Homemade Sandwich Bread
A few years ago, I decided it was time to stop buying store-bought bread and start making homemade sandwich bread regularly. My husband Alex came up with this recipe which ticks all the boxes for a bread recipe: it’s easy to make, uses simple ingredients, and comes out soft and fluffy with a tender crumb, perfect for sandwiches or toast!
Alex and I tested this recipe so many times to get the texture just right, and the final bread has a soft, pillowy texture that stays tender and moist for days! When first we posted this recipe on social media, readers went crazy and started sending us photos of their loaves. Here’s how to make one for yourself!
