🌟 Introduction
Bread doesn’t have to be complicated. Bread in a Bag is one of those magical recipes that proves simple can still be delicious. No stand mixer, no floured countertops, and no stress—just a bag, your hands, and the joy of watching dough turn into real bread. It’s perfect for kids, beginners, busy families, or anyone who loves fresh bread without the mess.
🧺 Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tbsp sugar
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
1 cup warm water (about 110°F / warm, not hot)
3 tbsp vegetable oil
👩🍳 Instructions
In a large resealable plastic bag, add 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Seal the bag and shake well to combine.
Add warm water and oil to the bag.
Seal tightly and squeeze and squish until mixed.
Add remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, sealing and kneading the bag after each addition.
Once dough forms, remove from the bag and knead lightly on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 30–40 minutes or until doubled.
Shape into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.
Cool slightly… then slice and enjoy!
🔥 Method
This recipe uses the bag-mixing method, which keeps everything contained. Shaking replaces stirring, and kneading inside the bag reduces cleanup. It’s a hands-on method that’s fun, approachable, and perfect for learning how bread dough should feel.

The process is beautifully simple:
Mix: Ingredients shaken together in the bag
