Homemade White Bread Ingredients
- 2 Packets of dry active yeast (4 ½ teaspoon)
- 3 ½ Cups warm water, divided
- ¼ Cup granulated white sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened and cubed
- 9 Cups all purpose flour
- Melted butter for brushing
How to Make Homemade White Bread
In a large mixing bowl combine yeast and ¾ cups of warm water and allow to proof for 5 minutes.
Once proofed add in the sugar, salt, butter and remaining 2 2/3 cups water and blend until combined.
Gradually add in 5 cups of flour and mix on low until smooth.
Using a dough hook attachment or by hand, add in remaining 4 cups of flour and knead for 10 minutes.
Place dough in a large bowl coated with non-stick spray or butter and cover. Allow to rest for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, punch dough down and divide into 2 loaves.
Place dough into two 9 inch loaf pans that are greased and allow to rest for 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bake uncovered for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes cover loaves with aluminum foil to prevent over browning and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Remove loaves from oven and brush tops with melted butter. Allow to cool for 1 hour before slicing.

Thanks!! Shared…..&
where it says in recipe ” using a dough hook attachment or by hand, add in remaining dough” – is it referring to adding in remaining flour, because so far it has only called for using 5c. of flour out of the 9 c. it says we will need or am I not reading recipe correct. Please any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Can’t wait to try this. Thank you for your help and the recipe.
it is a little confusing but you add the remaining four cups in and then it kneads for 10 min. That is what I did and it turned out great.
first of all, this looks very easy to make…I am gonna try it, secondly, grammatical error on the amount of flour, or is it? when you say the remaining dough, does it mean the remaining flour?
