Easy Homemade White Bread is dairy-free and egg-free. It comes together with six simple ingredients and a little bit of patience.
As a food blogger, I'm always trying to learn new ways to cook something or how to tweak a recipe to make it allergy-friendly. My first ever blog post was homemade bagels, and I think back to it often. I have always been obsessed with bagels, I have the time to learn how to cook what I want, so why not give it a try?
When I successfully made homemade bagels, I think that's when I got hooked. Because I realized being in the kitchen doesn't have to mean slaving away for hours, it can be fun and experimental! When it dawned on me that I could probably figure out a way to make homemade white bread, I had to at least try it out.
Thankfully, it worked! And better yet, it was SO EASY. I honestly can't believe I waited so long to try it out. I'm not sure there's any better smell than fresh bread baking. The hardest part was waiting long enough for it to cool so I could have my first bite!
If you're looking for a light and fluffy bread recipe, here you go! You don't need a bread machine, just an oven. I use my stand mixer to make kneading easier, but I'm sure you could put some elbow grease into it and yield the same results. If you make this bread, I'd love to see your results, make sure to comment or post on social using the hashtag #TheUrbenLife

Homemade bread is one of my very favorite things. I totally agree that it doesn't have to be tricky. I also just use my kitchen aid mixer! Yours looks so yuuuum!

Oh yes, I don't know what I'd do without my KichenAid stand mixer

It says bake for "3 minutes." I'm assuming that was supposed to be 30?
