[@leighlyle2304]

One thing my brother and I loved from warm crusty freshly baked bread - was cutting in whilst still warm and having butter melted through it. Absolute bliss! In fact half the loaf was gone before our parents even realised 😋😋

[@Quickblood1]

This is brilliant. Not just a recipe but an education in why it's done. Cheers.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Aww, that's so kind, Elaine. Thank you for watching my friend ❤️ much appreciated,

[@judydilworth8532]

I just received your bread book and tried this loaf. I usually use a bread machine set on the dough setting and then bake it in a regular oven. I put in the ingredients in the order that bread machines like (liquids in the bottom, then dry ingredients, then yeast on top). I buy instant SAF yeast in a block and keep it in my freezer. I then put a small amount in a small container in my fridge and use from that for my bread. I have never had dead yeast using this technique. Bread came out of the oven looking great! It is cooling now. I substituted whole wheat flour for 1/3 of the flour. Can’t wait to taste it! I have made all my own bread since 2015.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Fantastic Judy! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and I hope it turned out well.

John, I have never in my life, made a bread this soft and delicious. I consider myself a pretty good cook and baker, but my one downfall has always been breads, and that has frustrated me! I want to thank you for your amazing tutorial and guiding me through….I made the best bread I ever had - I think it has everything to do with the correct hydration, which I have NEVER realized before. So now, I will watch each of your videos to learn more! Thank you very much Chef!

I baked this bread for breakfast today. It was a huge success! 30 minutes after it is baked, sliced it, spread some butter and sprinkled a bit of sea salt on one of my slices, just heavenly. 2 adults and a kid ate half of it at breakfast, that good. Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation and the perfect measurements.

Thanks again for watching AB.

[@meershaum]

Hoorah I made it. Well, I screwed up, but it came out terrific. NEVER DROP THE PAN AFTER THE SECOND RISE. The beautifully raised dough collapsed on me., just like a souffle. I had two choices, I could let it rise again, or put it in the oven and bake it as is... I made the wrong choice. I baked it as is. And YET!!!! it came out EXCELLENT. I thought it would end up like a piece of lead, but it rose in the oven, While not as high as I would have liked it, the bread came out light and delicate like any white bread on the store shelf. And I was using AP (Or as the Brits call it, 'Plain"} flour. No changes in the recipe. Thank you John Kirkwood for a foolproof recipe.

Years ago I made enough bread bricks to make book ends, door stops, paper weights, and we talked about building a house with my bread. When I ever figured out the yeast was dead, I was happy. That was 40 years ago, and even though I bake bread all the time, I have learned a lot from these videos.

Nice job Black Rose, you are very welcome my friend.

[@johnlcallaway]

Thank you for sharing this. I was very pleased with my first loaf using your recipe and techniques. The only difference is I used all purpose instead of bread flour. But the loaf came out very well. Nice, light texture. Lightly browned but still cooked. We had done warm with butter and it was very tasty and had a great mouth feel. My wife and I agree that it's going to be a very good sandwich bread or toast. Might be time to reconsider store bought bread. As you said, it only took a couple of hours, and most of that was waiting. I work from home and this is the perfect bread that I can make while still doing my day job. I can't wait to get some fresh yeast and bread flour.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks again for watching John, yeah you really need proper bread flour mate, you'll see a vast difference in the loaf.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

[@hamamudo3011]

finally, someone using international system (gram)!!!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

+hama mudo Thanks for watching, much appreciated,

[@disarm2k10]

Had hard time making bread using cup and tablespoons, since flour can be compacted grams is better for me

[@edstar83]

Metric system is superior.

[@krisinsaigon]

yeah! I've been watching American cooking videos and it's an incredibly confusing system compared to grams When i watch these i'm looking for ratios- I'm maybe not going to be using the exact amount of the main ingrediant, so i want to be able to scale the recipe up or down and I need grams for that

[@Zooumberg]

@soaringtractor We used the British Imperial system here in the UK until recently.

[@aintgonnahappen]

Just now pulled these out of the oven and they look great! I used the calculation method you taught us and made a 1000 gram recipe that yielded 2 large loaves; I made sure to start a bread cook-book of my own so I don't forget and this is the first recipe in along with the calculation instructions. TY for the amazing tutorials.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Nice one A, excellent work, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@willanderson1983]

Thank you for the instruction. I'm now eagerly awaiting my first bread loaf. 20 mins to go! I went with a 60% hydration and 420g flour, extra virgin olive oil instead of veg oil. Cheers!

I’ve made this twice now and it is so delicious. It’s so much more tasty than the shop bought loaves. Thank you so much for showing me the way. Cant wait to try more of your recipes. I love the way you explain everything and helps me understand why I do things rather than just doing it.

I just want to say that this bread is absolutely awesome. I just let mine rise sitting on the oven instead of putting it in the container in the sink, but it still turned out absolutely awesome! Love your videos!

[@panoshountis1516]

Thank you for the videos and the tips, John. A couple of queries: What if I want to substitute the strong bread flour with whole wheat one for a healthier choice? Would the amount of water be the same or the ratio change? Also, what is the hydration ratio that applies to other breads -is there any guidance on that?

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks for watching Panos Hountis, much appreciated. Very kind comment thank you.

[@tifanireed5596]

I made this John! Turned out wonderful! It didn’t look as pretty as yours. But tasted great! Once I master this one I’ll move on to another kind. Maybe the ciabatta!

[@tifanireed5596]

If I wanted to add some herbs and maybe some garlic, how would I do that? Do you have a video?

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Yes Tifani, use dried herbs and garlic powder, try a tsp of each at first then adjust to taste for the next loaf, hope this helps.😉👍😃

[@oVelhoEoFogao]

Thanks for the know-how transfer! I like your explanation.

[@markgoodchild7336]

This fabulous the wife making great bread. Thanks easy to follow great results.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@georgeprout42]

Hi John, I was going to post my comments on your latest great video, but this is where it's relevant. I hate you! (Only joking, read on...) This recipe works fantasticly well and I have been making it every other day for the last few weeks. I have to, family won't touch the sliced stuff anymore! First one didn't work out very well, it was quite dense and just about 'ok'. Similar to my previous efforts. Toasted, it was a struggle to eat the following day. Second one I left to rise for a lot longer in the tin (tip here: use the timer as a guide, it may well take twice as long) until it looked like yours, and omg, wow! Having made this a dozen times now, this is an absolute keeper. I know how to "tiger crust" it, but to be honest, for a general purpose sandwich/toast loaf it is a winner as it is. So now I have to spend a couple of hours a week to keep making this. Arghhhh 😉🤣 But a huge THANK YOU JOHN, it definitely gets the thumbs up from us 👍🍻

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

😂🤣😂👍 Thanks George, now get cracking on the pitas, Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the website, Pita Bread profoodhomemade.com/pita-bread/

[@calebgonsalves2970]

I made this bread and 1. It did not rise as much as yours and I used a brand new yeast to make it 2. The bread crust was chewy I think it's because I left the top heating rods on.... I have an otg (Oven Toaster Grill) and it works with some heating rods at the top and bottom...

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks again for watching Caleb.

[@ebutuoy7190]

For anyone wanting a few written steps, I used the following with my stand mixer: Take the ingredients as listed: 430g / 15.2 oz of Strong White Bread Flour 245g / 8½ oz of Warm Water 40°C / 104°F 20g / 1½ tbls of Vegetable or Olive Oil 7g / 1 heaped tsp of Active Dried Yeast 10g / 1½ tsp of Kosher Salt or 8g / 1 tsp of Table Salt 6g / 1 tsp of Granulated Sugar Then: Knead 10 minutes First proof 30 minutes Knock back Shape and place in tin Second proof 30 minutes, somewhere a little warm Heat oven to 160c (fan assisted) Sprinkle flour Bake 10 mins Turn 180 degrees Bake for a further 20 minutes Remove from tin and cool on a rack ENJOY!

Thanks my friend.

[@billwatters4833]

Hello John, this is great bread. I make a loaf to this recipe every Monday. It is so good but for some reason, after I put it in my electric toaster the bread has a strange texture, It becomes close-grained with an almost brittle finish, it's as though the gluten melts. I know you'll say it's about accurate measurements but please be assured I am meticulous when following any of your recipes. I was given a sandwich at a friend's house recently and was surprised to discover it was made from a Waitrose Soft White Medium Sliced. Can I make such bread at home? What is the secret to making a white loaf that's perfect for toast, please?

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Hi Bill. I've never really had a problem when toasting the bread. Also mass produced store bought bread has a lot of other ingredients to keep the breads shelf life longer and to keep it soft.

[@deniselittlefield5325]

Hi Bill, I make this bread all the time and after 3 days on the counter I slice and wrap each slice individually with saran wrap and freeze in a freezer bag. Take out a slice at a time for toasting or thaw out for sandwiches. Hope this helps. Works perfect for me.

[@rickf.9253]

I made it today and it came out perfect! Your final proof method is absolutely genius, and your explanation of hydration is so simple. You’re right doing it in grams makes it so easy and accurate. Thank you so much for the lesson.
