Bread baking

Bought a mini (not very mini also) power mixer couple days ago, and decided to bake some bread. Simple plain white bread. I'm not really a bread lover.. but somehow every household have to own one. Haha.

Alright. It's just an excuse. I'm absolutely in love with baking!

Let's get the ball rolling then.

Recipe and method adapted by Olivias Kitchen. Before I start, get ready a clean tea towel. It's to cover the bread for rising.

Ingredients:

• 600g Strong White Bread Flour 
• 7g Easy Dry Yeast 
• 1 tsp brown sugar 
• 2 tsp salt 
• 400 ml lukewarm water 
• 3 tblsp melted butter

Method:

• Add first 4 ingredients in a big bowl
• Add water gradually, not at once. (left about 200-300 ml)
• add melted butter and add water gradually; then knead either by hand or by machine for 5 mins. 
• Put the dough in a loaf tin
• Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for approx 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size. 
• Cook in a preheated oven 200°C for 30 mins.
• Once baked, let it cool completely before you take the bread out of the tin and cut.

Dry yeast

You would need brown sugar and some salt

melted butter

Almost ready. Sprinkled some flour on the clean table top. Bring the dough out and start to do last kneading by hand.

Fit the dough into loaf tin and cover with clean tea towel 

Bye for now. I'll see you in another 45 min. (I placed them in the cupboard.)

Rised with double size! :) Sprinkle some flour on top before we put into the oven.

Smell nice and looks nice! 

See the texture.

Then enjoy the bread with your favorite jam or butter!

Trust me, with this simple, light and healthy recipe that you would want to bake this over and over again. :)

Enjoy!
