🍞 Heavenly Fluffy Homemade White Bread

“So light, it practically floats out of the oven.”

💬 INTRODUCTION

There’s nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread filling the kitchen — warm, yeasty, and cozy. Whether you’re new to baking or a seasoned dough whisperer, this fluffy white bread is a must-know classic.

This loaf is pillowy soft, incredibly light, and yet structured enough for slicing. Perfect for toast, sandwiches, or just eating warm with butter (and maybe a drizzle of honey). It rises tall, bakes golden, and earns compliments before it’s even sliced.

🧾 INGREDIENTS (For 2 tall loaves or 1 extra-large)

🧂 Dry:

6 cups (750g) all-purpose flour (or bread flour for extra strength)
2 tbsp (25g) sugar
2 tsp (10g) salt

💧 Wet:

2¼ tsp (1 packet or 7g) active dry yeast
2½ cups (600ml) warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
2 tbsp (30g) butter or oil (plus extra for brushing)

🧈 Optional Finishes:

Melted butter for brushing the crust
Egg wash for a golden shine (1 egg + 1 tbsp water)

🔬 METHOD / FORMATION

Bread is as much a science as it is an art. Here’s how to form the fluffiest loaf possible:

🔹 Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast.
Stir and let sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy (this means the yeast is alive and ready).

🔹 Step 2: Mix the Dough

Add salt and oil/butter to the yeast mixture.
Gradually add in flour — one cup at a time — mixing with a wooden spoon or dough hook.
Once the dough pulls away from the sides, knead (by hand or mixer) for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

🔄 Windowpane test: Stretch a small piece of dough — if you can see light through it without it tearing, you’re ready.

🔹 Step 3: First Rise

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap.
Let it rise in a warm place for 60–90 minutes, or until doubled in size.

🔹 Step 4: Shape the Dough

Punch down dough to release air.
Divide into 2 equal parts (or keep whole for a jumbo loaf).
Roll each into a log and place into greased 9×5″ loaf pans.

🔹 Step 5: Second Rise

Cover loaves and let rise again for 30–45 minutes, until dough domes slightly over the edge of the pans.

🔹 Step 6: Bake

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake for 28–35 minutes until tops are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

🌡️ Internal temp should be about 195°F (90°C) for done bread.

🔹 Step 7: Cool & Enjoy

Immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a soft crust.
Let cool on a wire rack before slicing (if you can wait that long!).

📜 HISTORY OF WHITE BREAD

White bread has been around since ancient Egypt — where finely sifted flour symbolized wealth and status. In the industrial era, it became a staple due to its long shelf life and soft texture.

Today, homemade white bread is a return to slow food — soft, wholesome, and infinitely better than store-bought. It’s a tradition passed down, reinvented, and loved across cultures.
