This recipe of the White Bread Machine Bread is a family recipe we’ve been using for over two decades. It’s so simple, few common ingredients and the bread is incredible.
I remember our guests would always compliment at how delicious our bread is and asking how we make it. If you don’t have a bread machine, I would highly suggest buying one. I would recommend a Panasonic Bread Maker; I bought mine 10 years ago and I use it on an everyday basis to make bread and any dough. You don’t have to knead it and this bread maker actually rises the bread; it does its magic for you. All you have to do is take out the dough, form the shapes of buns or whatever recipe you’re working on and bake.
Use all-purpose flour. At the moment I’m using Bob’s Red Mill brand all-purpose flour and this is perfect for this recipe. If you run into this situation…when the bread machine starts mixing and you see that the dough is kind of thick and hard, add a bit water to smooth it out. For perfect bread, it should rise a bit higher than the basket in bread machine once it’s baked.
Bread Ingredients:
- All-purpose flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill brand)
- Fine salt
- Grapeseed oil (vegetable okay too)
- Cold water
- Instant dry yeast
How to Make White Bread in Bread Machine:
1. Put 4.5 cups all-purpose flour into the bread machine basket. Then continue adding the rest ingredients: 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon oil and lastly 1 3/4 cups (410 ml) cold water. Put 1 teaspoon instant yeast into yeast hole. (If your bread machine doesn’t have a separate hole for yeast then just add into the basket with the rest of ingredients). Plug the bread machine in, set to XL (in size), Basic bread and Medium (in color) – this would take 4 hours.
2. When your bread is done, leave it in for 10-15 minutes so that when you take it out, the little butterfly at the bottom of the basket comes off by itself when you flip the bread out. Wrap bread in food wrap and cover with a towel until it cools so that it stays soft. You can slice into pieces and put into Ziploc to refrigerate and enjoy for up to a week. Enjoy!!

Hi Olga! I want to try this recipe. I can’t find this brand of yeast. Can I make it with Costco brand? Thank you
Olga in the Kitchen says:
Hi! The yeast at the link is the same exact yeast that is sold in Costco. It’s the same brand and the only yeast I’ve ever seen in our local WA Costco stores. If you seen another, as long as it’s instant yeast, it would work.
