Bread is one of my favorite things to make. I use bread making as a form of therapy. This Thrifty Homemade Sandwich Bread is a good example of that. You need very few ingredients to make this bread – mainly flour and yeast. And some time and patience while the dough rises!
Start by mixing yeast with sugar and hot water. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook, mix the yeast mixture with flour, oil, and salt to form a dough. Leave the dough to rise and double before shaping it into a loaf. Leave to rise again before baking. Once cool, this bread is ready to use with your favorite sandwich fillings!
To make the Thrifty Homemade Sandwich Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
Mix 1 cup of hot water with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2¾ teaspoons of yeast. Leave for about 10 minutes while the yeast "blooms".
Transfer the yeast mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer.
Add ¼ cup of vegetable oil, 1½ teaspoons of salt and add the flour, one cup at a time, while mixing with the dough hook. Mix for a few minutes until dough sticks to the bread hook and doesn't stick to the bowl. Continue to mix the dough for 3-4 minutes more after the non-sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough ball to a large bowl and cover with a light kitchen towel. Leave the dough to rise for approximately 90 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
Once the dough has doubled in size, place it on a lightly floured surface. Punch the air out of the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a lightly oiled loaf tin and cover loosely with plastic wrap.
Leave the loaf for one hour until it rises to almost double its size.
Preheat oven to 350 °F.
Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until golden on top.
Enjoy with your favorite sandwich fillings!
