Grandma’s Perfect Homemade Bread

This bread is soft, fluffy, and has a beautiful golden crust. It is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just enjoying with a pat of butter. Let’s dive right into the ingredients and instructions so you can create this delightful bread at home.

Homemade Bread

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ cups warm water (around 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is activated.
  2. Add the sugar, flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture, stirring until the dough starts to come together.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (approximately 1-2 hours).
  5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air, then shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
  6. Cover the loaf again, and let it rise for another hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  8. Remove from the oven and brush the top with melted butter, if desired. Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Enjoy this homemade bread fresh from the oven, or store it in an airtight container for later. Whether enjoyed with butter, jam, or as part of a sandwich, there’s no denying that this bread brings people together. Happy baking!
