Simple Homemade Bread Recipe 

KNEADING THE DOUGH 

So, the initial steps are combining the yeast mixture with the flour mixture. Initially, the dough is sticky but kneading it well will turn this sticky dough into a smooth one. In other words, use your palms and knead the dough on a granite surface for best results 

PROOFING FOR SUPER SOFT BASIC BREAD

Proving the dough is another essential step in bread making. I proof the dough after mixing the basic ingredients for 40 mins, beat the dough back and knead it again into a smooth ball and reproof it for 30 mins and finally knead it into a smooth log shape dough, place it in the loaf tin dusted with flour and proof it for 30 mins or until double in size. Bake once done

BAKING 

Bread should be baked at 180 degrees C for 30 – 40 mins. The top should be a dark golden brown and should feel firm when tapped (sound hollow when tapped) An inserted skewer should come out clean. Once the bread is baked, remove it out of the oven and brush on some melted butter onto it 

The texture is as good as fresh bakery bread. Perfect to make sandwiches, dinner bread or simply add on some butter to relish fresh bakery-style bread.

    That looks like a nice soft loaf of bread. We love bread at home and the kids need sandwiches for school so this is a must-have in the fridge. Love the golden crust you have on this bread. Looks yum!

    Great tips and a fantastic looking loaf of bread. I bet it does make a great sandwich. I like soft breads for certainly sandwiches. What with school starting soon this would be ideal in a lunch box.

    There’s nothing quite like warm bread, fresh out of the oven…I have to force myself to wait until it’s cool enough to eat! This bread reminds me of brioche bread, which is so fabulous

    alisha plz tell me can i use wheat flour instead of plain flour if i am on diet … or share the receipe of brown bread

      Hi Ali
      You could use half wheat flour and half all purpose flour for this recipe. I wouldn’t recommend using only wheat flour as the bread then turns dense and heavy. Will soon share my brown bread recipe. Stay tuned !!

    Hello! The bread looks amazing and I can’t wait to try this recipe ?
    I just have a small doubt..
    In the recipe you have mentioned the use of instant dry yeast.. Can i substitute it with active dry yeast? If so what’s the quantity?
    Thanks in advance ?

    Could this be made in a bread machine? Mine makes 2 lb loaves so I could always 1 1/2 times the ingredients.
