First Homemade White Bread

YIPPIE! Today is my first attempt of homemade white bread. Not as white, but still it's a loaf of white bread. I think it is a successful attempt.

So here I am sharing the recipe which I have learned from Edible Garden. Have a close look :P

Mine turned out to be darker in colour as compared to Edible Garden. But as long as it is a good loaf, I don't care :)

Ingedients :
2 cups all-purpose flour / maida
1/2 tbsp (1.5 tsp) yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 tsp Salt
Olive oil or butter to grease

Methods :

1. Mix sugar, warm water and yeast together and leave aside for 10-12 minutes until the mixture froths.

2. Mix in the flour and salt and knead gently. Place in a greased bowl covered with cling wrap for an hour, until the dough doubles in size.

3. Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes and transfer to a greased loaf tin. Cover with cling wrap and let it rise for another 1 hour. It will again double in size.

4. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200 C / 390 F for about 20 minutes until the crust turns golden brown.
