How to Make Homemade Wonder Bread
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon active dry yeast, 1/4 cup (60ml) warm water (105-115°F), and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Let stand for 15 minutes until foamy.
- Add the following ingredients to the yeast mixture, mixing according to your bread machine's instructions: 1 cup (240ml) warm milk, 1/4 cup (60ml) unsalted butter, melted, 1 large egg, 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Select the 'basic' or 'light crust' setting on your bread machine. If your machine doesn't have these settings, select a setting that is close and check your bread at the end for doneness.
- Once the baking cycle is complete, gently remove the bread from the machine. For an extra-soft crust, brush the top with melted butter and place the warm loaf in a zip-top bag to cool.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
