Ultra-Fluffy Homemade Bread
Introduction
I learned how to make this bread, and I still can’t get over it 😱. It rises a lot and is incredibly fluffy—soft, light, and absolutely irresistible. I sent it to whoever originally shared it because this is one of those recipes that deserves to be passed around!
Description
This bread is tall, airy, and cloud-soft on the inside with a lightly golden crust. Each slice pulls apart beautifully, making it perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoying warm with butter. It’s the kind of bread that makes your kitchen smell amazing and disappears fast.
Ingredients & Quantities
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup warm water or milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
2¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil or melted butter
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the warm liquid, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add oil (or butter) and salt, then gradually mix in the flour.
Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–1½ hours, until doubled or tripled in size.
Punch down the dough, shape as desired, and place in a greased pan.
Let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.
Cool slightly before slicing.
