Best Bread Machine White Bread Recipe
I don’t know about you, but I am a sucker for all things bread, especially when it’s freshly baked! There’s nothing like slicing through a loaf of bread that’s still warm and slathering a piece with butter or your favorite jam. While most people were at home during the past year, I noticed that making bread from scratch became a popular activity. Some loaves, especially sourdough, can take days or even weeks to perfect. I’m sure that the payoff is delicious, but as a busy mom, I prefer using our bread machine to make homemade bread!
This bread machine recipe for white bread will quickly become a staple in your house. The recipes that come with bread makers sometimes yield a dense bread that’s less than appetizing. I prefer to use my own recipes, like this bread machine white bread recipe. It creates a fluffy bread that still holds up — aka, the best of both worlds! Basically, it’s everything white bread should be. I love to use this white bread for everything, from buttered toast in the morning to hearty sandwiches at lunchtime. Make a loaf on Sunday and enjoy it all week long — or as long as your family takes to devour it! Here’s a pro tip: if your bread starts to get a bit stale, use it to make your own croutons or breadcrumbs!
Do you have to use bread flour to make this bread?
Using bread flour in this bread machine white bread recipe is important to get the right texture. However, you can substitute all-purpose flour if you’re in a bind. Since all-purpose flour has a lower protein content than bread flour, the texture won’t be exactly the same, but the bread will still taste delicious! I’d recommend that you keep a bag of bread flour in your pantry for all of your bread-making needs. That way, you have the right supplies locked and loaded whenever the craving for some homemade bread hits.
Is a bread machine worth the money?
I can’t speak for everyone out there, but I personally LOVE my breadmaker. Store-bought bread is nothing compared to freshly baked bread, and it’s a luxury to have homemade bread around the house without having to spend all day in the kitchen. With a bread machine, you don’t have to wait to let your bread rise or knead the dough. Just add your ingredients, select the setting, and in a few hours, your loaf is done! Plus, if you have to make large quantities of bread for your family or an event, a bread machine is definitely the way to go. All in all, my breadmaker was totally worth it. If you’ve been holding back on investing in a bread machine, this is your sign to take the plunge!
