Servings: 6 | Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
2 cups warm water
3 cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 tsp salt
Olive oil (for greasing the pan)
Directions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the active dry yeast and warm water. Stir until the yeast is dissolved. Add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Mix everything together until the dough is well combined and no dry flour remains.
Shape and Rise:
Lightly grease an 8×4-inch bread loaf pan with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Set the pan aside and let the dough rise for about 20 minutes, or until it has slightly puffed up.
Preheat the Oven:
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the Bread:
Once the dough has risen, place the loaf pan in the preheated oven. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool and Serve:
Remove the bread from the oven and carefully take it out of the loaf pan. (You may need to run a thin spatula or knife around the edges to loosen it.) Transfer the bread to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Tips for Success:
For a softer crust, brush the top of the bread with melted butter immediately after baking.
Store the bread in an airtight container or bag to keep it fresh for up to 3 days.
Experiment with different flours, such as using all bread flour or adding seeds for extra texture.
Enjoy your homemade Easy No-Knead Sandwich Bread—warm, fresh, and perfect for any meal!
