Soft white bread

A nice slice of fresh bread; especially that which you have made yourself, is definitely something to look forward to in the morning. After many trials and fails, I have been able to come up with this very simple and cheap recipe. This recipe uses water as the liquid but will soon share the recipe that incorporates milk, which is slightly different.

Note: I used all purpose flour. You can switch with white bread flour which will give you better volume.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Check your temperature of water to ensure its adequate for activating the dry yeast. Dip your finger in the water and if it is hot enough but not burning your finger,its the right temperature. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve then sprinkle the yeast on the water surface and let is sit for 8-10 minutes until foamy.
- 2
To your flour, add the salt and mix well with a spoon or your finger. Take the now activated yeast mixture and pour into your dry ingredients. Mix very well using a wooden spoon until no more dry flour can be seen. cover with a plastic wrap or tea towel and let is sit undisturbed for 20 minutes. It will have risen a bit after the 20 minutes rest period and you can see the gluten already stretching

Lightly flour your work surface and place the now hydrated dough on it and start kneading. Knead for 10-12 minutes until you get a smooth dough that springs back when lightly pressed. The dough will be sticky but do not add too much flour during kneading. Place in a lightly greased bowl and smear some oil on the top of dough to keep it from drying. Cover and let is sit in a warm place for 1 hour to double in size.

Lightly flour your work surface, punch down the risen dough and roll it out to a rectangle shape using a rolling pin. Using your hands, roll the dough into a sausage shape that is the same size of your baking tin.

Grease your baking tin and place your shaped dough inside. cover and let is rise for 45minutes in a warm place in your kitchen, until double in size. 15 minutes to the end of the second rising of the dough, pre-heat your oven at 200 degrees Celsius.

When your timer goes off, bake your bread at the middle rack for 35 minutes. To know if your bread is ready, tap it and if it sound hollow, its ready! immediately transfer to a cooling rack and let it cool completely before slicing and enjoying your labor of love!

Buttermilk White Bread Buttermilk White Bread
My husband is bread lover. And in this situation of self quarantine #stayhome because of the Covid-19 spreading everywhere, we won’t take a chance to go to grocery or bakery just to get the bread. So this is my 1st time of making bread ever. At first I feel nervous because I am going to use buttermilk powder instead of buttermilk. Long short story before the city’s lockdown we couldn’t find any buttermilk or milk at the store. Luckily we got dry cultured buttermilk powder. We just grabbed and brought it home. At that moment we just think “we rather have it and not need it than need it but don’t have it”. So now I have to think how to use it and to not waste it. And here’s I present my homemade buttermilk bread from my kitchen using cultured buttermilk powder. Nia Hiura -
Basic fluffy white bread Basic fluffy white bread
After a very long hunt I finally found the perfect fluffy bread recipe from a friend and tweaked it to makes my own. I used semolina to really add flavor. I can tell when it's been left out. Also the wheat protein is crucial to the light and fluffy texture. You can get bread flour and leave it out since that's what bread flour is. I just don't like storing different plain flour.

Fluffy White Bread Just Like a Baby's Cheek! Fluffy White Bread Just Like a Baby's Cheek!
I was planning to make the bread using Miya's recipe, but I didn't have any skim milk. I had no choice but to replace the watery skim milk with regular milk...huh??? After the first rising, the dough was like white bread! I remembered that the user soyon2 told me that using a lot of milk makes white bread. I made it myself and was so moved at how fluffy it turned out!The dough gets sticky easily, so brush your hands and the surface of the dough with flour to make it easier to work with. For 7-8 small bread rolls. Recipe by Mia cookpad.japan -
