Bread Machine Recipe
This bread machine recipe turns simple pantry staples into soft, golden homemade bread with a crisp crust—no kneading required and an easy recipe for busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water 110 °F/43 °C
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons quick oats
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
- Pour the warm water into your bread machine pan, then the olive oil.
- Sprinkle in sugar and salt on opposite corners.
- Gently level the top with a spatula so you’ve got a flat surface.
- Make a small well in the center of your flour mound and add the yeast.
- Select the “Basic” or “White Bread” cycle on your machine.
- Let the machine knead, rise, and bake—around 3 hours.
- When the cycle ends, remove the loaf and cool before slicing.
Notes
For best results, weigh your flours on a kitchen scale. Let your water rest off the boil before using. Feel free to customize with your favorite whole grains or seeds.
