This isn’t fancy bread. It doesn’t require any specialty ingredients. This is perfect homemade bread for toasting or sandwiches or snacking with peanut butter or jam. If you’re anything like I was a few years ago, bread making doesn’t come naturally. So, when I decide to bake bread, I like to get a whole lot of bread for the effort. I triple this recipe and make three good-sized loaves with a minimum of fuss, easily enough for my family all week long.
I tried numerous bread recipes in my quest to find a really great homemade bread. From very complicated and lengthy recipes to the extremely simple, this was the first recipe where I finally found success almost ten years ago now! I made this bread several times a month for my first year of breadmaking and I’m confident to tell you that the bread is wonderful. (There are many other bread recipes on this website now, but this one is the most nostalgic for me. Thank you to my brother Karl for sharing this recipe. I owe you! Sliced warm and slathered with honey butter, there is nothing better. Soft, slightly sweet and buttery; this bread is perfect for sandwiches and toast. I loved it. I served this bread for dessert tonight, warm from the oven and topped with honey butter. Truly delicious!
