Introduction
This Homemade Sandwich Bread is a simple, classic recipe that yields a soft, fluffy loaf perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoying fresh out of the oven. With a golden crust and tender crumb, it’s a staple that’s easy to make and far superior to store-bought bread.
Ingredients:
3 ½ cups (440g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups (360ml) warm water

1 ½ tsp salt
2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) instant yeast
Instructions:
In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add flour and salt, then stir until combined. The dough will be sticky—that’s okay!
Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Transfer to a greased loaf pan, smooth the top, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Tips for Success
- Flour Choice: Bread flour gives a slightly chewier texture, while all-purpose flour yields a softer loaf.
- Kneading: Knead until the dough is smooth and passes the “windowpane test” (stretch a small piece of dough; it should form a thin, translucent membrane without tearing).
- Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
Serving Suggestions
- Use for sandwiches, toast, or French toast.
- Serve with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
