- 1
Add all ingredients into the bread machine in the order listed. The wet ingredients should go at the bottom, and then you use the flour to create an "island" on top to keep the yeast from getting wet before the cycle starts. (If you're using active yeast instead of instant or bread machine yeast, dissolve it in the water before starting, and don't use the time delay cycle.)
- 2
Set the machine "basic white" and click start.
- 3
The bread machine should go through a full cycle, first kneading the bread and then allowing it to rise before baking.
- 4
Allow the bread to cool completely before cutting.

About this Recipe
Craving the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread filling your kitchen, but without the hours of kneading and waiting? This Bread Machine White Bread recipe is your answer, delivering a delightful loaf with just 2 minutes of active effort.
This recipe is a true game-changer for anyone who loves homemade bread but is short on time. The bread machine does all the heavy lifting, from precisely mixing the ingredients to perfectly kneading the dough and maintaining optimal rising temperatures, right through to baking. This means you get to enjoy the incredible aroma and taste of fresh bread with only 2 minutes of active preparation, freeing you up to focus on other things while your kitchen fills with the scent of a comforting, classic white loaf. It’s truly a testament to set-it-and-forget-it baking success.
Prepare for the simple pleasure of a perfectly golden crust yielding to a wonderfully soft and airy interior. Each slice offers a subtle sweetness and a comforting chew, embodying everything you love about classic white bread. It’s an incredibly versatile loaf that brings a touch of homemade warmth to any meal, all within about three hours from start to finish, with most of that time hands-off. This recipe yields 2 servings, making it an excellent choice for smaller households or when you simply desire a fresh, modest loaf without excess.
This recipe provides a fantastic foundation that's easy to adjust. You can use either all-purpose flour for a softer crumb or bread flour for a slightly chewier texture, depending on your preference. If you don't have SAF Instant Yeast, bread machine yeast is a perfect substitute. For a subtle variation, consider slightly increasing the sugar for a sweeter loaf, or for a richer crust, brush the top with a little milk before the final bake cycle (if your machine allows this pause).
This versatile white bread is fantastic sliced for sandwiches, toasted for breakfast, or simply enjoyed with butter alongside a hearty soup or stew. It's the ultimate everyday loaf for casual meals and comforting snacks.
