Bread machine honey white bread recipe makes soft, moist, and lightly sweet homemade bread with touch of honey. Made with just 7 simple ingredients, it’s an easy, everyday loaf that’s perfect for toasting, snacking, and making sandwiches.
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.
If you’re looking for a reliable, everyday bread machine recipe, this honey white bread is one you’ll come back to again and again.
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.

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.

How much flour in grams would you use? I’m having trouble getting a good measurement when using cups.

Hi! It’s 450 g for the flour. If you click “metric” immediately above the ingredients, it will give you the weights for the ingredients. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
