What Grandma used to make! Our family's favorite. The recipe was never written down (that I know of) until she shared it with me when she was in her 90's.

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups warm water
3 tablespoons active dry yeast
3 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup white sugar
8 cups bread flour

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, salt, oil, sugar, and 4 cups flour. Mix thoroughly, and let sponge rise until doubled in size.
  • Gradually add about 4 cups flour, kneading until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn several times to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled.
  • Punch down the dough, let it rest a few minutes. Divide dough into three equal parts. Shape into loaves, and place in three 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch greased bread pans. Let rise until almost doubled.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes. The loaves may need to be covered for the last few minutes with foil to prevent excess browning.

I'm celiac, so I can't eat wheat bread. Do you have a recipe for gluten-free white bread?

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'white bread.' The bread I made was a little brown.

This bread is a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use a little more salt or sugar.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread turned out really dense and heavy. It was still edible, but it wasn't what I was hoping for.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is the cooking time. I find that it takes about 10 minutes longer to bake than the recipe says.

I'm a total novice in the kitchen, but I was able to make this bread without any trouble. It's now my go-to recipe when I need a homemade bread fix.

I always find myself coming back to this recipe when I'm in the mood for a classic white bread. It's so easy to make, and the results are always perfect: a light and airy texture with a slightly crispy crust. I've even had people tell me it's the bes
