Homemade White Bread

Recipe: 4 cups of lukewarm water (as warm as a baby's bottle) 1/2 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons of active dry yeast* 1 tablespoon of salt 5 tablespoons of oil lots of flour *note: 1 packet of yeast = 2 1/4 teaspoons (double check your packet), so 4 tablespoons = 12 teaspoons = 5 packets variations: oil: use vegetable, canola, olive, or anything else flour: all purpose (bleached or unbleached) or whole wheat (mix with all purpose 1:1) Bake bread in 375°F oven for 25 minutes. Specifically for ONE loaf it's: 1 cup lukewarm water 1/8 cup or 2 tbsp sugar
1 tablespoon (3 tsp) active dry yeast 3/4 tsp salt 1 1/4 tablespoons oil 2 cups flour (roughly)


This is the recipe of the latest 4 loaves of bread that I made:
Ingredients:
2 cups lukewarm water
4 tbsp white sugar
2 tbsp active dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tbsp oil
4 cups flour or more till dough is in right consistency

Directions: 
1. Mix the yeast and white sugar in 2 cups of water and set it for 10 minutes. 
2. Add the rest of the ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix it together. 
3. Pour a little flour in the working area and knead the dough. 
4. Rub oil in the mixing bowl and put the dough back and cover and let it rest for 1 hour.  
5. Pour a little flour on the working area and knead the dough again. 
6. Prepare the greased pan.
7. Put on the dough on the greased pan and cover it with towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

8. Bake it for 375F in 25 minutes.


Ingredients

  • 6 to 61/2 Cups of Flour
  • 1 Cup of Sugar
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vitamin C Vinegar or Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Teaspoon of Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons of Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons of Yeast
  • 1 Cup of Water
  • 1 Cup of Milk
  • 2 Eggs

Instructions

  • Mix the Yeast and 1 Tablespoon of Sugar with half of a Cup of Water and allow the Yeast to Proof for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add all the ingredients and the proofed yeast (except the butter) inside the Mixing Bowl. Set the mixer to medium speed and begin to mix. 
  • After about 4 to 5 minutes of mixing the dough, turn off the mixer and add the butter. Then continue to mix for about 2 to 3 more minutes until the dough becomes elastic and pulls away from the sides of the Bowl.
  • Coat the dough as well as the Bowl with some Oil, cover it with a damp cloth and place it in a warm place to rise for 1 hour or until it doubled in size. I usually place mine in the Oven with the oven light on.
  • Now punch down the Dough. Don't over beat it.
  • Transfer it onto a floured work surface and divide the Dough into 4
  • Shape your Bread by first making it into a ball, then shape it into a loaf. You can also knead the dough into a rectangular shape with a rolling pin and then tightly roll it up (as you would a Mat) into a loaf.
  • Place the loaves into a greased pan and leave to rise for another 30 Minutes.
  • Place into a 350 degrees Fahrenheit preheated Oven and bake between 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Leave to cool for a couple of minutes and enjoy!

Notes

1-I added Vitamin C Powder. This can also be replaced with Vinegar. This acts as a preservative and it also creates an acidic environment which helps the Yeast to work better.
