Yay.....finally I found a great simple and perfect recipe for white bread loaf. It has a lovely crust, soft fluffy and light texture...it turned out so PERFECT and delicious, though it was my 1st attempt (I was not using the actual ingredients in the recipe).This recipe has made breadmaking so simple and easy.... which made it perfect for beginner who is into breadmaking...
As usual, I made some adjustment to the original recipe. I used milk instead of water as I like a milky taste of bread, substitute High Grade for Bread Flour cos I do not have bread flour. At the same time, I halved all the ingredients in the recipe, making 1 loaf instead of 2 loafs (Original Recipe-Yield 2 x 9x5 Inch Loaves).
Ingredients
1 Cup Warm Milk (110 F/45 C) (Original Recipe uses Water)
1/3 Cup White Sugar
3/4 Tablespoons Active Dry Yeast3/4 Teaspoons Salt
1/8 Cup Vegetable oil
1 1/2 Cups High Grade Flour (Original Recipe uses Bread Flour)
1.In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm milk, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam. (Make sure the milk(orwater) is warm to activate the yeast and encourage it to grow. If the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast).
2.Mix salt and oil into the milk & yeast mixture. Mix in flour slowly. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
3.Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes. Shape into loaf, and place into well oiled 9x5 inch loaf pan. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pan.
4.Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 30 minutes.
