How to Make Easy Homemade Bread in an Oven
Aunt Lou here.
So, I was making this Beefy Crock Pot 4 Bean Soup the other day and knew I wanted to try it with some crusty bread. I thought of it too late to make the crock pot version of this Easy Homemade Bread, so I thought I would try to make it in the oven. The results were delicious!
This bread doesn’t need to rise before baking it and gives you a nice crust. However, since this is a bread that doesn’t rise once or twice, it is not a light and fluffy bread. It is a denser bread with great flavor. My family really loves the flavor of this bread, as do I, but I also love that I can make homemade bread so quickly!

Is this high altitude recipe?
Colo?
It is not. This was made at an elevation of less than 1,000 ft.
Great bread
I’m disabled so kneading by hand isn’t possible. I added wet to dry in my stand mixer for 7 min. med speed. Changed nothing else. My family loved it!
