Softest Ever Bread Machine Bread

Recipe #107868 | 1¼ hours | 10 min prep | add private note

My sister gave me this recipe soon after I brought home my bread machine. It's a staple in our house. Soft and fluffy and great for sandwiches or just to eat fresh out of the oven! UPDATE 3/25/2005 - I made this using the dough cycle of my bread maker today but baked it in the oven and it turned out perfectly! I baked it at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.

1 loaf (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Place the water, sugar and yeast in the pan of the bread machine.
  2. 2
    Let the yeast dissolve and foam for 10 minutes.
  3. 3
    Add the oil, flour and salt to the yeast.
  4. 4
    Select Basic or White Bread setting, and press Start.
  5. 5
    You can also use the dough cycle of your bread maker and then place in a greased loaf pan; punch down and let rise again and then bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until done.

I think this is the best bread I have made in my bread machine so far! I followed the directions according to the bread machine on the order of the ingredients. I will definitely be making this again!

    GREAT bread!!! So quick and easy!!! I literally threw it together in about 3 minutes before leaving for work!! Kids loved eating lunch on fresh bread!! I did follow my machine's instructions: Liquids, flour / salt / sugar and make a hole for the yeast. Next time I will try it on a light crust....this was perfect for sandwiches!! THANKS!!

    Nice and fluffy! This is a good recipe. I had a bit of trouble though with the directions. The bread didn't work, so I gave it another try fellowing the way my bread machine calls for and the bread turned out GREAT! What I did was put the liquids(water and oil) in first than added salt and than added the flour and sugar and made a dent in middle of flour for the yeast than closed the lid and hit select once and than clicked start and away it went and about 3hrs later I had a fluffy loaf of bread. Smelled so good in my house. Thanks for sharing KC!

    I hestitate to rate this recipe since I did NOT follow the directions exactly. I had read a review where corn oil was used and it left a corn oil taste. That made sense to me.. I was out of vegetable oil so I used canola oil. I also had a oil taste to my bread. The texture was EXCELLENT just as promised. Next time I will use vegetable oil, or maybe try subsitituting part soft butter. I always 'proof' my yeast in bread making and this is the first time I saw it done in a bread machine.I REALLY recommend filling your machine's pan with HOT water while you get your ingredients together. This warm pan really helps with the yeast activation. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It's a keeper!!
