Easy Sandwich Bread Recipe

Ingredients

Flour: plain/all-purpose (or switch up to half with wholemeal/wholewheat; can use self-raising in place of flour and baking powder)
Baking Powder: gives the bread its rise (skip if using self-raising flour, or substitute with baking soda)
Milk: any type, dairy or non-dairy, fresh or powder (reconstituted), full or no fat (can be substituted with water plus 1 tbsp oil or butter)
Oil: 1/4 cup, any neutral-flavored oil (canola, vegetable, peanut, grapeseed, rapeseed, sunflower, even a light olive oil)
Sugar: 1 tablespoon
Salt: for seasoning

Instructions

Preparation: This bread is like making muffins in terms of process. You’ll start by mixing the dry ingredients, then adding the oil and milk.
Baking: Since the mixture is a thick batter rather than a kneadable dough, use a loaf pan to maintain shape. If you don’t have a loaf pan, a well-greased muffin tin works too (bake for about 20 minutes at 180°C/350°F).
Baking Time: It takes about 50 minutes in the oven. To achieve a golden brown crust without making it too thick or dark, bake half the time uncovered, then cover for the remainder.
Cooling: For optimal slicing and to prevent crumbling, allow the bread to cool completely before cutting into it. On Day 2, it slices perfectly.
Serving: Use like any regular sandwich bread—for sandwiches, toast, grilled cheese, or even French toast.

Storage

Freshness: Homemade breads are best enjoyed the day they’re made, but this recipe remains quite good into the next day, especially thanks to the oil which keeps the crumb moist. After that, a brief toasting will refresh it.
Freezing: Freezes very well, ensuring you can enjoy it for weeks.
