Course: Bread

Cuisine: American

1 & 1/4 cup warm water from the faucet - (make sure it's warm to touch but not boiling hot or it will kill your yeast!)
2 tbsp white sugar
2 & 1/4 tsp bread machine yeast - must be yeast for bread machines
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cups bread flour - leveled, not packed
1-2 tsp salt - to taste

Step 1: Remove the insert from your bread machine before adding ingredients. This keeps spills out of the machine.
Step 2: Pour in 1 and 1/4 cups warm water.
Step 3: Add 2 tbsp sugar.
Step 4: Add 2 and 1/4 tsp bread machine yeast. Stir gently, then set aside for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 5: Check your yeast mixture after 5 minutes. If it’s cloudy and bubbly, you’re good to go. If not, toss it and start fresh from step 1.
Setp 6: Add 2 tbsp olive oil. Don’t stir.
Step 7: Add 4 cups bread flour. Leave it sitting right on top of the wet mixture.
Step 8: Make a small well in the flour. Add 2 tsp table salt, then cover it lightly with flour.
This prevents early contact with the yeast which may potentially prevent your bread from rising.
Step 9: Place the insert back in the machine.
Step 10: Select the “white bread” setting and the 2 lb loaf size and whichever crust setting you prefer. Press start. My machine runs for 3 hrs 30 mins, so I like to set it around 1pm for fresh bread by dinner!
Step 11: Once finished, carefully remove the insert with oven gloves. Turn the bread out onto a cooling rack. Don’t forget to remove the mixing paddle if it’s stuck in the bottom!
Step 12: Let the loaf cool before slicing if you're planning to use it for sandwiches.

Slice it and freeze it in a freezer bag. Pull out slices as needed for grilled cheese or toast etc.
For softer crust, cover the loaf with a clean tea towel while it cools.
Swap in half whole wheat flour if you want a heartier loaf.

This bread is best served once cooled so the crumb stays intact. Perfect for sandwiches, toast with jam, or alongside soup.
