The easiest and fastest bread recipe, sliced bread recipe has a certain risk and that is, once you make your own bread and try it, you will never want to buy industrial bread again. It’s great to be able to control each ingredient that we add to the bread and, above all, to do it to our liking, being able to add nuts, seeds… to the dough.
Homemade sliced bread is very easy to make and you just have to be patient for it to ferment properly and thus get that tender and delicious crumb.
To keep homemade sliced bread in perfect condition, it is best to cut it into slices and freeze them, separating each slice with baking paper so that they do not stick together. Afterwards, we just have to take the bread out of the freezer and leave it at room temperature, so we will always have it as freshly made.

How to make sliced bread
Mix the 300 g of strong wheat flour and the 25 g of baker’s yeast, and put them in the bowl where we are going to knead.
Add the 170 ml of whole milk, the 50 g of melted butter, the 7 grams of salt and the 20 g of honey. Knead well for 5-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
When the dough is elastic and shiny, we stop kneading and form a ball. Let it rest for a few minutes while we grease the pan. In our case, we use a 23 cm long by 9 cm wide mold.
Remove the dough from the bowl and stretch with your hands until you get a rectangle approximately 1 cm thick.
Roll the dough on itself.
When we have the rolled dough, we put it in the mold and let it ferment until it reaches the edge of the mold. At that time, we preheat the oven to 180 ºC and bake for 30 minutes.
Once baked, let the bread rest for about 10 minutes and cover with a cloth so that the crust is soft. Let cool completely with the cloth. Once cold, we can now taste our homemade sliced bread.
