Did you know that bread making isn’t really as hard as you think watching complex videos! Here is a simple breakdown of all the steps required to make a fluffy bakery style bread!

Recipe
All purpose flour (maida) - 360g or 3 cups
Milk - 240g or 1 cup
Active dry yeast - 7g or 2tsp
Sugar - 30g or 2tbsps (add half in wet half in dry)
Salt - 9g or 1/2 tbsp
Milk powder - 8g or 1 tbsp
Softened butter 60g or 1/4th cup

Yield - 550g bread loaf
Loaf size - 8inch loaf or half kg loaf
Baking - pre heat oven to 180*c with fan mode on, bake for 30minutes
-
1. Activate active dry yeast in room temp (22*c - 30*c) milk, mixed with half of the sugar.
2. In a big bowl, add all purpose flour (maida), sugar, salt and milk powder. Add the bloomed yeast and start kneading.
3. Once the dough comes together and no dry flour is left, add softened butter. Continue to knead for 15 minutes and then perform windowpane test. This indicated adequate gluten formation in your dough to facilitate a good rise.
4. Shape dough into a ball and let the dough rise till it triples in size (bulk fermentation). This may take anywhere between 1 hour - 3 hours depending on the temperature.
5. Deflate the dough and shape into your preferred bread. Let rise again till double in size (second proofing).
6. Apply some butter on the loaf and bake in a pre heated oven at 180*c with fan mode on for 30 minutes.
7. Always let bread cool down (do not cover) before demoulding and cutting. Enjoy!
