Soft Buttery White Bread Food

SOFT AND FLUFFY WHITE BREAD

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients (reserve about 1/2 cup of flour) and mix thoroughly in a large mixing bowl.
• Add reserved flour a tablespoon at a time to mixture until a soft, smooth dough is formed.
• You may not need the whole amount or you may need more.
• Anyway, add JUST enough flour until dough comes away from bowl and it doesn't stick to your fingers (ie the dough becomes manageable) Remember, the more flour you add while kneading, the heavier and drier your loaf will be.
• Turn dough out on lightly greased surface and knead for a while, about 10mins.
• Cover and let rise for about 1 hour, until puffy (dough might not double in bulk).
• Transfer dough to a lightly greased surface and shape it into a 8" log.
• Transfer log to a lightly greased loaf pan (8 1/2" x 4 1/2"), cover the pan with plastic proof cover (i just cover with a greased cling wrap, loosely).
• Let dough rise for about 1 hour, until outer edge has risen about 1" over the rim of the pan.
• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Uncover pan and bake for 35-40mins, tenting lightly with foil for the final 10-15mins if the top is browning too quickly.
• Remove bread from oven, take it out of the pan, and cool on wire rack.
• After 15mins, brush with butter, if desired; to give loaf an exceptionally soft crust.
• NOTE 1: I've tried substituting 2 tbsp lecithin granules for half of the butter (2 tbsp lecithin+ 2 tbsp butter)- it makes an even more tender loaf, and extends the shelf life a bit.
• NOTE 2:You may also use 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk+ 1 1/8 cup of lukewarm water to replace the milk called for in recipe.
• NOTE 3: Potato flour (1/4 cup) may be replaced with 1/3 cup potato flakes.
• Cinnamon Sticky Buns - Combine 3 TB brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Lightly beat 1 egg. Roll out the dough after the 1st rise into a rectangle about 1/3" thick. Brush egg over the dough, and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar. If you like, you can also sprinkle 1/4 cup of dried cranberries or raisins, and 1/4 chopped toasted almonds/walnuts/pecans. Roll up dough, from the long side, into a log. Pinch the edges to seal (brush edges with egg glaze if necessary). Cut the log into 12-14 equal pieces. Place into greased muffin cups/two 8" round pans. Let rolls rise for another 45mins - 1 hr, brush egg glaze again and bake for 25mins until lightly brown. Brush with softened butter after the rolls came out from the oven, if desired.
• Ham & Cheese Buns- You will need 2 slices of ham, chopped (I use honey-glazed ham) and 2 oz. / 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated. Lightly beat 1 egg. Roll out the dough after the 1st rise into a rectangle about 1/3" thick. Brush egg over the dough, and sprinkle the chopped ham and cheese (reserve 2 tablespoon). Roll up dough, from the long side, into a log. Pinch the edges to seal (brush edges with egg glaze if necessary). Cut the log into 12-14 equal pieces. Place into greased muffin cups/two 8" round pans. Let rolls rise for another 45mins - 1 hr. Just before baking, brush egg glaze and sprinkle reserved cheese and bake for 25mins until lightly brown. Brush with softened butter after the rolls came out from the oven, if desired.

EASY WHITE BREAD

Steps:

• Whisk water, sugar and yeast together. Allow to stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the flour and salt.
• With the mixer running, add the water and allow to knead in.
• Add the butter or oil, allow to knead in then add more flour, one third cup at a time until the dough is smooth.
• Knead for another minuted until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.
• If the dough is still very sticky, add more flour and knead in.
• The dough should be smooth and soft and only a slight bit sticky.
• Cover with plastic or a damp tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.
• Once the dough has proofed, press it into rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Roll onto its self into a log, pinch the seam then transfer to a loaf pan that has been lightly greased.
• Covere again and allow to rise for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
• Place in the oven and allow to bake for 30-45 minutes until golden brown and risen. Once baked the bread will sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
• Remove, brush with a little butter and allow to cool before slicing.

"SOFT AS WONDER" WHITE BREAD

Steps:

• Add ingredients in order given (this is for my machine, your's maybe different).
• Select dough cycle.
• When done, take out dough and on a floured surface, shape into loaf and place in loaf pan. (I try to work it as little as possible).
• Let rise in a warm place for approximately 40 minutes until doubled in size.
• Bake on centre rack of preheated 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack before slicing.

WHITE BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Add yeast; let stand for 5 minutes.
• Add the canola oil, egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes.
• Form dough into a smooth ball. Keeping the dough in the bowl, spray with non-stick spray and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
• Punch down dough. Knead for 1 minute.
• Form loaf by rolling ball into an oblong shape then tucking and pinching the ends under the loaf.
• Place loaf in a bread pan. Brush thoroughly with egg mixture.
• Let loaf sit while oven is preheating to 400 degrees F, or about 10 minutes. It bakes at a higher temp than other bread recipes. Make sure your oven rack is on a lower setting so that the top doesn't burn!
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, until outside is golden brown and internal temperature of loaf registers 195-200 degrees.
• Let cool. Slice & enjoy with butter!

• Once the yeast has froth, then add the yeast mixture into the flour and mix it with a rubber spatula until fully incorporated
• Add oil to the work surface and transfer the dough on to the surface and knead for about 10-15 minutes ( If you have a stand mixer with the dough hook, then use the dough hook which will help to knead the dough easily)
• Brush a bowl with oil and place the kneaded dough inside, cover with a cling wrap and let it rest and double in size in a warm area. ( Note: the resting time will depend on the humidity and room temperature)
• Once doubled in size knock the air out by punching the dough and dust flour to the work surface and shape it to a square shape and roll it into log shape (See video)
• Prepare the bread loaf pan. Butter 1 - 9 x 5 inch loaf pan and set aside,
• Once the dough is rolled up, pinch the seams to seal both sides and bottom . Make sure all the seams are on the bottom
• Place the bread into the prepared loaf pan container and Loosely cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and let it proof again in a warm place, for about 45 minutes - 1 hour.
• The top of the dough should rise about 1 inch above the rim of your bread loaf pan
• Preheat oven to 180C, place the bread in the middle of the oven, and bake for 30-35 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven, let it cool down in the pan for 10 minutes remove the bread from the pan and keep it on a wire rack to cool down completely.
