Soft, fluffy, and incredibly easy to make, this Bread in a Bag recipe is perfect for beginners and fun for the whole family. No mixer needed — just shake, knead, and bake!
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Step 1 — Mix the Ingredients
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine:
- 1 cup flour
- Yeast
- Sugar
- Salt
Shake the bag to mix everything together.
Step 2 — Add Liquids
Pour the warm water and vegetable oil into the bag.
Seal the bag and squeeze gently until well combined.
Step 3 — Add Remaining Flour
Add the remaining flour gradually, mixing and kneading through the bag until a soft dough forms.
If the dough becomes too stiff, remove it from the bag and knead lightly on a floured surface for about 5 minutes.

Place the dough into a greased loaf pan or small foil baking pans.
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30–45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
