There’s something magical about the smell of freshly baked bread, isn’t there? And let me tell you, this Amish White Bread is everything you’d hope for—soft, slightly sweet, and so fluffy it practically melts in your mouth. This is the bread that takes me right back to Sunday mornings, sitting at my grandma’s table with the warmest slice of bread slathered in butter and homemade jam. It’s simple, wholesome, and honestly better than anything you’ll find at a store.
If you’ve never baked bread before, this recipe is perfect to start with. There’s no overly complicated technique, and even though it requires a little patience (good things take time, after all), the steps are easy to follow. By the end of it, you’ll have two beautiful loaves of bread—one for now, and one to share (or freeze, but more on that later).
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Soft and Tender: This bread is pillow-soft with a fine crumb—perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just eating plain. Trust me, you’ll want a slice fresh out of the oven with a smear of butter.
- No Fuss Ingredients: It’s made with simple pantry staples—flour, sugar, yeast, salt, butter, and milk. Nothing fancy, just good, honest ingredients.
- Beginner-Friendly: Don’t let yeast intimidate you! If you’re new to bread-making, this recipe will ease you right in, and you’ll feel like a pro by the end.
A Few Tips Before We Begin
If you’ve never worked with yeast before, don’t stress. Make sure your water is just warm (about 110°F to 115°F), like a cozy bath, and not hot—it’ll help activate the yeast without killing it. And when kneading the dough, don’t worry if it feels sticky at first! As you keep working it, it’ll come together and become smooth and elastic.
