How to Make Homemade White Bread

[@NurdyDancing]

Oven temp- 350 Prep time- 1.5 hours Time baking- 25-30 minutes Equipment- Standing mixer Counter space Loaf pan Oven Ingredients- 1.5 cups of lukewarm water (appropriate temp for a baby’s bath) 2tsp yeast 2 tbs sugar or honey 4 cups bread flour 2 tbs softened butter 2 tbs dried milk 1 tsp salt Nonstick spray, misto bottle of oil or butter Instructions Add water, yeast, and sugar to mixing bowl and stir (if you are using dry active yeast you will have to allow the yeast to activate for the recommended amount of time). After allowing the yeast a few seconds to activate add all remaining ingredients to mixing bowl using the dough hook attachment start your mixer on level one until all ingredients have incorporated. Note: you may need to add a little more flour if the dough is too wet/ sticking to the sides of the bowl. The dough should clean the sides of the bowl. Once the ingredients are fully incorporated set the mixer to a level 2 and allow the machine to knead the dough for five minutes. You should be able to take the dough from the mixing bowl without it sticking to the bowl, the hook or your fingers and it should be firm enough to shape by hand. Spray the inside of the mixing bowl and lightly oil the dough ball so that it will not stick to the bowl while rising cover with a clean towel and place in a warm place. Allow dough to rise until it doubles in size approx. 1hour. Gently deflate the dough and roll out onto your counter, keep in mind the size of your bread pan. Spray or butter the inside of the loaf pan and keep it near. Roll or press out your dough out until it is just a little longer than your loaf pan. Begin to roll the dough tightly. Note: keep in mind that the center of the roll of dough will be the core of your bread and a loose roll will produce bread slices with a weak center. Once you have created a long roll of dough pinch the outer seam shut and tuck the ends so that that it will fit into the loaf pan. Shape the loaf to even it out and better shape it then place your loaf in the pan cover and allow to rise for 20 minutes. *give your oven appropriate time to heat during the second rising. After the second rising bake your loaf at 350 degrees for 25- 30 minutes. Allow the bread to cool before cutting. *optional butter the top of the loaf to produce a softer crust.

Is there a difference in the brands of milk powder. Which do you prefer?

[@eileenpawluk353]

Is milk powder necessary to make this bread? We are in lockdown for another 3 weeks, and I am not sure that I will be able to find any! Finding flower of any kind has been a real hoot as well, but I did manage to find Bread and All Purpose Flower about 2 weeks ago, and I've been putting off making this recipe. Any help would be greatly appreciated. {{{Hugs}}} from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦

Man, I'm watching this and thinking about all your family is going through right now. I hope some day you'll get to see all the love in your comments. You are such a special person showing love through through this work you do. I have no doubt you will fight your way back. God bless you and your family. Even in this time of grief, you are a living loving testamony. And I can hear Mat's voice in the background.....one day your heart will be happy again. Just please don't give up. Again, I ask God's blessings on you all!.

I love going back through older bread videos! I have brioche bread rising now!

[@mariakepler1700]

Made this bread last night and had it for breakfast today. Toast and butter. Delicious. I haven’t bought bread in months thanks to you. Come to the bread aisle and I look. I always tell myself “I can make that”. Thank you so much.

[@hommie789]

I live way up north in northern Canada and if you have a dry climate like we do in the winter what I do is boil water on the stove while it's needing. I put the bowl in the oven with the boiling water in a large pan on the rack below it and this makes it warm up and also increases the humidity so it can rise in less than a week. Great video

[@anneharriman7662]

Oh my Goodness. I just made the Noreen Bread and made the dough in my bread maker but baked it in my new Pullman pan. I added 1.25 tsp of Diastatic Malt Powder and I am so impressed. I have never made a loaf of white bread that tastes and has the texture of store bought. My husband tried it and said if he hadn’t known I made it he would have thought I bought it from the store. He is a white bread snob. Lol.

[@dianaramsey9422]

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing ❤️ this was the best bread I've ever had and definitely the best I've ever baked. I have one trick for rising the bread, I boil a pan of water on the stove and put it under the bowl in the oven while rising.

[@MoonLightAmethyst_]

love that this is a one loaf bread making. It's just the hubby and I. Going to try this next bread making.

[@evelynmizzelle9461]

I made your bread recipe for dinner today and want you to know that even after making homemade bread for quite some time, I got the most awesome loaf of bread. My family , who loves homemade bread , are utterly amazed with the results . Thank you so very much for for sharing. Your detailed instructions were key to the end results. One loaf does not last long at our house so I suppose I will have to make bread every day. Many thanks to you once more and may God bless you!

[@carrierangel9573]

Just made this today! My first attempt at bread! It came out super yummy and my husband is quite pleased!! Thank you so much!

I've been watching your videos for over a year now. I'm so mesmerized by watching you cook & make bread. I've never attempted it but watching you for so long, I told my husband I wanted a kitchen aid for Christmas. It will be here Tuesday :) can you please make a video about the basic grocery list of things you need to make bread ? I'm so excited ! Thanks for inspiring me !

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

sure!!!!!!! i will try to do that this weekend for you! i am so excited for you!

[@anishaingram7542]

So I have been watching your shows for a while now. In fact the video you made of what you need to have in your pantry to start cooking from scratch is what tuned me into you and excited about starting to bake everything from scratch! So I finally got all the ingredients needed to make this bread. My house is really drafty and it’s cold out so my bread just didn’t rise the way yours did. But that may also be bc my bread dish seems just a little bit wider than yours. Anyhoo, I Currently have it cooling and will shortly find out how well it did. You make everything seem so easy! Which, really it is the way you do it. I’m so thankful that I found you!! Thank you for all your hard work and effort!!

[@billpaterson9046]

I am using this recipe for the first time- I only used 3 cups of flour, then added just little more during the dough making. The dough really looks great. Very easy to mix together and knead in the mixer. I let the mixer go for six minutes. The dough is now rising in the pan.
