My own sandwich dough recipe is 50/50 water and milk, salt, flour, yeast and 50/50 melted butter and olive oil. These days I always add the oil at the beginning, bulk ferment for a couple of hours, it gives a nice easily workable dough and bakes to a nice soft loaf with plenty of flavour. I used to add butter and oil after needing for a while but it always created such a sticky mess I decided to add at the beginning one day and found it made no difference. Loving these experiments, side by side comparison really demonstrates the relative merits of each approach and saves us amateur bakers a lot of time. It took me ages to realise adding the butter/oil at the beginning didn't make any difference.

[@gordondell8691]

My every day loaf (that I usually end up just eating rather than using for anything like sandwiches) is whole milk, melted butter, salt, yeast, and flour. I'm quite happy with the results - both in terms of texture and flavor. It's got a very soft crumb and wonderfully creamy taste.

[@YasuTaniina]

Same here. What's more is my recipe is a family recipe. I've made a lot of bread and that one remains a family favorite for good reason

[@farooqishaq644]

Thats essentially a hard cake

[@pearlriver1849]

I add melted butter with the rest of the wet ingredients but use a stand mixer with that type of recipe. Always turns out with a high rise and fluffy texture for me

[@TheSwede04]

What a “Fantastic” Video. I am learning so much from you young Man. Thank you for all the effort and time you put in to your videos. I love telling the Ladies that I make a lot of Dough.

[@michaelprozonic]

i make a lot of plain sandwich bread for our extended family. I always hated adding the oil but recently I saw you add it at the beginning so i tried it and that worked great for me. So much easier than trying to mix oil into an almost fully kneaded dough with a stand mixer. It just keeps swirling around

[@covishen]

Apologies, this is a year old I know but I had to post something. This is a great video and answered a lot of my questions. Personally I use a stand mixer for my bread so for me it doesn't look like a difference. For hand kneading I like using cold butter. My breads always turn out soft and delicious.

[@Danielle_1234]

I thought I was the only person in the world who added melted butter. I add it to a stand mixer mid knead, not from the get go. I use melted butter because it's easier to throw butter in the microwave instead of letting it sit out for a while. I haven't noticed any downside of melted butter but that it incorporates evenly. With softened butter it's rare but you can sometimes get lumps of butter in the dough which creates tasty bites of dough. Melted butter adds consistency. I also use milk powder and powdered eggs.

[@laneymcfarland6471]

Great Videos:) (Years ago) I would scald milk and add butter (to melt), and dissolve salt/sugar then allow mixture to cool down. At appropriate temperature add good amount of flour. Only then adding yeast (which had been proofed). Then adding enough flour to knead a fairly soft dough. This worked well at the time and was recommended by old cookbook. Alane

[@colindee5677]

Following on from one of your previous posts, I leave 15 minutes from first mix to first knead and then add butter. I always melt it before adding it and have had good, consistent results. I really appreciate your knowledge and the technical detail you share in these videos. Thank you.

[@depressed_firefly]

I have recipe for the bread with melted butter from a cookbook and honestly, it was never a sticky mess you said you expected it to be, always good bread at the end of it, no issues with rising or anything. And of course with the added egg it would be it because more liquid was added...

[@joaoweslley6383]

Really interesting and explanatory video! I'd like to see one talking about the difference between using butter and margarine, how it actually affects the dough and the bread. A big hug, friend!

[@d1jezek]

i'm curious about that as well. in a cookie recipe there's obvious differences if you use one or the other but i've never been sure what happens differently in a butter vs a margarine bread dough.

[@joaoweslley6383]

@@d1jezek Recently I made a bread making the substitution (in fact I always do it but this time I stopped to calculate everything as accurately as possible). I took into account a margarine that I had at home with 60% fat and considered the remaining 40% water. Personally, I thought the result was pretty decent. However, since I didn't have a control made with the butter, I didn't have much to compare it with. This is why I would really like to see a more in-depth video on this topic.

[@Rye_d_baker]

Soft butter is my always method i am using. But really appreciate your experiment

[@davidlindsay6072]

I normally add 4% olive oil to my daily white loaf with the other wet ingredients with great results. Thanks as always for the video.

[@paulroberts1799]

As always, great information. Thank you! I’m new to baking and have only tried method 1 with softened butter. I have a 47% Brioche getting braided and proofed in a couple of hours. With eggs and 260 g of butter it took 4 minutes gluten development, 15 minutes to incorporate the butter, then an additional 5 minutes to complete. It’s cold fermenting for 24 hours prior to shaping and baking.

[@RolloTonéBrownTown]

I'd always heard the butter temp is critical for texture etc. But it's nice to have it correctly explained. Cheers my friend

[@robertmarks2379]

Great video bro, I've been away for a while so I have lots to watch and catch up on 10/10 keep up the good work

[@ChainBaker]

Cheers!

[@GavinChai]

My take on the sequence of adding butter is depending on the requirement of gluten in your recipe. If the bread only requires 60% gluten formation (e.g dinner rolls) then adding the butter early doesn't impact much. But recipe that calls for 90% or more gluten formation (e.g. Japanese milk loaf) for the fluffy texture, then the sequence of adding butter matters. In your experiment, you are baking basic bread that doesn't require much gluten structure to be good, hence you end up having similar results. If you really want to see the difference, perhaps try baking Japanese milk loaf using tang zhong (water roux) method then perhaps will have more obvious results.

[@mariemyriam5616]

thank you for those experiments...i love those videos...because not everyone has the knowledge, time and patience to do that for us ... for me i always added melted butter for my dough because i don't have a mixer and i can't kneed the dough with my hands for that long time...so i always used melted butter....but my recipe is without eggs...and now i am using light olive oil to replace the butter for the cholesterol...and it's almost the same results...thanks again for your very informative videos.

Hey Charlie, great video as always! When I make bread I never use sugar unless I'm making a quick bread (love that banana bread :D ). I always use melted butter as I have a stand mixer and that cuts back on the mess significantly. Of course focaccia is different and I do that one by hand. I love seeing the experiments you do, they're always informative and enjoyable to watch. Cheers!

[@vieuxacadian9455]

I prefer melted butter added at the beginning . I have noticed a difference between store butter and homemade butter in the breads outcome . Probably due to the reduced water content . Thanks for Your videos , Great wealth of information ! Bonjour de Nouvelle Orleans ,USA

[@petedavis7970]

I sometimes include butter in my dough (without egg or sugar). I usually add butter only when I make English muffins and sometimes for other breads as well. I normally do softened, but I've done melted butter before and didn't notice a difference and I'm glad to have that confirmed. In my cinnamon swirl bread, I do both softened butter (in the dough) and then a brush on melted butter when I have it stretched out, before adding the cinnamon & sugar and rolling it up, so that the butter will help dissolve the sugar and make the cinnamon wet.

[@kleineroteHex]

Just love your experiments! If I add fat to my bread it is usually oil, and about 2 tablespoons, no big deal. Love learning from you, thanks!

[@smitajal9565]

Yet another awesome experiment... I always feel bread making is so much fun & a great stress buster... I always use butter after kneading and resting for 10-15 min... I don't know why but i feel it makes the dough much better... recently i have started using coconut oil..and it's amazing...it also gives a nice flavour to the bread... Thanks Charlie... Have a wonderful day 🌻

[@zahraelomr]

Thanks for the amazing video 💐 I was waiting for this one 😅 For me I found it easier to add melted butter and perhaps a pinch of flour if its more sticky than I expected 😁 it may be not the perfect way but it is easier and I didn't notice any difference 😁

[@vyacheslavbernard6861]

As always, great and informative video! I once tried adding the melted butter straight away, thinking I will save time, but it made the dough sticky and difficult to work with, and the kneading and slapping and folding procedure took forever)) Typically, I use chilled, straight from the fridge one that I slice into thin pieces and add after I kneaded the dough for a few minutes. For me, this method works the best, and it's also fun.

[@PillsGrabber]

What worked for me was using your focaccia method of incorporating the olive oil, but instead, I clarified the butter and added the milk solids to the flour/water.

[@moonriverman9515]

[@chrisbeavers2290]

New subscriber...and I like either the softened butter or cold butter.

I use a mixer and mix the dough halfway meaning I only add half of the flour, then I add softened butter and slowly rest of flour and continue until done. To be honest I don't know why I do like this, just always done it like this 😀 and never failed me.

But I have seen many asking for "sourdough" versions for many of recipes - and of course, if you share the recipe, I will try to make it. You never know - it's possible that you could get many YT sourdough enthusiasts with a Sourdough Christmas/holiday series.

[@multiversespeaks]

Very helpful! 🍞

[@Nefi424]

Very interesting to challenge conventional wisdom for the sake of experimentation. I've definitely had to delay recipes before because "the butter is too cold/warm", so it's great to see that it's much more versatile than I gave it credit for, assuming temperature control is still in order.

[@SincerelyYoursWill]

Love seeing your experiments, Charlie! This one surprised me too. I just knew that there would be a difference between the different stages of butter, but clearly that thought was counter-intuitive. Hmm As far as how I use butter, it's softened. I've used the melted butter method before. But that was because I was still in my early days of experimenting w my bread. And saw a dinner rolls recipe that said you could do that. Interestingly, my yeast DIED. And the bread although tasty was not really bread. :S Especially after day 2. Since then, I've adopted Martha Stewarts method of creaming the butter then adding the sugar from the recipe into it. It gives it a cake like semblance to the bread. Although the ingredients are still the same. I add it very methodically near the end - with all the other ingredients that slow down gluten development (like honey; heavy cream; and also salt). So far, this has worked great for me. Always appreciate learning how all these variables impact one another. It can definitely be quite HUMBLING haha ;)

[@yankeejade]

I've always wondered about the different degrees of softness with butter and making bread, thank you for this awesome presentation! I think I will do a tester for my tortillas as well. Could you please do a presentation on how to make commercial/store bought type hamburger buns, no fancy buns or glazes on top. I forgot to add, if you could please do it with a poolish for the buns 😀

[@bettyir4302]

Yes, to the burger buns presentation. I make a no-kneed loose yeast dough for sub-type buns but haven't found a soft burger bun. Throw everything into tortillas at once as it doesn't make a difference.

@@ChainBaker Thank you so much Charlie. I actually did watch that video back in Feb, great video btw 😁. The Japanese Milk bread version is probably top notch and far more healthier that commercial buns, I will give it a go :-) Question, how would I incorporate a poolish/sponge dough method vice regular granulated or fresh yeast into that recipe? Also if I leave the sesame seeds off and don't glaze the top, do you think they will look more like commercial buns?

i usually add butter(which i make at home) after the first proofing; i have also added softened butter at the beginning.

[@NicolaiNNielsen]

Very Nice and explaining video as always! I always use cold butter and add it after some kneeding time. My dough also contains eggs and sugar. Funny enough I sometime experience that if I try to add the butter after to long of kneeding, the dough is impossible to ever turn into a smooth bread/bun

[@alf5706]

In my native country Sweden, recipes with butter (often without egg) will tell you to melt the butter first. They also always tell you to heat the liquid to 37 degrees (finger temperature) before mixing, so the two methods work together. I'm guessing they think homebakers will grow impatient if the dough needs more than 45 minutes to rise?

[@ChainBaker]

Oh yes that is tradition in many places. The old 'body temperature liquid' method 😆

[@schrodingerscat1863]

Slow ferment is the key to flavour, if the dough proves to quickly you may as well buy bread from a shop for the all the flavour it has.

[@MrSeeit17]

Great Job! Thank you.

[@vaazig]

I grew up in Sweden and we learnt how to bake in school. For any brioche we'd just melt the butter, add it to the fridge cold milk and let cool down to 37°C, at which point we added the yeast and the sugar. Then we'd incorporate it into the dry ingredients. Easy, no mess whatsoever. An example of such a bread is "lussekatter", which is a delicious saffron brioche that's enjoyed for Christmas. Edit: premature submit button action. Happens to all of us...

[@ChainBaker]

There is no harmful bacteria in it. But if you are not sure, then it's best not to risk it.

[@vaazig]

@@ChainBaker Oh, i didn't even think of the sterilisation of the butter. I believe it's for expediency more than anything. Another thing that struck me is that we only had "flour" growing up.

My standard white sandwich loaf calls for a polish covered with the rest of the flour, powdered milk, and butter, which I grate on a cheese grater. After an hour, minimum, of fermenting, the butter is softened and I mix the dough (with a stand mixer) for a few minutes, let it rest for 20 minutes, add the salt and proceed with the kneading. The only time I've had a problem with messy dough is the time I decided to do it "right" and add the softened butter in chunks half way through the kneading. It never really came together like it should, but I baked and ate it anyway. Needless to say, I went back to the wrong way. Lol

[@choenben]

[@2ukulele]

Hi Charlie. I only make no-knead bread and have been following your advice about keeping the fat below 10% so that I can add it at the beginning. I usually use olive oil. After watching this video I am thinking of trying melted butter. For softened butter, we only count its ~16% water content towards the hydration level. In another video, you recommend counting 100% of oil towards the hydration level. What about melted butter: does it still only count as 16% water, like softened butter, or is it now 100%, like oil?

[@mr.pizzamarlon]

I enjoy using eggs in my dough to create stronger gluten, and make my dough more stretchy. I am Mr. Pizza 🍕 so *flexibility level* in my dough matters 🙂 Plus, I find it gives more flavor and nice golden brown texture. I like to feed my eyes as much as my tummy.

[@wilhelmseleorningcniht9410]

personally for me melted butter is my usual, but I also almost never add egg to my doughs so a purely butter enriched dough is quite common for me. Basically for a sandwich bread. For other breads I normally go with oil or no fat at all

[@zakialdahabi]

thanks

[@elainelily9910]

It seems to me that the cold butter soon turns into room temp butter via the warmth of your hands in the kneading process. I just nuke my butter for 30 sec and it becomes a partial melted/partial softened combo. I use salted butter and don’t add extra salt. I really learn from your experiments. Was very interested in the water vs milk experiment.

[@peterogrinc7580]

Hey Charlie, I had a question about making brioche. I know that when you make laminated dough, if you put too many turns into the dough the layers disapear as the butter is absorbed into the dough. Would it be possible to make a brioche by hand by not changing the recipe, but laminating all the butter into the dough and doing 6-7 turns?

[@mr.pizzamarlon]

Very good question. *I love Brioche myself.* Let's see what Mr. Chain says. I strictly follow his dough steps, so if I make bad bread 🍞 I can always tell my family and friends it's his fault.

That sounds interesting. I guess it could work. The final texture may be different. I don't think there is an advantage though as it would take more work to make it ;D

[@deebee533]

My mother in law taught me how to make bread. Her recipe. The only bread recipe I ever made. Her method was add the melted butter at the end. It is too time consuming for me because then you have to knead all over again. I just add melted butter in the beginning.

[@danieljones3540]

For me, squeezing in softened butter to the dough before all the flour is added, results in a bread where the texture and taste is better than using melted. I have not yet experiemented with cold butter since I think it will slow down fermentation: making it take longer to arrive at my end product.

[@ChainBaker]

The taste will be better the longer you ferment it.

[@ChainBaker]

There's only one way to find out! :)

[@KeksSektor]

The only application for the melted butter/oil I can imagine is baking something that isn't supposed to be very firm like super moist brownies. This way you make it even harder to overmix the dough by accident.

Instead of just melted butter do you think using clarified butter would make any difference ?

The only thing to be aware is that clarified butter is 100% fat, but butter is only around 80% fat, so you'd need less clarified butter.

[@JSquidy]

Why do you not usually only add butter without other enrichments? Just preference? Or is there a more specific reason?
