There’s just something special about homemade bread that you can’t quite get from a store-bought loaf. The smell of freshly baked bread wafting through the house, the warm and comforting taste of a slice slathered in butter – it’s enough to make anyone’s mouth water. And no one knows homemade bread quite like Grandma.

Grandma’s classic homemade bread recipe has been passed down through generations in our family, and for good reason. It’s a simple recipe that yields a delicious, tender loaf of bread every time. The secret ingredient? Love.

To make Grandma’s classic homemade bread, you’ll need:

– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
– 1/4 cup warm water
– 1 cup warm milk
– 2 tbsp sugar
– 1 tsp salt
– 2 tbsp butter, softened
– 3 cups all-purpose flour

Start by dissolving the yeast in the warm water and letting it sit for a few minutes until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix together the warm milk, sugar, salt, and butter. Add the yeast mixture to the milk mixture and stir to combine.

Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf, placing it in a greased loaf pan.

Cover the loaf with the kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the bread for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.

Once the bread is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and enjoying with your favorite toppings.

Grandma’s classic homemade bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoyed on its own. The smell of this bread baking in the oven will bring back memories of childhood and warm moments spent in the kitchen with loved ones.

So next time you’re craving a warm and comforting slice of bread, why not try Grandma’s classic homemade bread recipe? It’s a tried and true recipe that never fails to impress.
