Below is the recipes & a reel of how I make mine – I'm a step by step visual person so I love to see how it's done!
The past winter we had a bout of snow storms come through Tennessee and if you know anything about snow storms in TN you know our stores run out of milk and bread. Why? Who knows… I took it upon myself while being trapped in my house with my husabnd and 5 small children to learn how to make bread! Check out this reel that shows my process!

Most of these items you probably already have in your kithen. These are some of my favorite brands and what I use. I really do think you get a better mix when you use the dough hook/mixer versus mixing by hand!
This obviously isn't a NEED to make this bread, but sharing because I do use the dough hook to mix in my flour. I start at the lowest speed for 2 minute and then up the speed slowly as it automatically forms a dough ball. (Of course I use my KitchenA...

You'll need the small measuring soons for the salt and butter, but the larger cups for flour and honey!
The Pioneer Woman 8-Piece Plastic Measuring Cup and Spoon Set, Multicolor
Listen, I know it's a lot for ONE pan but it's worth it. I have 2 of these and 2 of the cheaper options I'll share in the list as well… and the Wilton ones are SUPERIOR by far. The Maintays were chipping after the first few uses. Get these. If you're...

These are the cheaper options and they work fine, but if you have the option to just get the Wilton ones... do it. ;)
Mainstays Nonstick 9" x 5" x 2.7" Large Bread and Loaf Pan, Meatloaf, Gray
These are a splurge and 100% not needed… but I love them! When I first started making the bread I was using a baby recieving blanket and it worked just fine. I snagged these to see if I would like them and I do! It's nice to keep them in the drawer w...

Ingredients
These are the ingredients I have been using and work specifically for me! If you make the bread and it doesn't rise, make sure your yeast is fresh!
One day I might get fancy enough to mill my own flour… but I just now mastered making my own bread. So until then this Organic, Unbleached option from Cotsco checks all boxes for making my own bread at home!
Kirkland Signature Organic Unbleached All Purpose Flour, 10 lbs, 2-count
You can substitute the ¼ c. of honey for white granulated sugar. I have tried a few times but I prefer the taste of the honey. It's not overly sweet and adds the perfect moisture to the bread. The sugar also make the bread turn a bit browner on top.
Kirkland Signature Wild Flower Honey, 5 lbs
We all probably have salt at home. I figure if I'm ordering flour and honey from Costco, I might as well buy all the ingredients I need!
Kirkland Signature, Pure Sea Salt, 30 oz
Sometimes I'm shock at how much butter we go through as a family of 7! So thankful we have the big box stores that sell me 16 sticks at a time!
Member's Mark Salted Sweet Cream Butter Block, 1 lb., 4 lbs.
If you don't have a Costco membership, I've also made the bread with the Member's Mark bread flower from Sam's Club and it was also delicious! I prefer the unbleached options for health reason, but this is still an excellent choice for trying to make...
Member's Mark Bread & Pizza Flour, 25 lbs.
I almost forgot to add the most important ingredient… YEAST! This is what makes the bread rise and become the fluffy, wonderful sandwhich bread we all know and love!
