Easy Bread Machine Recipe

The smell of fresh bread is well worth the five minutes of preparation needed to make this easy bread recipe. Don’t have a bread machine? Why not? If cost is holding you back, start visiting your local thrift stores and pick one up for less than ten dollars, just be sure it has a pan and beater inside before you hand over your cash.

1.5 teaspoons salt
2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups of flour
1 cup warm water

  3. Enjoy.
