The Easiest Bread Machine Recipe for Beginners

Ingredients In this order in the bread machine

• 1 cup warm water

• 4 tbsp vegetable oil

• 1 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp salt

• 3 cups flour

• 1 tsp yeast, the bread machine kind if possible

Don't forget to put in the little knead paddle before you start adding ingredients! Some people take out the paddle before the bread bakes. I just leave it in and cut it out after I've taken the bread out of the pan. I let the bread cool down first before removing the paddle, because yes I have gotten my fingers burned. Thankfully I learned patience!

If the dough feels really sticky during the kneading process, add a tsp of flour one at a time until the dough doesn't stick to your fingers when you touch it. It should be finished baking at around 2 hours. Easy peasy!! I use an Amazon brand bread machine, and it works just fine for me.
