Basic White Bread Using Your Bread Machine

If you are using a bread machine for the first time, this is the recipe to start with! It's a basic white bread, nice and simple so you can learn the process.

Bread machines are so easy to use and you get great tasting fresh bread out of them for less than 5 minutes work! Literally, just put in all of your ingredients into the bread pan, put the pan into the machine, and the bread machine does all the mixing, kneading, rising, baking, and warming!

The ingredients listed will be for a 1-1/2 pound bread, you can adjust the ingredients if you want a different size loaf. Just don't go beyond the capacity of your bread machine!

INGREDIENTS for 1-1/2 pound loaf
1 cup water
2 Tbs oil
2 Tbs sugar
1-1/2 tsp salt
3 cups flour
1-1/2 tsp bread machine yeast OR 2-1/4 tsp regular active dry yeast
