Ingredients for 2 lbs of bread
- 1 1/2 cups milk (You can use oat milk or similar alternatives)
- 1 tbsp butter (softened or sunflower seed oil)

Note:
To prepare this soft white sandwich bread, you can use any bread machine. Keep in mind that some machines, like this one, have a pre-heating cycle, so there’s no need to heat the milk. If you do, the bread might rise too much and spoil. Follow the steps and you’ll get perfect bread!
Place the bread machine basket on a scale and weigh all the ingredients directly, following this order:
Pour the milk.
Add the softened butter in pieces (or the oil).
Cover with the flours.
Add the salt and sugar (or honey).
Crumble the fresh yeast in the center, on top of the flour.
Insert the basket into the bread machine.
Select program 2 (soft bread), set the weight to 2 lbs, and choose light bake.
Start the machine.
The machine will beep 10 times twice.
When you hear the beeps the second time, you can open the lid, remove the kneading paddles, and close again. Let the machine complete the rising and baking.
Gently remove the soft white sandwich bread from the bread machine basket and let it cool on a wire rack.
Once cooled, you can slice it.
There you go! Your soft white sandwich bread is ready to be enjoyed. Easy, quick, and irresistible! I hope you enjoyed this recipe and that the result was perfect. Now, give it a try and feel free to share your result with me in the comments or on social media!

Tip for Freezing:
Place the bread slices in food bags, separating them with small sheets of parchment paper.
This way, the slices won’t stick together, and it’ll be easy to take one or more at a time.
To defrost, use the microwave on defrost mode for about 2 minutes. Your bread will be soft and ready to be filled as you like!
Enjoy! 😊
FAQ – Soft White Sandwich Bread with the Bread Machine
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can replace all-purpose flour with other flours, like whole wheat or spelt, but the final result might be slightly different. If you use whole wheat flour, I recommend adding a bit more liquid.
My bread machine doesn’t have a “soft bread” program. Can I still make this recipe?
Yes, you can choose another program for white bread or classic bread, but make sure the baking time is about 3 hours and that the program doesn’t include too crispy of a bake. If your machine doesn’t have a soft dough program, select the closest one.
The bread is too dense, how can I improve the texture?
If the bread is too dense, try using a flour with a higher gluten content (like Manitoba flour) or slightly reduce the amount of flour. Ensure the bread machine has enough time to rise.
Can I add extra ingredients, like seeds or nuts?
Yes, you can customize your bread by adding sunflower seeds, flax seeds, or chopped nuts. Add them at the beginning of the kneading cycle, before the machine starts baking.
