While homemade bread wasn&#8217;t something my mom would make regularly, it would make an appearance in our house about once a year. Usually, that would be in early autumn, after visiting a pumpkin patch, where she would inevitably buy a jar of homemade apple butter. I enjoyed the apple butter, but more than that, I knew this would inspire her to bake a loaf of homemade bread, which was the best part.<\/p>\n<p>Making these mini white bread loaves will fill your home with a bakery aroma and result in a perfectly soft loaf of bread with a deliciously crispy crust. What&#8217;s really special about this recipe is that each small loaf of bread is perfectly sized for the dinner table. Serve it with homemade soup or stew, and you have the perfect accompaniment to a hearty dinner.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for a Mini Bread Loaf<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Yeast:<\/strong> A single packet of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-use-yeast\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-use-yeast\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">active dry yeast<\/a> will give rise to these mini bread loaves, resulting in a light and airy texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Granulated white sugar serves several purposes in this recipe. The most obvious effect of adding sugar is it sweetens the dough, making the finished product slightly less earthy. Sugar is also hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb water from its surroundings. In a bread recipe, the sugar will absorb and hold liquid, producing a less dry loaf of bread. Finally, sugar feeds the yeast. When the yeast feed on the sugars in the dough, they produce carbon dioxide bubbles, which make the bread rise and give it the light, airy texture we want in white bread.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> All-purpose flour works well for this bread recipe. However, there are several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-flour-and-when-to-use-them\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-flour-and-when-to-use-them\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">types of flour<\/a> that will alter the structure or texture of the final product.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> Whole milk has more milkfat, which creates a softer crumb, adds moisture and flavor, and produces a richer tasting bread dough.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Adding melted butter to a bread recipe will tenderize the dough and limit the gluten development, which yields softer, less chewy results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prep the yeast<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2054755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mini_Bread_Loaf_TOHD24_1202_KaylaWidmer_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Oberhead shot for Taste Recipes Mini Bread Loaf, yeast mixture bubbling in a large mixing bowl.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kayla Blydenburgh for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, and mix until the sugar dissolves.

Mix the ingredients for three minutes on medium speed, using a food processor or stand mixer, until dough begins to form. Add the remaining flour in small batches while mixing, until a soft dough ball has formed.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Knead the dough, let it rise<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2054757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mini_Bread_Loaf_TOHD24_1202_KaylaWidmer_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Oberhead shot for Taste Recipes Mini Bread Loaf, bread doubled in size with linen on top.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kayla Blydenburgh for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and knead it until it becomes smooth and elastic, six to eight minutes.

Roll and shape the dough, place it into the bread pans and bake as directed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make a fruit-and-nut loaf:<\/strong> Add raisins, crushed walnuts, dried cranberries, dates or pecans while kneading the dough, then proceed with the recipe as directed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store a Mini Bread Loaf<\/h2>\n<p>These baked mini loaves can be covered with plastic or placed into zip-top bags and stored in the pantry or on the counter for up to two days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze mini bread loaves?<\/h3>\n<p>You certainly can. In fact, we recommend doubling the recipe so you&#8217;ll have a couple loaves to use right away, and a couple to freeze. For the best results, wrap the bread in plastic, then foil, and place it in the freezer for up to two months.<\/p>\n<h2>Mini Bread Loaf Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2054760\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mini_Bread_Loaf_TOHD24_1202_KaylaWidmer_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Beauty shot for Taste Recipes Mini Bread Loaf, baked bread with melted butter on a plate.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kayla Blydenburgh for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What if I don&#8217;t have a mini bread pan?<\/h3>\n<p>You can still make mini white bread despite not having small loaf pans. Substitute the loaf pans with an oven-safe pot, a small baking crock or a Dutch oven. Line the pot with parchment paper to ensure the bread can easily be removed after baking.<\/p>\n<h3>Do these mini white bread loaves make good French toast?<\/h3>\n<p>If you have any bread left over the morning after baking it, try this recipe for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/the-best-french-toast\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/the-best-french-toast\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best-ever French toast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use whole wheat flour?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely! Just follow the recipe, but substitute whole wheat flour for the all-purpose. Be prepared to add more water to the dough than the original recipe calls for, because whole wheat flour will absorb more liquid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few things are more comforting than opening your front door and getting hit by the aroma of freshly baked bread.
