Simple White Bread Recipe

April 14, 2020 by Heather Ingram

This is a really easy recipe to make a staple pantry item without having to brave the grocery stores. You can do it with a standing mixer or your hands with a little extra elbow grease. You can freeze these loaves for later, and if you have kids at home this is a great activity to get them involved in the kitchen too!

Ingredients:

  • One packet (or about 2Tbsp) of Active Dry Yeast
  • 2 ¼ cups warm water
  • 2 ½ Tbsp white sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil (can substitute vegetable oil)
  • 6 cups of all-purpose flour

(you can substitute any other flours of your choice)

  • Dried fruit and grains (optional to mix into the dough)

Instructions:

Serving Size: three loaves                 Preheat Oven: 350°                                        Time: 25-35 minutes

  1. Pour your warm water into your bowl and add in the active dry yeast and sugar. Make sure to let the mixture sit for about 4 minutes or until there is a nice foamy layer of bubbles on the surface.
    • Tip – monitor the temperature of your water. Too hot and it will kill the yeast, too cold and there won’t be much action. You want a nice lukewarm temperature.
  2. Attach the whisk attachment to your mixer if using a standing machine or break out the traditional whisk if doing by hand. Mix in the salt, oil, and one cup of flour until well incorporated and smooth.
  3. Switch out your whisk for the bread hook attachment if using a standing mixer or throw some flour on your hands and use that elbow grease. Begin adding flour one cup at a time until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and is able to be worked without sticking to your fingers too much. In a standing mixer it will easily and cleanly fall of the hook without leaving too much residue. Approximately 7 minutes in a mixer at medium-low speed; add more time for hand mixing.
  4. Knead your dough on a lightly floured surface until a smooth. Fold into a ball and cut into thirds. Place each of your three dough balls into their own lightly oiled bowls. Cover the bowls loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 30 minutes or doubled in size.
  5. Dump your risen dough back onto a floured surface and knead a second time. This is also where you can add dried fruit, grains, and anything else you would like. Just make a slight impression in the center of the dough with your fist and pour all your toppings into the impression. Then fold them into the dough until well incorporated. It’s okay if some fall out.
    • Tip – I like to use dried apricots, chia seeds, and whole oats!
  6. Free form your dough onto well oiled baking sheets or place in well-oiled loaf pans and let them rise a second time for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
    • Tip – To get the nice ridges in your loaves you can score the dough with a knife by lightly cutting lines into the surface of the dough.
  7. Place in oven at 350° for 25-35 minutes or until tops are slightly golden brown. Enjoy!

I love this place. Office is super helpful for scheduling and payments. I do all my appointments online. My counselor Raymund Begaye is always professional and helpful, and offers different therapies including talk therapy and EMDR. Counseling with Ray has improved my quality of life and ability to handle, and enjoy (!), my life.

I have dealt with 2 therapists in the past, and I can tell you from experience that Raymund Begaye is world class. He has all the wisdom, grace and savvy of Hannibal Lector without the cannibalistic tendencies. Always selfless, supportive, and non judgemental, meeting Raymund has been a huge blessing in my life. I know from the bottom of my heart that he got into this business because he cares about people and the human element. He also thinks outside of the box. His knowledge and ability to conduct EMDR sessions have been pure gold. I was skeptical at first about EMDR, but after several sessions with Raymund I can honestly say past traumatic experiences that have kept me in a state of bondage, are not as intense as they once were. Raymund is a true American hero in many ways. He saved many lives fighting for our great country, and he continues to save lives by providing hope to the hopeless.

I've been seeing Ray for over 3 years now. He has helped me work through so much of my trauma. We started with talk therapy and it was a big help. As we opened up through my past traumas, we utilized the EMDR therapy, and let me tell you, it works wonders. I'm not sure of the exact science behind why EMDR works but I promise it does. I've come along way from the start of my therapy journey. Ray is very patient, understanding, and even when you think he doesn't get it, he does. He's always been very reassuring and has let me ease into dealing with my past. I think I found my therapist for life because before him, I had gone through several therapists that never made me feel like I'm being heard. I would recommend the EMDR therapy to anyone. Thanks InMindOut for employing such a wonderful therapist. Please don't let him go anywhere lol.

My therapist has been Ray B since fall of 2021. I was diagnosed with PTSD after the death of my husband. We were together 24 years and have a son. I know I'm alive today thanks to God and Ray. His techniques, patience, experience, care, effort, ideas and many more I can't think of, have been amazing. Ray is a blessing in my life.
