Easy Homemade Sandwich Bread. If you have never baked homemade bread before, try my step-by-step pictures recipe: you won’t believe how easy it is. You won’t buy sandwich bread anymore. This bread is truly simple and it doesn’t take too much effort to make. You only need a few passages, but it’s worth it. After you make the dough, let it rise for 2 hours. Then flatten it down, roll it out into a rectangle, and let it rise until it double. Bake it for 30 minutes, until golden brown.
Now let’s see together how to make Easy Homemade Sandwich Bread, so let’s get started.
