Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 3 cups Bread Flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
Instructions
- Add ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine’s manufacturer. Generally, this means liquids first, then dry ingredients, with the yeast added last, on top of the flour.
- Select the appropriate settings on your bread machine. For a basic white bread, choose the ‘Basic’ or ‘White Bread’ setting and select your desired crust color (light, medium, or dark). Also select your loaf size if prompted.
- Press start and let the bread machine do its work! The machine will mix, knead, proof, and bake the bread.
- Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts. Turn the pan upside down and gently shake or tap it to release the bread. If the bread doesn’t release easily, let it cool slightly more before trying again.
- Place the loaf on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. This prevents the bread from becoming soggy.
Notes
- Always refer to your bread machine’s manual for specific instructions and recommendations.,Adjust the amount of water slightly if the dough appears too dry or too wet during the mixing process. A slightly tacky dough is ideal.,For a sweeter bread, increase the sugar to 3 tablespoons.,Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
