Softest Ever Bread Machine Bread

This really was a great soft white bread! It came out so fluffy and soft in the middle. It was delicious! I will use this recipe again for my bread machine. If any others have to set the lb's on their machines like I have to. This make a 1.5 lb loaf. Thanks for the recipe!

I have noticed on a few recipes that people have said the addition of oil to their recipes has left them with an "off" taste. Please as with an other ingredient make sure that you are not using old oil. Oil will turn rancid under certain conditions or with time. Hope this helps. I will be trying the recipe soon. It sounds wonderful :)

Wow. I very rarely write reviews,.....but just had to here. I've tried multiple recipes in my bread machine,.....all of them turning out tasty, but "heavy" and denser than I'd like. I came across this recipe and decided to give it a whirl. Am VERY glad I did. Light bread! Tasty Bread! This has moved to the TOP of my bread machine "go-to" listing. I recommend this recipe! Give it a try to test it out. I'm guessing you'll be glad you did.

Delicious! **Update 6/6/11: I always use 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt.

I bought my breadmaker out of storage on Friday and made a loaf using a Hovis mix designed for bread making machines. It was heavy and the crust was very think. I was very disappointed with the results. I thought that maybe it was the breadmaker, I have a Classic Russell Hobbs, and considered buying a new machine. This morning I had some time to hand and looked on the internet for a recipe to make fluffy breadmaker bread. I can upon this recipe and thought I may as well give it a go before buying a new breadmaker. The result was great. The bread is light and fluffy and the crust is golden and crunchy. It is by far the best loaf I've ever made using a breadmaker. Thank you so much for sharing. :-)

Excellent recipe. I used Robin Hood Multi Grain Flour and it still makes a lovely soft bread, and surprisingly last a few days without drying out. Very, very tasty. My new favorite!

Best bread I've ever made!!! I was going to put the ingredients in the machine according to it's manual, instead of the recipe, but decided at the last minute to follow the recipe exactly. It turned out great. Very soft. The taste (and smell) was wonderful too. I would not change a thing.

Simple recipe! Baked in the oven came out great! Chicken salad sandwiches were very good with the fresh baked soft bread.

Excellent recipe. I made it with the following substitutes: warm milk instead of water, butter instead of vegetable oil. I also added some fresh ground pepper, oregano, onions, and garlic powder! Yummy! Very light and fluffy...just what I was looking for in a bread machine recipe!

OH WOW!!! This is the best recipe I have found on the internet. It is so soft and flaky. I've been experimenting with sourdough but Its a little tricky and time consuming so I tossed the recipe in the garbage and went back to this one. I have a question though? My new machine is coming today and Its one that bakes the bread horizontal and has 2 kneading paddles and the reviews say because it makes wide loafs and not tall ones its best to use a recipe thats for 2 or 2 1/2 pounds. This recipes is for 1 1/2 pound loaf, how much extra ingredients per item would i add for a 2 or 2 1/2 pound loaf would I add? I was using a sourdough recipe from King Arthur flour and asked them how much more from there 1.5 loaf to a 2 pound would I add they told me to add 1/2 of a cup or tsp. to all ingredients. So I hope you still check your page so I can continue to use this fabulous recipe. Because of our bread machine and loving bread I take lots of carb blockers and exercise. (-:

@ Silent Rain: Also for oil, I find that canola oil gets a fishy flavor when it is heated. So if anyone thinks something tastes a little "off" and you're using canola oil, you might try the same recipe with another oil.

I know it doesn't need another 5 star review, but it really was great, light and not as dense as most of the recipes. Much better for sandwiches. I made Hot Pastrami Baked Sandwiches with it - made for a fun meal. Thanks KC!

I joined the site just to review this recipe - by far the most amazingly soft bread I have ever made! I have tweaked it just a bit by substituting honey for the white sugar, replacing one cup of bread flour with white wheat and using olive oil. Once I started using the olive oil instead of canola, I swear the bread got even softer. I either bake it as a loaf or shape it into sandwich buns. We LOVE this bread, and it is a staple in our pantry. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

Hands down a clear winner for best, tastiest, and softest bread in existence! Can't get much easier, unless you go to the store and buy it. You will LOVE this bread. I prefer to make in bread machine and finish off in oven, just for own personal preference. This is indeed everything that it suggests. Excellent! Thanks, K!

made per these instructions with the following changes:
replaced 1 tablespoon oil with 1 tablespoon butter,
added 2 tablespoon dry milk & 1 more tablespoon sugar to the flour.
Basic setting, no preheat, on my zojirushi and removed paddles after last knead.
Best bread ever, great flavor, so soft and tender, wife loves it.
I did preheat the pan before starting

So, I got a new bread machine for Christmas. It came with a cookbook. I followed the manufacturer's directions to the letter....and the bread failed. It was dense and ugly. So, we thought maybe we didn't use hot enough water....so we followed the directions again, liquids, dry ingredients, and then yeast. The bread was even worse this time!!! I was feeling rather discouraged, and Jim decided to go on the internet to see if he could find a better White Bread Recipe....and he happened upon this one! WHAT A CHANGE!! Light, fluffly, tasty bread! Thank you thank you thank you! I know your manufacturer tells you what order to put the ingredients in, but it doesn't work. At least for this recipe, follow the recipe exactly......and I know you won't be disappointed and will be making bread daily (more than daily?! :-) ) once you try this recipe!!

This has become my family's favorite recipe for bread, and for making rolls too! I make it both completely in my machine, and also use the dough setting only. It turns out wonderful both ways! Thanks for sharing this with all of us!
