In this article, we’ll walk you through how to make a basic bread using just a few pantry staples: flour, water, and milk. Along the way, I’ll share tips from my grandmother and some variations to make the bread your own.
Ingredients for Basic Bread:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (you can use whole wheat flour or a mix of both for a healthier version)
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F, to activate the yeast)
- 1/2 cup milk (whole milk works best, but you can also use plant-based milk)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, helps to activate yeast)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for a richer dough)
That’s it! The beauty of this bread is that it requires very few ingredients, but the result is soft, flavorful bread that can be used for sandwiches, toast, or served alongside soups and stews.
