Miracle One Hour White Bread is a homemade, made-from-scratch bread recipe made in one hour.
There’s nothing quite like homemade baked bread. I recently discovered that making homemade bread doesn’t have to be a long, time-consuming process. It can actually be easy! You can actually make delicious homemade bread in no time at all. It is a miracle!
I told you about my darling friend, Stephanie’s daughter, Hayley, who is quite the cook like her Mom. She put together a cookbook of her family recipes and this is one of them. I wondered if you could truly make bread in less than one hour and was convinced after trying this recipe. I love that my kids can even make this bread and use it for their lunches at school.
I am sharing tips and tricks on how you can make homemade bread at home in 60 minutes. You are going to impress some people big time!
Tips for making Miracle One Hour Homemade White Bread:
- Let your YEAST PROOF. The key is to use very warm water (about 110 degrees). Adding sugar to the yeast helps it proof even faster. Let the yeast proof for at least 5 minutes. Remember to always use fresh yeast. You will know the yeast is working when it starts to form a creamy foam on the surface.
- Use BREAD FLOUR. Bread Flour has a higher gluten and protein content so it will create a chewier and allows the bread to rise even higher.
- Use a STAND MIXER. This bread recipe is easiest with a stand mixer such as a Bosch mixer. You can find a good deal on a Bosch mixer, by clicking HERE. This is a huge time saver as you knead the bread for 5 minutes in the mixer. It saves you from doing it yourself! If you don’t own a stand mixer, you can knead the bread dough by hand.
- Let RISE in a WARM PLACE. This expedites the rising process. If you live in a very cold climate, you can always set the oven to about 200 degrees and let the bread rise for approximately 20 minutes or until double in size. Here are my favorite loaf pans.
- BAKE until GOLDEN BROWN. Heat the oven to 350 degrees and bake until golden on the outside. Remove from oven and spread butter over top of loaves to give moisture and shine.
* Once you remove the hot homemade bread from the oven, remove from pans and spread with butter and jam.

Miracle One Hour White Bread
Ingredients
- 2 cups Very Warm Water
- 1 1/2 Tablespoon heaping Instant Yeast
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Oil
- 4 3/4 - 5 1/4 cups White Bread Flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
- Place warm water in large mixing bowl. Add yeast and stir. Stir in sugar and let proof (start to form a creamy foam) for 5 minutes.
- Add oil, flour, and salt. Begin by adding half of the flour. Start to mix using the dough hook. Add remaining flour until dough pulls away from sides of mixing bowl. Using Bosch or Kitchenaid, knead for 5 minutes at medium-high speed. If you don't own a stand mixer, you can knead by hand.
- Cover the dough in the bowl with a dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place for 25 minutes or until double in size.
- Tip: If you live in a cold place, you may place in a warm oven. Set oven to 200 degrees, turn off, and then place dough in an ovenproof bowl in the oven and let rise.
- Place oil on hands and shape into two bread loaves. Spray loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden.
- Once bread is done, remove from oven and spread butter all over warm loaves. Let cool for several minutes before removing from pan.

I hope you love this homemade white bread recipe! Happy Baking, my friends!
This is my favourite bread recipe. I tend to sub oil for melted butter to give it more flavour and use AP flour. My family loves this bread.
This is my first time making bread from scratch. It turned out great and was very quick to get together. Thanks for sharing.
Came out fantastic. Quick and easy. I used a extra tablespoon of yeast. After the first rise, it said you could go straight to the oven. I let it proof an extra 15 minutes on the counter while the oven was heating. It baked exactly 25 minutes. Definitely keeping the recipe. The texture was really light and airy. Perfect to suck in the butter and honey.
Made this yesterday and I was surprised at the rise and texture of the bread. This will now be a part of my regular recipe repertoire.
Daily go toofor the family. Easy fast no 12 to 16 hrs rest mix and right in the oven smells great and taste even better, thanks for sharing !
i did a second 20 minute proof and then baked as directed. delicious
I don’t buy bread flour.
Can ap be used
Hi Cam! Yes you can use AP flour. However the bread may turn out a bit softer and less chewy because of the lower gluten content and not rise as high but it will still be great. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
