Bread in a Bag!

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp yeast (instant or active dry)
• ½ tsp salt
• ⅓ cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
• 1 Tbsp oil (vegetable, canola, or olive oil)

Steps

1. Add flour, sugar, yeast, and salt to a large Ziploc bag.
2. Pour in the warm water and oil. Seal the bag (press out most of the air).
3. Knead the bag for 3–5 minutes until a soft dough forms.
4. Let out the air, reseal the bag, and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
5. Remove the dough from the bag, shape it into a small loaf, and place it on a greased baking sheet or in a small loaf pan.
6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.

Tips

• Use a gallon-size Ziploc bag so you have room to knead.
• The dough will be a bit sticky at first — that’s normal.
• For a shinier crust, brush the top with a little melted butter or milk before baking.
• This makes a small single-serving loaf. Double the recipe if you want a bigger one (just use a bigger bag or two bags).

Enjoy your easy homemade bread!
