This Bread Machine Honey White Bread is the perfect basic loaf — soft, tender, lightly sweet, and incredibly easy to make. With only seven simple ingredients, the bread machine handles all the mixing, kneading, and rising, so you get a beautifully soft homemade loaf with almost no effort.
The honey adds sweetness and flavor without making the bread taste sugary, and the crumb stays moist and soft for days. It’s a fantastic all-purpose bread for sandwiches, toast, snacking, or serving alongside soups and salads.

Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Milk: I’ve used 2% milk in this recipe, and it worked just fine. You could also use dairy-free milk like almond milk.
- Oil: I use olive oil when I make this bread, but a similar neutral oil will also work.
- Flour: To properly measure the flour, weigh it or sift/stir to break it up, lightly spoon into a measuring cup, and level. This will avoid packing the flour.
How to make bread machine honey white bread
Here you’ll find instructions and step-by-step photos showing how to make this recipe. The full recipe, including ingredients, is given below.

Step 1: Add all of the ingredients into your bread machine in the order given by the manufacturer. The order is usually wet ingredients, dry ingredients, and yeast in a small well in the flour.
Step 2: Press the white bread cycle, and adjust the crust to the lightest or medium crust setting. I like to use the lightest setting for this recipe.
Step 1: Remove the loaf and let it cool on a wire cooling rack before slicing and serving.

Recipe Tips!
- Bread machine model: I have four different bread machines that I use to test my recipes. I have an older Cuisinart as well as the newer Cuisinart model. I also have the KBS, and a Hamilton Beach.
- Slicing: This bread slices well. I regularly make this bread to use for making sandwiches, but it also works well for toasting and serving topped with butter and jam.
- Serving suggestions: Besides sandwiches and toast, this bread can be used to make French toast, bread pudding, or anything else where you would use store-bought sandwich bread.

Storage
Store any leftover honey white bread in an airtight container at room temperature. The bread will keep for up to 3 days when properly stored.
