Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup oil

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Set aside to rise until almost double once more.
  • Bake loaves for 25-30 minutes, or rolls for 15 minutes. They should be golden brown on top and bottom when done.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flour: All-purpose flour is a good option for most breads, but you can also use bread flour or whole wheat flour for a different texture.
  • Activate the yeast properly: Be sure to use warm water (105-115°F) to activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it's too cold, the yeast won't activate properly.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic: This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the bread chewy and flavorful.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will allow the yeast to multiply and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will cause the dough to rise.
  • Bake the bread at the right temperature: The temperature will vary depending on the type of bread you are baking, but it is generally between 350°F and 450°F.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing it: This will help to prevent the bread from tearing.

Conclusion:

With a little practice, you can easily make delicious, homemade bread. By following these tips, you can create a variety of breads that your family and friends will love. Whether you prefer a classic white bread, a hearty whole wheat bread, or a sweet and savory cinnamon raisin bread, there is a recipe out there for you.
