Chestnut Free Bread Machine White Bread

There is something deeply satisfying about pulling a golden, perfectly risen loaf out of a bread machine, and this classic white bread delivers every single time. Store-bought sandwich loaves can be a minefield when you're avoiding tree nuts, since shared production lines and vague labeling make even simple bread feel risky. This recipe keeps things refreshingly straightforward — just water, butter, sugar, salt, bread flour, and yeast, with absolutely nothing to second-guess. You add the ingredients in order, let the machine do its thing on the Basic or White Bread cycle, and come back to a beautifully browned loaf that sounds hollow when you tap it. The tip about keeping the yeast away from the salt is a small detail that makes a real difference in the rise, giving you that soft, airy crumb you want in a classic white loaf. Letting it cool on a wire rack before slicing is worth the patience — it keeps the texture light and springy rather than gummy. Whether you're making sandwiches, toast, or just eating a warm slice with butter, this is the kind of dependable, from-scratch bread that earns a permanent spot in your weekly routine.
