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.

- 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.

I hope you love this homemade white bread recipe! Happy Baking, my friends!
How many loaves does a 1x, 2 x or 3x recipe make? I don’t know how many servings are in one loaf so I cant make out how many servings equal one loaf.
Thanks.
I would love to try this recipe but some instructions are incomplete or missing :
– 1 1/2 tbsp heaping yeast – how much is that ?
– What size of bread pan?
– How long is the rise in the bread pans?
I would appreciate more detail please. Thank you
I’m kind of assuming you are joking on the yeast and bread pan questions… but as for rise time.. it’s until its doubled.
Should we let the dough rise again after we put it in the pans? I had 2 problems. The top side blew out and my sides caved in. I think I need more flour but just trying to think of anything else that I may not be doing right
This bread is awesome, and so easy to make, my husband loves it….I make it all the time, thank you.
Can you use all purpose flour.
Hi, Shirley! I make this recipe with AP flour all the time. Actually have a batch mixing right now with AP flour.
I’ve made this recipe at least a dozen times, and it’s deliciously perfect each time. The bread is light and soft, like a fluffy dinner roll, and truly does come together in an hour. A stand mixer makes short work of kneading, but I’ve also kneaded by hand and had the same results. My family loves to be surprised with fresh bread for dinner, but I love morning toast with this loaf even more.
If you don’t have bread flour, make it anyway using All Purpose flour. I’ve made it using both, depending on what flour I have on hand, and it has worked well with either kind of flour.
Love your recipes
What size are the loaf pans – 8 1/2” x 4 1/2” or 9” x 5”?
Waiting for the oven to preheat now. So the dough is in bread pans. I didn’t have any bread flour, so I’m taking my chances worth reg flour. 🤔
I can’t tell you the number of bread recipes on my Pinterest board. And I’ve tried ALL of them. NONE of them are as good and as easy as this! The flavor, the texture is lovely. Dare I say it’s even fool proof? 😀Thank you!!
