe,soft and fluffy, with a yellowish crumb and a chewy crust, this bread it perfect for Pb&J or any deli sandwiches and even for making French toast.
This recipe if part of my monthly partnership with Red Star Yeast.
I could not believemy eyes way back in January when I shared 20 homemade bread recipes and 20 more on my bucket listthatI don’t have a recipe for sandwichbread already on the blog. I mean, really, is there a simpler recipe that plain white sandwichbread?
The first bread I tried to bake way bake 4 years ago when I microwaved yeast (don’t laugh, totally did it) was white sandwich bread. Since then I have picked a thing or two about baking with yeast, but I’m mostly thankful for all the lessons and yeast and baking I’ve read on Red Star Yeast site when I was desperate and close to having a panic attack.
Some of you might be wondering “why go through all the trouble of making bread from scratch when it’s easilyavailable at every grocery store?” My dears, the answer it’s simple “because homemade it’s the best!” There’s absolutely nothing more rewarding that knowing what exactly Iput in my family meals and baked goodies. Have you read the LONG ingredientslist on the store-bought bread? That’s insane! Ingredients that I can’t even pronouncelet alone know what they are, are listed as ingredients in that perfectly shaped loaf of bread.
No, thank you. I’d rather bake a not so perfect loaf of bread with accessibleingredients and I’ll feel 10 times better.
This white sandwich bread recipe come from Red Star Yeastand it’s been my go-to sandwich bread for a while now. It uses both milk and water which leads to a soft chewy crumb and crust. A little bit of butter and an egg is added for richness and that yellowish color with just a touch of sweetness, without being considered a sweet bread.
This bread it’s very easy to make, just follow the basic steps in making bread and you’ll be fine!

In a bowl add the water, yeast and teaspoon of sugar. Stir to combine and leave at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes until doubled in volume.
In a mixing bowl sift the 3 cups of flour and make a well in the middle.
Pour the yeast mixture, add the egg, sugar, salt and melted butter.
With the dough hook on start mixing adding the milk and slowly adding the remaining flour until the dough forms a soft and elastic ball.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for about 1 hour or until doubled in volume.
When the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a log. Place it into a 9X5 greased baking pan, cover and let rest again at room temperature for another 30 minutes.
In the meantime, heat the oven to 375F.
Bake the bread for about 30 minutes until golden brown and the smell of fresh bread takes over your kitchen.
Leave to cool slightly in the pan before removing it and completely before slicing it.

Kneading mixes the dough's ingredients and creates a good gluten structure for the bread. It is one of the trickiest parts of learning to bake bread because it's hard to tell if you've kneaded too much or not enough. Bread that is under-kneaded will have more crumbs.
With step-by-step pictures, a full video tutorial, and plenty of helpful tips, learn how to make simple white sandwich bread using a few baking ingredients like flour, water, yeast, salt, and milk. Bread flour promises a super soft interior with an extra chewy crust.
Some breads are more nutritious than others. To choose a beneficial bread, you can look for varieties made from 100% whole-grain and/or sprouted-grain flours. Make sure your bread is low in added sweeteners. A few good options include sourdough, rye, flax, and oat breads.
Yes.If you sift flour, it becomes aerated and less dense. “A cup of flour sifted before measuring will weigh 20 to 30 percent less than a cup of flour sifted after measuring — a difference that can make a huge impact on the texture of finished baked goods,” Cook's Illustrated says.
There may be several reasons for a dense, cake like texture in bread. It may indicate the kneading wasn't enough for the gluten to develop properly, or the dough was proved for too short a time or the dough may have been too dry. It is also worth checking the flour you used.
This can affect the bread by adding a "yeasty" taste if you put too much into the dough. General amounts of yeast are around 1 - 2 % of the flour, by weight. Too much yeast could cause the dough to go flat by releasing gas before the flour is ready to expand.
The color indicates the day of the week the bread was baked. Typically, commercial bread is baked and delivered to grocery stores five days a week. This gives bakeries two days off–Wednesdays and Sundays. The color system helps the store staff as they rotate in the freshest bread and remove the older loaves.
The white flour used in white bread is produced from the endosperm of the grain, which is a rich source of carbohydrate and protein. White bread has approximately the same carbohydrate and protein content as wholemeal bread, and contains some dietary fibre and a good percentage of the nutrients of wholegrain bread.
In addition to the four main ingredients used to make bread – flour, salt, yeast and water – there are often small quantities of other ingredients which are added to improve the texture, crumb structure and keeping properties of the bread.
The Bread and Flour Regulations require that flour should contain not less than 0.24 mg thiamin (vitamin B1), 1.60mg nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) and 1.65mg of iron per 100g of flour.
