Home Made bread

Bread - home made

Bread can be made in more than one way. I have seen over 10 different bread recipes, but most of them use the same basic ingredients. I promised we would try a couple of them in the next 30 days, so we would start with this simple bread.

What I have listed below are the basic ingredients for bread. The video below will show you more.

Half cup of sugar
3 cups of flour
2 spoons of yeast
2 spoons of veg oil
Half cup of milk
Half Teaspoon of salt
One cup of water
one egg (optional)
One Spoon of Butter

To answer one of the most recurrent questions of all time, I will start by elaborating more on measurements. Below are my measuring set. I purchased them for just about a dollar (400 Naira). You will find them where you buy flour (cake stuff shop).
baking cups

Below is the video.
See the video below, I think it is detailed enough, if you have any question or contribution about this recipe or baking in general, please use the comment form below.

If you have any question about homemade bread, please use the comment box below, and I will get back to you. Thanks.

One cup means one cup all over the world. There is one cup, half cup, quarter cup etc. One cup is 250ml, half cup is 125ml etc. Hope you are cleared on that.

I think you should go ahead and try something different, great recipes are created by people who try new things. Coconut flour? haven’t heard of that yet. lol.

dear you can use stove and pot .
1: if your dough is almost risen, light your stove and put a stainless or stones (smaller sizes) on inside the pot. DON’T let your bread pan touch the pot. then place the pot on the stove like 3-5, min before you out the risen dough into the pot.
2: cover your pot with well fitted pot cover and bake.
3: don’t over high your stove so that the under of bread your will not get burnt.
4: don’t open it for the next 20 min. depending on the size.
