Vegan Bread Machine White Bread

This classic loaf comes together right in the machine, with warm water, a touch of sugar, and bread flour building a soft, stretchy dough that rises into a tall, golden loaf. The yeast does all the heavy lifting here, working through a full rise-and-bake cycle until the top turns deep golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped. There's something deeply satisfying about walking away, letting the machine handle the kneading and timing, and coming back three hours later to a bakery-worthy crumb. Let it rest on a wire rack before slicing so the interior sets up soft and pillowy instead of gummy. It's an easy, hands-off staple to keep in regular rotation on a vegan kitchen counter, whether you're making toast, sandwiches, or just tearing into a warm heel straight off the rack.

Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

1 tsp salt
3 cups bread flour
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)

Instructions

1
Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order listed: water, butter, sugar, salt, bread flour, and yeast. Make a small well in the center of the flour and pour the yeast into it, keeping the yeast away from the salt.
2
Insert the pan into the bread machine, select the Basic or White Bread cycle, choose your preferred crust color (medium is recommended), and press Start. The full cycle will run approximately 3 hours.
