The stuff at the grocery is an injustice to the name Bread. Real bread is soft, warm, chewy, moist, and amazing. This recipe is just that.
Combine water, salt, sugar, oil, and yeast. Add 1-1/4 cup flour. Stir together. It will still be on the soupy side. Allow to sit in a warm place, covered with a towel. Allow this to rise until around double in size, anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes.
Using the remaining 1/4 cup to flour a work surface, slowly knead in the remaining 1-1/4 cup flour. It shouldn’t take long, just enough for the flour to be thoroughly incorporated. Form the dough into a nice ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover and allow to rise like before, doubling in size.
Place in a greased bread pan. Allow the bread to rise one last time until it peaks above the pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 – 45 minutes. If you prefer a less brown crust, tent some foil over it for the last few minutes of baking.

I am so happy I finally found the perfect recipe for bread. This is so easy to make and it’s so delicious! Thank you!
I have made this recipe twice now and it is wonderful! I have used several other recipes in the past and this has a much better taste. I am at a high altitude and add a little gluten.

There is kneading required, but only a small amount. Just enough to incorporate the second amount of flour.
I’ll clarify that in the recipe.

No kneading required for this?
