I make all the bread that our family consumes, at least 3 seasons on the year, and it is definitely saving us money, and in the winter the heat from the oven adds an extra bit of heat to our home. This sandwich bread is our favorite recipe for bread that doesn’t require a bread machine. There is just something about homemade bread coming out of the oven.

I had another bread recipe that I used up until now, and it was great, but I was trying to find a way to cut back on the grocery bill, and that recipe used a lot of ingredients. The recipe that I am using now only has four ingredients which fits our budget so much better and makes it easier to make in the long run.
What you need:
- 1/4 c canola oil
- 1 tsp white sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp yeast
- 2 3/4 cup water
- 6 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
How to make easy sandwich bread:
Yeast, warm water, and sugar. Make sure your water is warm, not too hot or you’ll kill the yeast, too cold and it won’t react. I only use a cup of water at this point, and then let it sit for abut 5 minutes until the yeast is all foamy.
Toss in the remaining water, oil, and three cups of flour, oh and toss in some salt as well. Mix, cover and let it sit for about 10 minutes. It will get a bit bubbly. Add in the remaining flour and mix it well. I use my mixer with a dough hook, and mix until the dough becomes a ball of dough around the hook.
Remove from the bowl and place into another, but greased bowl. Cover, I cover with a piece of parchment paper and them a dish towel, that way the dough doesn’t stick to the towel as it rises. Let it rise in a warm spot for an hour, then divide it into your loaf pans.
It you want to make two large loafs of this sandwich bread, divide it into two, I divide it into 3 medium sized loafs. Let it rise for another hour, and then bake at 350˚ for 30 minutes.
