Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Water
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 2 Tbsp. Oil (or butter)
  • 3 Tbsp. Honey

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 3/4 cups white flour (Bread or All Purpose)
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 tsp SAF Instant Yeast (or 3 tsp. Bread Machine Yeast)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your bread machine: Make sure your bread machine is clean and set up according to the manufacturer’s instructions for baking white bread.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour 3/4 cup water, 3/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons oil (or butter), and 3 tablespoons honey into the bread machine pan.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Carefully add 3 3/4 cups white flour on top of the wet ingredients, distributing it evenly. Create a small well in the center of the flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 1/2 teaspoons SAF Instant Yeast.
  4. Select baking settings: Choose the ‘basic’ or ‘normal’ bread cycle on your bread machine. If your machine allows you to select crust darkness, select ‘light’ to prevent the crust from becoming too dark due to the sugar content in the honey.
  5. Begin baking: Start the machine and let it complete its baking cycle, which typically takes 3-4 hours depending on your machine.
  6. Cool the bread: When the cycle finishes, carefully remove the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing to ensure the best texture.

Notes

  • Using honey adds sweetness and helps the crust brown faster, so selecting a light crust setting is recommended.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute the oil with melted butter.
  • Make sure to use fresh yeast for best rising results.
  • Letting the bread cool completely before slicing prevents it from becoming gummy.
  • This bread freezes well; slice and freeze leftover bread for up to 3 months.
