Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water; add sugar, salt, egg, and oil. Mix with mixer until foamy, just until combined.
- Mix until it forms a dough ball.
- Turn bread over in the bowl and cover.
- Let rise for 1 1/2 hours or until it doubles in size.
- Knead down the dough and place in greased pans; cover and let rise for 1 hour.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your water is warm but not too hot, as high temperatures can kill the yeast. If you don't have all-purpose flour, bread flour can be used for a chewier texture. To enhance flavor, consider adding herbs or garlic powder to the dough. If you're short on time, you can also use a bread machine for the mixing and rising process.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your freshly baked white bread with butter, jam, or as a side to hearty soups and salads. It also makes excellent sandwiches. For a delightful dessert pairing, try it with a slice of Strawberry Meringue Cake for a sweet finish to your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover bread or rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, slice and freeze them in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for about 10-15 minutes, or microwave for about 20-30 seconds until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for active dry yeast. Use the same amount, but there's no need to dissolve it in water first. Just mix it directly with the dry ingredients. This can save you a few minutes in preparation time.
What should I do if my dough doesn’t rise?
If your dough doesn’t rise, it may be due to inactive yeast or cool temperatures. Ensure your yeast is fresh, and try placing the dough in a warm, draft-free area to help it rise better. You can also use a proofing box or the oven with the light on for warmth.
How can I tell when my bread is done baking?
To check if your bread is done, tap the bottom of the loaf; it should sound hollow. Alternatively, you can use a kitchen thermometer; the internal temperature should reach about 190°F. If the crust is too dark, you can cover it with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
