Let’s get started! Place the oven rack on the lowest rung and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.

And if you want to experience a slice of heaven, slather it down with butter and homemade jam! I sampled my homemade strawberry-rhubarb and apricot jams. So go on – treat yourself and your family. Every loaf you make bumps you up a notch or two on the quality-of-life ladder. So while you may not have the time to make homemade bread every couple of days to keep your kitchen stocked (I know I don’t), the satisfaction you experience by making and eating homemade bread on occasion is beyond worth it. And by only eating store-bought bread we’re sacrificing that wonderful homemade taste that’s simply unbeatable. But that’s not the point, is it? We can buy most anything pre-made and pre-packaged at the store. Probably the main reason, it’s more convenient to just buy it. And it’s sad that many people don’t bother making it. From the time the aroma starts filling the kitchen to the time you sit down to sink your teeth into the soft, chewy texture of the the still warm bread, homemade yeast bread is heaven on earth. A fool-proof recipe for perfectly slice-able white sandwich bread! I don’t think there’s anything quite as comforting as homemade bread.
