This Easy Sandwich Bread recipe is light and fluffy, has simple ingredients, and comes together so easily.
Prep Time 1 hour 45 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 7 minutes
Servings 3 loaves

Ingredients
  

  • tbsp active dry yeast
  • 3 cups warm water (as warm as a baby bottle temp)
  • 1 tbsp sugar  (helps your yeast activate)
  • cup honey
  • 6 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 4 tbsp melted salted butter
  • 1 tbsp salt

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, add in your warm water, dry yeast and sugar. Stir well. Let it sit for a few minutes or until there is a foam on top. This foam lets us know our yeast is activated and ready to go! If you don’t have a foam, start this process over. DO NOT PROCEED until you have a foamy liquid. Your water needs to be a touch warmer than what you would put in a baby bottle.
  • Stir in your honey, melted salted butter and salt. Mix well.
  • Add in 6 cups of bread flour and mix until incorporated. 
  • Add in the cup of whole wheat flour. Mix well until everything is incorporated. Now check the dough. If it is still pretty sticky, add in another 1/4 cup of flour. You want to keep adding flour until the dough doesn’t stick to your finger when you poke it.
  •  If you’re using a mixer, use the dough hook and mix for 2-3 minutes. If you’re kneading by hand, knead for 2-3 minutes.
  • Place a clean dish towel over the dough in a bowl. Set it aside and let it double in size (usually 30-45 minutes).
  • Dump the dough onto a floured surface and divide it into 3 parts. Form it into loaves and place then into greased bread pans. 
  • Cover again with a towel and let them rise once more. They should almost double in size (around an hour).
  • Bake the bread in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Note

  • *this bread can be mixed by hand OR in a kitchenaid mixer. Whichever you prefer
