The taste of homemade bread is just simply better than store-bought bread! Not to mention it’s preservative-free, inexpensive to make, and doesn’t take a whole lot of time to prepare. And, who can resist the smell of the bread baking in your own home?
Most people are hesitant to make their own bread, afraid of it not turning out the way they anticipated. The truth is that homemade bread shouldn’t taste or look like the bread that you buy at the grocery store. Those pre-packaged breads are made with a ton of preservatives to make their shelf life longer and are made light and airy to increase their industrial profit margins.
As we try to eliminate preservatives in our lives, this homemade white bread recipe is our go to recipe when we want the treat of classic homemade bread.

Knead the dough by hand or by using a dough hook attachment to your mixer.
2. Add the sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough.
3. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes or if using a dough hook knead until the dough comes clean off the sides of the bowl and gathers in a ball around the hook.
4. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2- 2 hours.
5. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough in half.

Enjoy!
