The Perfect Homemade Bread | One Handed Bread Recipe (I broke my thumb )

- The easiest, no-fail bread recipe. Growing up, I loved homemade bread, fresh out of the oven. It wasn't always perfect, and alot of times it was too crumbly for sandwiches, but we loved it. Since then, I have made alot of different types of bread and bread recipes, and this is my go to loaf bread. It is quick, doesn't require a starter, and the texture is light, fluffy, and holds together perfectly every time. I hope you love this as much as my family does!
3.5 cups bread flour, 2.5 cups whole wheat flour (4 and 2 if using fresh ground whole wheat)
2 cups warm water (110F)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/8 cup sugar
3 TBSP honey
1 1/2 tbsp yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
Take warm water around 110F and add in sugar and honey. Stir to combine and add in yeast set aside and cover for around 5 minutes. Sift together your bread flour and whole wheat flour. Add 3 cups to your mixer bowl. Check your water and yeast mixture, it should have a layer of thick foam on top, if so, add into the mixer bowl. Stir in the olive oil and salt. Stir in the remaining flour 1-1 1\2 cups at a time. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth (should take a few minutes, but don't overknead). Rub dough all over to coat with olive oil. Place in a large bowl, cover with wet towel or plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled around 1 hour. Knead again for a couple minutes, divide and shape into 2 loaves, and place into well oiled loaf pans (9x5) Cover with a wet cloth and let rise around 1/2 hour in a warm place. While bread rises, preheat oven to 350. I bake for 27 minutes, then turn bread to brown evenly for around 3-5 more minutes but don't overbake. You just want that deep golden brown. Remove from oven , rub tops generously with a stick of butter, and let sit a couple minutes, then remove from pans carefully and let cool.
Enjoy and impress your friends and family!

🙋🙋🙋
Me. You know it's going to be another keeper recipe
Me!
😅 yes!
I do
First of all, the bread looks so beautiful! Talk about mouth watering, holy geezzz! Great job Zach, thanks again, hope your thumb heals fast.
Thank you!!! And I’m hoping so as well!
My 8 year old son has Cerebral Palsy and absolutely loved watching you do this with one hand! His right hand has no motor function. Thank you so much for making this video!
That just made my day! So glad he enjoyed it!
@@Thebateskitchen You made his day! Him and I are going to make this later on together. I hope you have a blessed Independence Day.
If you ever need to buy new bread pans USA Bread Pans are the best!! You don’t even need to oil them, the bread falls right out in a perfect loaf. Non toxic too. Nice job with one hand! I bet it smelled delicious in your kitchen! Speedy healing.❤
I love non toxic cooking materials!
The look on your face when they fell out of the pan perfectly was priceless! I know that look, when I make a lot of zucchini bread & it falls out perfect, it's a relief and makes me so happy. 😂
Normally if something is gonna mess up, it does on camera! I was pretty happy!!!😃
Question: Is Whitney is behind the camera? If so, you should consider interacting with each other like you normally would if she was hanging out with you in the kitchen. A TH-cam channel “The Papa’s Kitchen” has grandma behind the camera. You should check it out. There is something magical about you and Whitney together. She doesn’t have to be seen, but if she’s behind the camera, it wouldn’t hurt to interact with each other. As a matter fact I think it would be a good thing. P.S. It wouldn’t bother us if we heard your kids in the background either. They are adorable.
Great idea! I’d love to hear him & Whitney interact, but I think she takes kids somewhere when he videos these.
I think his brother in law- Evan - does the videography. And does a greats job too.
Ah yes😊 The Papa, love them! 😊❤
Whitney is amazing, but it’s actually the media team from Wallace real estate behind the camera and doing the editing!
@@Thebateskitchen Oh that’s interesting. They do a terrific job!
First, you need a bread knife!! Second, how about a short series on sourdough…from the process of a starter, maintenance of starter, then using it for bread and pancakes etc? I like your clear explanations. ❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
Erin has done a video on sourdough on her and Chad's channel. It was super informative, I recommend watching. ☺
@@theunimportant196I didn’t know she had a channel! I’ll go look for it. Thanks!
I’ve got a bread knife I’m just not great left handed! Sourdough is great, but a lot of times my busy schedule wouldn’t keep up well with a starter! I’ve not done a lot of sourdough since I lived with my parents, but I may break it out this fall!
Farmhouse on Boone has a ton on sourdough.
should go to vermont and see king aruther baking company a real amazing place.
I’d love to!
Thank you Zack! I needed a good bread recipe!
Love you and Whitney🥰
Blessings to your family!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks!
Due to diabetes I can't eat bread, but I still enjoyed watching. Hope you, Whitney and kids have a wonderful weekend. God be with you all.
I’m so sorry. Thanks for watching though and I’m glad you enjoyed!
I’ve made lots of bread, but learned new cool tips from this video. The butter on top I will have to try. Bread came out amazing with using just one hand! Thanks for posting.
Thank you! I didn’t know if it was gonna end up being a fail or not!
Some people sign their casts. Zach flours his! 😂 You can almost smell the bread through the computer screen. Good Job, Leftie!!! Another winner ❤
OMG! I'm so sorry that u always have to explain stuff like the way ur holding the knife bcuz u have a cast on, where is people's common sense? 🤦♀️ That bread 🍞 looked scrum-didilie-scrumptios Zach 👏 even with 1 hand tied behind ur back.😂
I made this bread with your easy recipe for the family this week. It was a success and I felt so proud to do it as I am not the type to successfully make rice on the stove all the time. Thanks!!!
So glad you enjoyed! I always try to look for the easiest way to cook things!
I love making fresh homemade bread, there is nothing better!!! What a great recipe, I am definitely going to make it. Your loaves looked amazing!! I hope your thumb heals quickly. Take care and thank you for another great recipe.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!
Bread looks wonderful! So sorry about your thumb. And your sweet mama and her Pickle Ball injury.🙏🏻
We are falling apart over here!
Home made bread is the best ❤ .. When my grandmother was alive she will always make me fresh home made bread I miss her making it for me .. ❤🙏
Did you use activedry yeast or instant yeast
Please don’t take this as me being a troll… it’s Broken not Broke.
Zach you are as excited as me when there are fresh breads or pastries in the house 😂😂😂 nothing like them!
Finally someone that understands!!!
What type of yeast did you use?
I've jammed my thumbs many times playing volleyball making them as useless as breaking them, so I feel for you. The pointer fingers do quickly replace the thumbs...even when setting a volleyball! 😁 The bread looks delicious! If I didn't have celiac disease, I'd love to try it. 🙃
That’s rough… I was sure it was a jam, but I was unpleasantly surprised by the xray lol! Now to get this thing healed and fry some chicken!
On making this bread is there another oil I can use, I can't use olive oil due to my medication. Can I use coconut oil is that ok. Thanks!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
I don’t cook with coconut oil but you can use a wide range of oils with success I would think!
Your bread recipe is simple and looks so delicious. I have tried making bread but I don't do it much because I have a bad shoulder and it hurts to knead too much or too long. Do you know HOW LONG the Kitchen Aid mixer ran for while you let it do all of the mixing because of your thumb? I was always afraid to let it run too long, it would start clicking, so when I heard yours doing the clicking I knew it wasn't just me.🎉 Now that I know the mixer won't break from kneading a long time I will definitely try your bread recipe! Thanks so much
I let it knead for around five minutes!
Zach, can you post your recipes in a format that is easy to print?
That’s one of the things I’m going to work on after the holiday. I’m going to work on getting the website to translate those into a PDF format where they are all easily accessed and printed!
I just stumbled on to your site, I love it, your recipe, you getting tickled over your loafs coming out of your pans, you remind me of me...lol Question ? what are your bread pan sizes, please. I also checked out your list of videos, awesome. Thank you, I hope your thumb heals well and fast.
I have a 9x5 carbon steel and a 4.5x8.5 stainless steel! Both work great!
I make homemade rye bread a couple times a month and homemade cardamon bread every Christmas.
Ooohhh cardamom bread sounds so good!
My son keeps thinking you are saying you went KFC to get your finger xrayed. He’s trying to figure out why you go to a chicken place to get your finger xrayed. 😅
Haha dang southern accent, I went to Knoxville orthopedic clinic, or KOC 😂
Wow looks lovely as long as it is edible !!
This is the way!
Delicious! Worth the work and yes, just dumping the yeast on top works fine. This is the only bread I've ever made that rose like it was supposed to
It’s one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made for bread!
I love homemade bread, My mom always made bread
There’s nothing like it still warm from the oven!
You are going to have to make a cook book with all these recipes. I watch several ladies that does cooking and tells their recipes on TH-cam and then they also have several cookbooks with the recipes in them you can buy. Just a thought if you wanted to make some extra money.
You are so sweet! For now I’m just glad to see folks enjoying these!
Sorry to hear about your thumb. Hope you feel better soon. Oh great I can use my new mixer again. Nothing better than homemade bread and butter. I used to make bread years ago. But this has got me wanting to try this recipe. Those looked amazing.
Thank you! I’d love to hear how it goes!
❤
😊
Praying far you great job on everything you do
Thanks!
Sorry about your thumb!
Still a great cook!
Thanks 👍
Well I am going to try but other than artisan bread I always seem to fail 😢
This one is easy?
Could you use parchment paper inside the pan?
You could! I do not though! I’ve found proper oiling works just fine, so that’s where I’ve stayed!
Thanks for sharing this with us! Looks great!
How are the hats and aprons coming? How much are they?
I hope to get them ip next week! Still having issues with washing the label on apron but shirts and hats are ready!
@@Thebateskitchen
Sounds great!
Thanks!
You just dump the yeast on top, you don't stir it in? I'm making this today.
You can stir it in and it will work fine, but imo you don’t have to
With homegrown tomatoes coming on, we need a salsa demo!
Ill see!
To help protect your cast on your thumb you can purchase finger cooking condoms I know silly wording but they will slide right on your thumb and protect it from oil butter goop type things while your healing and cooking. Get well soon.
😂
That bread looks delicious, but I am here to tell you that you need to invest in a wooden bow knife for bread. You can buy them online or we bought ours from a local artisan at our community farmers market. We never thought we needed one and now we don't know how we ever sliced bread without it! Especially a nice big sourdough loaf. You'll get precision pieces with every slice! Promise. Just don't ever let your kids use it because they are as sharp as a saw!
I’ll look into that!
Can you freeze a loaf before baking if you only need 1 loaf at a time?
You can for sure freeze after baking!
❤️🥰❤️🙌
Yum!!!
What's the best way to store this bread; in the fridge or at room temp?
I stored at room temp! I will normally cover with a towel and once it’s been cut stand it on its cut end. we normally eat it within 2 to 4 days
Hi Zach, There's nothing better than smelling fresh baked bread in the kitchen. Sure it tasted wonderful. Sorry to hear about your thumb incident. You're very young still to play with your younger brothers in basketball. Hopefully Speedy recovery on that thumb. 🤗👍🏻💛
It’s a great smell!!! It was a freak accident but hopefully I’ll be back soon!
Love all things Bates. I miss binging your show. Could you tell me how to send Erin a message. I want to buy some of her prayer cards.
Pretty sure she has a website for that!
@@Thebateskitchen Thank you so much! God bless you!
Buttering the top of the bread! Who knew? Can’t wait to try it! ❤❤❤
I’m always looking for somewhere to put butter!
Hi Zach, I’m definitely going to make this. Your homemade bread recipe looks so delicious and easy to make. I love your videos and family. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a speedy recovery on your thumb🙏🏽❤
Thanks!!! Hope you love it as much as we do!
Sorry about your thumb. Hope it gets better soon. I like me some homemade bread.lol delicious with honey butter. Great job mainly using one hand.
Thanks! Hoping to be back to using them both soon!
How do you make the honey butter?
Coming soon!
Can't wait to try this bread!
Let me know what you think!
Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear about your thumb. Would love to see you and Michael cook something together ❤
We are working on it!
Could you use all bread flour and forego the wheat and still get a good texture with your recipe?
Absolutely! I would add the last cup or so just as needed! I like the taste of wheat, but it would be even fluffier with just bread flour!
thanks
Great job as always! I love your expressions! 😂 ❤ the cooking lessons!
😂 thank you
Love the video! I tried your stuffed chicken and loved it! This will be the next one I try!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed!
Hi Zach, thanks a lot for the bread recipe. We tried it and it’s definitely a keeper! Blessings from Israel 🇮🇱
So glad you liked it!!
Another keeper recipe, the bread looks delicious! Hopefully your thumb heals quickly!
Thanks so much! I do as well!!!
Ouch!! Praying you recover quickly! That bread looks perfect and if I was in your kitchen, even though I'm gluten free, I'd give it a try. Just for you though lol!! This looks worth the tummy ache 😂, especially with that honey butter. Brings back childhood memories of a restaurant in a town near us who brought out cornbread in small cast iron pans and honey butter to every table like they do chips and salsa at the Mexican restaurants. It was soooooo good.
I love some cornbread and honey butter! I might do that one later as well!
Great new recipe for me to try as I'm always looking for good homemade sandwich bread which is hard to find. I make my own bread and even as long as I have been making it I always give a WhooHoo when the bread comes out clean like that....such a good feeling. Thank you again for another great episode. Blessings to you and your family.
Loved this episode!
Excited to make this bread ~ you made it look easier than I thought it would be! 😊❤️🍞
It’s so easy!
Oh lord that looks amazing, I have NEVER been good at making bread my husband was,mine always turned out looking like House bricks , Thank you for sharing
You’re gonna love this!
@@Thebateskitchen Honestly i thought i would have EXTRA ££ to the Bin men (trash men) to take away, in case it Dented-or damaged .lol Keep doing what you are doing, Great video`s i love watching every thing you share
Gosh I'm drooling. Looks so good😋😋
This is a good sign!
Zach votre pain est magnifique et met l'eau à la bouche et votre personnalité, votre enthousiasme donne envie d'essayer toutes vos recettes, et celle ci tout particulièrement.
You are so sweet! If you try it I’d love to see it!
Looks so delicious
Thank you 😋
Looks good! Out of the pans perfectly!
I was pretty happy! Normally if something can go wrong, it does on camera!
YYYUUUUMMMMM!!!!!! Another great recipe and my mouth is watering! Sorry about your injury and I hope you heal fast Zach!
You are so sweet! Thanks for watching and thanks for your prayers!
Zackery you know that your amazing when you step into your Kitchen Magic happens and you make your dishes look absolutely Delicious, Thank you and Happy 4th of July 🎉🎉
Thank you so much!
Hi Zach! If I were to make this bread gluten-free, what kind of flour would you recommend? It looks delicious! BTW, you should have a show on Food Network! ❤
You are so sweet! Unfortunately, I would not want to give you any bad advice, I’m not 100% sure about that!
Ouch ! I have three bruised ribs right now !! Not moving much !! Prayers for fast healing !!
I’m so sorry! Sending prayers your way as well!
Add some more of your southern humor and you will be the next Justin Wilson. He was Cajun but fun to watch!
Enjoying your channel and your excitement.
So glad you enjoyed! I’ll get there with some humor here before long!
I used to bake homemade bread in the bread maker but we don’t have or do that anymore 🍞
Wow that bread looks so yummy! I’m definitely going to try this recipe! Thanks Zach for another delicious recipe! Hope your thumb heals fast! ❤
Thank you! Let me know what you think!!! And I do too 😂
Praying for quick healing!!!
Thank you!☺️
Lol, Zach says, "I hope i didnt just knock that down.
Oh, No i didnt!
Then starts punching it down, lol
Yeah, but a lot of time was in between that I think… That was a little deceitful 😂
Great looking bread. I'm making this for sure.
Hope you enjoy
OUCH! ZACH!! BREAD oh heck yes, teach the 110 water and yeast. So glad your making bread.
Gotta get those temps 😂
❤ looks delicious thank you for sharing as always I’ve tried several of your recipes and they are delicious. love watching your channel hello to Whitney and the children love you guys. God bless what an amazing family.
So glad you enjoy these! Thanks for watching!
Which brother did you wrong on the court? 😅 jk. It's a rainy weekend here in NY, great weather to make some bread. Thanks for the recipe!
I think it was my fault 😂 wish I could pass some blame though!!!
I love the smell of bread baking in the oven. Brings back a lot of memories growing up. I made some rolls last weekend that called for pineapple juice. It was some of the best rolls I have ever made. The whole family loved it. Thank you Zack for sharing your recipes with us. Just a quick question, is your honey butter just honey and butter? The only reason I ask is because I've seen it with powdered sugar add it and to me it is a little too sweet that way.
It’s just whipped butter, honey, maple syrup and sometimes a bit of cream cheese!
Yummy 😋
😋
Nice vlog. The bread looks delicious will try making it
Thank you 😊
I just took my two loaves out of the oven and they look and smell pretty great! Excited to try it!
But now I want to know…where can I get the honey butter recipe? 😊
I’m working on it! I’ll try to get it out soon!
I bet you as soon as the doctor says you're healed you'll be right back on the court. But it does sound painful. Did you end up losing your nail?
I like your bread recipe. I need to start doing some of these recipes and having people over.
My nail is still on but it’s black on the top …. I just can’t wait to be able to hold a fork normal again!
Looks good!😋 I know how it feels with your broken hand. I broke my hand last year. (The bone behind my right ring finger knuckle) It was difficult to do everything. We definitely take for granted the use of our hands.
I was shocked at what such a tiny injury could do!
Yummy bread looked delicious! Great job Zach
Thanks so much!
😮I always have an excuse to use butter. This bread looks so delicious specially with the honey that I bet you don't even need butter, but I would still add it. Maybe on the second slice, butter and blackberry jelly
Oh I’m a sucker for toasting these and adding some blackberry jelly
Will be trying this soon! More videos with your beautiful kiddos please! 🙂
More to come!
You can also make a small slit in the side of the loaf 🍞 and put a whole stick of butter 🧈 inside! (Not that I have ever done that, just heard about it from a friend!) 💁🏻♀️😉🤣
This scares me lol 😂 I might have to try it though!
Wow Zach, a cook and a baker! Bread looks really good! Hope your thumb heals quickly ❤
If it’s got to do with food I enjoy it! Thanks, I do too!
I really wish I was there to taste that fresh warm bread hot out of the oven.❤😋❤😋
I should’ve called first, my bad.
@@Thebateskitchen that was funny zach 🤣
@@Thebateskitchen that was funny zach 🤣
I am loving this channel. I am going to try the bread and your chicken recipes as well. I will let you know how they come out.
Yay!! I love honest feedback!
I don't have a bread hook. I've made all of your recipes except for the pasta and they are delicious, but the directions are hard to follow because some things are left out.
Oh no, what’s missing!?
So sorry you broke your thumb! Wow! That bread looks amazing! So easy to make and I bet it is delicious.
Me too! It really is an easy recipe!
I love baking homemade bread. I will have to try your recipe.
Let me know what you think!
Oh my word I am salivating! I have to get a kitchen aide! ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
This works well without the KitchenAid as well! Just a big bowl and wooden spoon, but you will need two hands 😂
Our Aldi discontinued selling flourless bread. Do you have an easy (yet tasty) recipe? Thanks, Zack.
I do not have a flourless spread recipe! Although I might have a flourless chocolate cake that I love!
Please have Michaela on to make her blackberry cobbler!
I actually asked her about doing blackberry cobbler or peach cobbler soon! Would love for it to work out while I am one-handed!
