You Honestly Can't Go Wrong With This Classic White Bread Loaf Recipe From TikTok

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pour white bread flour, instant dry yeast, and sugar in a bowl.

2. Add salt and water.

3. Mix together.

4. Flip the dough onto a lightly floured counter top.

5. Knead with your hand, gently pressing the dough out, then folding in half, then rotating 90 degrees and repeating. Do this for 5-10 minutes.

6. When your dough is a smooth and round ball, put it in an oiled bowl. Cover and let rise for 1.5 hours.

7. Remove plastic wrap and gently punch the dough to release air.

8. Flatten the dough, then gently roll it in on itself until you have a long, oval shape. Put it in a 2-pound bread pan. (Note: I had to cut off part of my dough to fit my smaller bread pan.)

9. Cover and let rise for another hour.

10. Sprinkle with flour and use a razor blade or sharp knife to score lines in the top of the bread.

11. Optional: Splash a bit of water in the oven to create steam before putting the bread in.

12. Bake at 410 degrees for 15 minutes, then 345 degrees for 45 minutes.

13. Remove from bread pan, slice, and enjoy!
