QUICK & EASY HOMEMADE BREAD



Quick & Easy Homemade Bread image

I had used different bread recipes over the years, and finally came up with my own. I use this recipe for everything... bread, buns, pizza, cinnamon buns, you name it. It turns out every time, and tastes great. My husband loves when I make dinner rolls with these sprinkled with quick oats or poppy seeds! This is my first time posting a recipe- I really hope someone else likes this easy home-made bread recipe as much as I do!

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 Loaves

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups warm water
1 1/2 tablespoons instant yeast
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 egg
1/3 cup butter (or oil) or 1/3 cup margarine (or oil)
6 cups white flour (I dont measure the flour, this is just an estimate- it could be more, it could be less!)
1 cup whole wheat flour

Steps:

  • Combine water, yeast, salt, sugar, milk powder, egg, and butter in a large mixing bowl- stir with wooden spoon until well mixed.
  • Slowly add the flour while still mixing- you don't have to add whole wheat flour, but I usually add about a cup just to give it some whole wheat flavor; then the rest can be white flour- you can do half and half also, or just all white- you are the cook, mix it up.
  • Continue to add the flour to the dough (you will have to use your hands to mix it now)
  • Once the dough becomes more of a ball and not so runny, pour the dough out of the bowl onto a floured countertop; knead dough with your hands for 10-15 minutes, adding more flour if needed. Keep adding flour until the dough is JUST sticky when you hold it- but not too sticky- you don't want it stuck to your fingers. Also, if you add too much flour, your bread will become heavy- so watch how much flour you add to your mixture!
  • Shape dough into ball, place in a large bowl lightly rubbed with oil; cover with a light towel- let rise until doubled in size.
  • Separate dough in half; shape into dough roll and place in lightly oiled bread pans. Brush with a beaten egg to give it that nice golden look when it comes out of the oven or brush lightly with water and sprinkle lightly with quick oats or poppy seeds- the possibilities are endless!
  • Let loaves rise for 15-20 minutes- this is a personal choice, some people do not like big loaves of bread, while others do- so keep an eye on how big your loaves get, it is a personal choice of course.
  • Place in a 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes, or until done.(cooking time varies, depending on oven).
  • Let sit in pans for 5 minutes then take the loaves out and set on wire rack to cool.
  • Its great for toast, sandwiches, or still hot out of the oven as a snack!

EASY QUICK HOMEMADE BREAD AND BISCUITS



Easy Quick Homemade Bread and Biscuits image

I usually make bread in the bread machine. One night, when I didn't have time for the bread machine, I used my kitchen aid mixer recipe book and modified their recipe for 60-minute rolls. The result --homemade bread and biscuits in less than 60 minutes!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your bread. Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Baking is a precise science, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. If you substitute ingredients or change the measurements, you may not get the desired results.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough can make it tough and dense. Knead the dough just until it comes together and forms a smooth, elastic ball.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs time to rise in order to develop its flavor and texture. Find a warm place in your kitchen where the dough can rise undisturbed.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven: The oven should be preheated to the correct temperature before you put the bread in. This will help the bread rise evenly and prevent it from becoming dense.
  • Don't overcook the bread: Overcooked bread will be dry and crumbly. Bake the bread according to the recipe, and check it for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. The toothpick should come out clean when the bread is done.

Baking bread at home is a rewarding experience. With a little practice, you can create delicious, fresh bread that your family and friends will love. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
