Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This easy sandwich bread recipe isn’t just trending because it’s delicious, it’s also foolproof, beginner-friendly and practically begging to be slathered in butter.
While this isn’t sourdough bread (you won’t need a sourdough starter here), the process of letting the bread dough rest and rise twice is key. After the second rise in a warm spot, it’s ready for the oven.
And hey, making bread at home cuts down on the extra cost of store-bought loaves. Save money and enjoy every bite!

Rest Time: 2 Hours
Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Yields: 2 Loaves
Supplies: Two 9×5 loaf pans
Ingredients
- Warm water – temperature is important for the yeast to activate quickly.
- Honey – adds a hit of sweetness to the bread.
- Active dry yeast – make sure that it is fresh and has not expired.
- Bread flour – or substitute with Whole Wheat Flour for a twist.
- Everything Bagel Seasoning – this is optional but makes a great addition to the crust of the bread.
How to Make the Easiest Homemade Sandwich Bread
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, honey and yeast.
2. Whisk, cover and let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
3. Add melted butter, salt and 4 cups of flour.
4. Mix on low speed using the dough hook attachment. Add the 5th cup of flour if the dough feels too sticky.
5. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead into a smooth ball.
6. Place dough in a large bowl greased with olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for an hour.
7. Punch down the dough, split in half, roll into rectangles, and place each in a greased bread pan.
8. Brush tops with olive oil, sprinkle Everything Bagel Seasoning and let them rise for another hour.
9. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
10. Transfer loaves to a cooling rack, slice and enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother dough.
- Avoid adding too much flour during kneading – it can make the bread dense.
- Test the dough with the windowpane test to ensure it’s elastic and ready. This involves stretching the dough until it is almost see through but doesn’t break!
- Line the bottom of the loaf pans with parchment paper for easy bread removal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Instant Yeast instead of Active Dry Yeast?
Yes! Just skip the activation step and mix it directly with your dry ingredients. Adjust the rise time slightly.
Can I make this bread in a bread machine?
Absolutely! Add the ingredients in the order suggested by your machine’s manual and use the ‘dough’ setting.
How do I know if my dough has risen enough?
Press two fingers gently into the top of the dough. If the indentation remains, it’s ready!
