White Bread! and spring clicks

    

     

Vivek: Nothing can really replace the plain white bread to use in sandwiches, breakfast toasts etc. 

Though I have acquired a liking for the wheat bread, hubby is still in the process of acquiring it. So I decided to make the white white bread. 

Heres some clicks of the bread and spring in the community p-patch

Ingredients:

• 2 bread flour
• 1 cup all purpose flour( or more for kneading)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoons oil ( for greasing containers)
• 1 cup water
• 1.5 teaspoons active yeast

Directions:

1. Warm the water to about 110 degrees F and mix in the yeast and sugar in it
2. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes till it is frothy.
3. In a large pan, add the all purpose flour and salt and mix well.
4. Add in the yeast mixture  and olive oil and blend well.
5. Add in the bread flour 1 cup at a time to knead into a soft dough.
6. Place dough in a well oiled container, covered( with a towel or plastic wrap) , in a warm oven for about an hour. or until doubled.
7. Take the dough and knead it well on a well floured surface for about 5 minutes.
8. Place dough again in a well oiled container, covered and in a warm oven, to rise for about half an hour.
9. Knead again for 5 minutes and let rise(in the bread pan) for another half hour. Multiple kneadings releases and aligns the gluten and gives a nice stranded bread.
10. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until golden brown and  hollow to touch.
11. Brush melted butter on top.
12. Cool on rack before slicing!
