Baking is fun anytime.
Homemade Bread recipe I usually made with simple and available ingredients in the kitchen. Only challenge is you have yeast. This recipe suits well for beginner level bakers. Generally I follow the detailed recipe and it takes at least 4 hrs for bread recipe. But after few trial and errors, I come up with this
easy peasy recipe.
During this lock-down time, we can't run every time to buy bread for grocery shops. At the same time we can't store more pockets because the breads have short life. I spend time max 1 hr to make and yields 2 loaves of bread. One bread loaf I used with 3 - 4 days and the second one I cover it properly and stored in freezer. I can use it on second week. If you try it once you will never go back to store bought stuff again. Baking bread at home is so fresh and they makes your house smell so heavenly. This is the best fool proof method which never fails.
Ingredients
- Whole wheat flour - 4 cups
- Maida - 1.5 cups
- Active dry yeast - 2 packs each 7 oz
- Sugar - 4 tbsp
- Salt - 2 tsp
- Milk - 2 cups
- Oil - 1/2 cup
Method
- Take a large bowl or cake mixer or food processor, add whole wheat flour, 1 cup maida, sugar, salt, yeast. Mix all together.
- Add warm milk to this mix and add oil. Now start kneading the dough. Finally add 1/2 cup maid and knead well.
- Grease the loaf pan and split dough into 2 equally. Place the dough in the loaf pans. Cover with dish towel for 30 mins. After 30 mins, you can see the dough double in size.
- After 30 mins, place it in preheat 375 degrees F for 25 - 30 mins. My oven take approx 28 mins.
- Cool down completely and cut into desired size.

ReplyDeleteThank you Hollysbirdnest. Maida is similar to all purpose flour, we can use all purpose flour too instead of maida.
