Easy White Bread Recipe

Ingredients For White Bread

• 2 cups of warm water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp yeast
• 6 cups bread flour
• 1.5 tsp celtic sea salt
• 1/4 cup organic olive oil

Directions To Make The Best Basic Bread

1. Put warm water into a bowl.

2. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve.

3. Add the 2 1/2 tsp of yeast.

4. Stir the water, yeast and sugar together and let sit for 10 minutes.

After ten minutes, your yeast mixture should look frothy and bubbly.

If yours doesn't, it may be because your yeast is no longer good. Here's a great blog post that will help you how to tell if your yeast is still alive.

5. In a separate bowl, add the 6 cups of flour.

6. In another separate big bowl, pour in your yeast mixture and the salt and oil. Give it a stir.

7. Add the flour to your oil/yeast mixture gradually, stirring each time. You will use up to six cups of flour for this bread recipe, and the amount of flour you will use will depend on the humidity level of where you live.

Be sure to watch our video to see what consistency you are aiming for.

8. Once you have the perfect consistency of dough (after adding somewhere between 5-6 cups of flour), turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and begin to knead it. You are about halfway to having delicious homemade bread!

9. Knead the bread dough for about ten minutes until your dough is soft and tacky, and no longer sticky.

10.  Lightly grease a clean, large bowl and gently place your ball of bread dough inside and cover the bowl with a slightly dampened cloth or tea towel.

Let your bread dough rise for an hour in a warm place where it should double in size.

11. After your bread dough has risen and has doubled in size, take it out and knead it a few more times on your surface (you don't need any more flour at this stage).

12. Cut your bread dough in half and roll each half up. Place the 2 rolled pieces of bread dough into 2 separate, lightly greased bread pans.

13. Cover each bread pan up again with a damp cloth and let rise one more time for about 30-40 minutes in a warm place and in about 25 minutes, you can preheat your oven to 350F.

14. Bake your bread at 350F for 30-40 minutes until the internal temperature of your bread is 190F.

Let your bread cool off slightly before slicing into it. We know, it is so tempting to cut right into that delicious looking bread! Just give it a little while to settle and cool.
