Looking to bake your own bread? This classic soft sandwich bread recipe is the best one to make that even the kids will like. We have started making one loaf in the beginning of the week and it makes sandwiches for everyone throughout the week.

Slicing tip : Be sure to use a serrated bread knife when slicing this bread to avoid the crumbling or the bread tearing.

This is a very simple recipe and yes it does take time for the bread to rise and bake but trust me it is worth it! This bread has a soft and chewy texture – perfect for picky kids!

Ingredients

1 pkg instant yeast/active dry yeast

1-1/2 TBSP butter, unsalted cut into cubes

1-2/3 cups warm water

4-3/4 cups flour
