I have a go-to recipe for white bread in my bread machine, but I try other ideas out – and this bread doesn’t contain dry milk, as my go-to recipe does. While I keep dry milk on hand for baking (it’s a great addition to baked goods), many have never used it, much less bought it. And you might also be trying to avoid milk, and it’s great to have recipes on hand for that.
Bread Machine White Bread (Dairy Free)
Ingredients:
- 1¼ cups water
- 2½ Tbsp avocado oil
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp fine sea salt
- 510 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp dry active yeast
Directions:
Add the ingredients in order listed, ending with the yeast on top of the flour, not touching any liquid.
Set the machine for a loaf of standard white bread with a medium crust and, if needed, a 2-pound size.
Check during the first kneading cycle to make sure everything is mixing. The dough should be slightly tacky to the touch.
Remove after baking, and let cool on a rack.
Once fully cooled, store in a sealed bread bag and use within 2 days for best results.
Makes 1 loaf.
Notes:
Zojirushi bread machines warm the ingredients for you, where other brands of bread machines use warm water instead, at the temperature called for, usually around 110*, and stack the ingredients as called for in the manual. Follow your machine’s manual. Items with * should be warmed up if using a standard machine.
