Recipe Tips & Tricks:
✔ If using a darker pan, reduce temperature 25F (4C) and bake an additional 5 - 10 minutes to prevent over browning.
✔ Margarine, shortening, vegetable oil spread and lard can all be used in place of the softened butter. Use equal amounts.
✔ Fresh baked bread should ideally be eaten or frozen on the first day as it will go stale quickly. These will last up to 3 days in an airtight container.
✔ The sugar can be reduced to 1 tbs (12.5g) but we do recommend keeping in a little to aid in browning and to keep the dough soft and pliable.
✔ Up to 1 tsp (5g) of salt can be added for flavor. Start out with the recipe as we have made it an adjust from there.
✔ Do not over bake or the sugar will become bitter. Bake until the center reaches 190°F (88°C) for best results.
✔ If the dough is too sticky for you to work after kneading for 5 minutes, add one tablespoon of flour (9g) at a time and knead several minutes before adding more.
✔ Recipes were created by weighing ingredients. The recipe can be subject to change. Be sure to check the website for any alterations.
Happy Baking!

Back with a review. I made these and they turned out wonderful! I wondered if I could, because I'm not all that practiced with breads, but these were so much easier than I'd imagined and fun too. It wasn't all that time consuming either. My husband really loved them, definitely will make these again. A big hit around here, thanks very much happy baking!!:)

Fantastic, Karen! I knew you could make them. ☺️😊🥰👩🏼‍🍳 It’s always great to make the other half happy as well! Aren’t they so fun to make? 😁 Get used to this dough as I’ll show a few more cute recipes you can make with it. If you double it, you can toss it in a tin and make a loaf of bread with it. 🍞😬

[@karenbearden6198]

@@Jacksonsjob I look forward to that! So far this has been my favorite dough to work with....almost fool proof. (which I sorely need) haha

[@Jacksonsjob]

It really is a great dough to work with and build skills with in general. I like that it’s a small amount of flour. And you can really tinker with it. For example, crack an egg into a measuring cup, fill the remaining with milk to get 3/4 cup total (usually around 1/2 cup.) See how the dough compares with just one minor difference.

I really appreciate you preffering affordable ingredients ❤. Whenever i see a video using 4 egg whites or insisting on a lot of butter, I go nope can't do 😂

[@Jacksonsjob]

I’m the same way! So many recipes ask for such expensive ingredients and in excess when they aren’t even needed or add much to the dish. I remember seeing a chocolate chip cookie that asked for an entire vanilla bean, a pound of expensive chocolate and gold leaf. I’d need a second mortgage for that cookie. 😆 By the way, if you ever want to use margarine instead of butter to save more money, all of my recipes have been tested with margarine as a substitute. Unless i specifically say it does not work, it will substitute nicely.

@@Jacksonsjob Ah the audacity of that chocolate cookie 😅. Thank you for your recommendation and always replying to comments. Still can't believe how your channel hasn't blown up ❤️

Nabeela, thank you for the kind words! I like the fact it’s small as it’s affords me time to connect to lovely fellow bakers such as yourself. 😊👩🏼‍🍳 Have a lovely evening.

Perfect timing, it's coming a flood here we've decided to stay home so I can try this. :) They look adorable, don't they? Emma's comment reminded me of what my Mother would say, she quipped, "How warm was Luke?" Haha she was a funny girl. Thank you for all these amazing tutorials!! You're a doll.:)

[@Jacksonsjob]

Stay safe from the rains! Emma is a doll like you. You’ll enjoy chatting with her I think. Hahah. Your mother was clever! And you are welcome. 😊

Wow,that's the mood I'm in..how warm is Luke🙈 Take care Karen 🙏 Saraaaaa😁

Ohhh,looking forward to trying these 🍽☕🥛and very gorgeous appearance So edible😁

[@Jacksonsjob]

They were a blast to make and everyone that got to eat them just adored their appearance. I knew you’d appreciate this one. 🥰

[@emmabenuska699]

@@Jacksonsjob thank you and I think the 3 braids is perfect and not confusing 🤪 And when you said Lukewarm I thought is that Luke's middle name but I'm guessing Luke Sweet🤗instead

[@Jacksonsjob]

🤣🤣🤣🐈‍⬛🐾🥵 Too funny! I have another “braid” I’m trying to get up next week. By the way, Luke is a bengal. He is actually illegal to own in several states. He’s part wild animal (leopard cat) and he’s a bit of a handful! We rescued him at 4 months old having no idea what it meant to own a hybrid. He did over 4K worth of damage in his first year with us. 😭😭😭 He’s definitely not sweet, more like saucy. He’s going on seven and just now calming down to act like a domestic kitten. 😳😁😆🐈‍⬛🐾

[@emmabenuska699]

@@Jacksonsjob That's amazing and he looks like a regular cat I'm so glad you and Earl kept him🏆

[@Jacksonsjob]

He’s called an F4 so he’s mostly domesticated. Just wild enough to cause trouble. 🤣🐈‍⬛🐾🐾🐾

Gosh Canola oil is no longer cheap due to the Rus/Uk conflict. Prior to the conflict it was 7.88$ a gallon, today the best deal is now 17.88$. A litre is just under 8$.

[@Jacksonsjob]

Unfortunately, prices do rise and things are becoming expensive everywhere. We are feeling it, too. You can use any type of cooking oil that’s affordable, shortening or lard in equal amounts.
