This is the easiest one-loaf yeast bread you will ever bake. The Super Easy Bread for Beginners recipe produces a soft crust and a moist center using the most basic ingredients that can be found in most kitchens.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1-1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp vegetable shortening
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, approximately

PREPARATION:

  1. In small bowl, add the warm water. Slowly stir in dry yeast. Continue to stir until yeast is dissolved. Set aside.

  2. In large bowl add salt, sugar, shortening, and milk. Stir.

  3. Add yeast water. Stir.

  4. Mix in 2-1/2 cups of flour. Turn dough out onto floured board and knead in the remaining flour until the dough is firm and smooth, not sticky.

  5. Put dough in buttered bowl, turn dough over so that the top of dough is greased. Cover and let rise in warm spot for 1 hour.

  6. Punch down dough. Turn out onto floured board and knead.
