Soft Sandwich Bread (2 Loaves)

This is a soft, fluffy, everyday sandwich bread that’s perfect for toast, sandwiches, or just eating warm with butter. It’s simple, reliable, and very kid-friendly. I had to double this recipe to make two loaves because my kids love it so much that it never lasts more than a day.
