Description
This No-Knead Soft & Fluffy Sandwich Bread transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary with its soft texture and warm, golden crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose or bread flour
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, whisking together flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Add warm water gradually while stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Let it rise by covering the bowl tightly and allowing the dough to double in size for 1.5 to 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) about 20 minutes before baking.
- Shape the risen dough gently into a loaf on a floured surface.
- Prepare for the second rise by placing it into a greased loaf pan and letting it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the loaf for 30 to 35 minutes until it sounds hollow and has a golden-brown crust.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For added flavor, consider adding herbs, spices, or cheese to the dough. Make-ahead option: prepare dough the night before and refrigerate.
