Friends, we are in the middle of a very unsettling time. A strange virus has taken over the world, we have been instructed to stay home and suddenly popping out to the shops for a loaf of bread is something that just can't happen. We can't see our friends, there are no social gatherings happening and all non essential businesses are closed.
It is very overwhelming and there is a whole lot that is completely out of our control. What I am choosing to focus on, is what I can control.

We are so lucky that living rurally, not a whole lot changes for us. We are at home most days anyway and as our kids aren't yet at school we don't have that to contend with either. Our pantry and freezer is stocked, our garden is growing and I am going to be spending this time making even more things from scratch than before.
The thing I want to encourage over this time is coming together as a nation and world and connecting even though we have to physically isolate. We are so incredibly lucky to be isolating in a time where it's never been easier to stay in touch online. Over the weekend I baked a loaf of this bread on my Instagram stories and I was amazed at how many people baked along with me! I will be doing more of this, so if you are on Instagram, be sure to follow along.
This basic white bread recipe is just that. Simple ingredients, no fancy equipment needed and the softest, fluffiest loaf of homemade white bread that you can make.

It makes amazing sandwiches, toast and freezes really well. You can also turn it into bread rolls very easily (see recipe for details)
I always use active dried yeast – this yeast needs to be activated before using it in the dough. The reason I like using this yeast is that it’s a safeguard to bread rising failure. You can actually see that the yeast is activated which is essential for the bread making process!
To activate active dry yeast, add it to a small amount of warm water (somewhere between 40-45°C/105-115°F) and sugar (the amount called for in the recipe) and whisk it around and leave it sitting for about 5-10 minutes. It will start to bubble and foam when it is ready. If this doesn’t happen your yeast may either be too old or the water may have been too hot or too cold. Throw it away and start again. When the yeast is activated using warm water it produces carbon dioxide gas, which causes the bread to rise. You can also use instant yeast (use the same amount as active dry yeast) or Surebake yeast which is a mixture of active dry yeast and bread improvers and is typically used in breadmakers. Both these types of yeast can be added directly to the other ingredients without activating the yeast first. You will need to use twice as much Surebake yeast as you would active dry yeast.

You can't substitute it completely. Wholemeal flour makes a much denser loaf of bread which I find not very enjoyable. If you really want to sub some wholemeal flour in, start with 1 cup wholemeal, 3 cups plain flour and see how that goes. Over the next couple of weeks I will be working on a wholegrain sandwich bread recipe so watch this space!
I put my dough to rise in our linen cupboard. The hot water cylinder is in there which makes a nice warm environment. If you don't have a hot water cupboard you can use the following places:
Your yeast may be old – see above for how to activate the yeast. If your yeast doesn’t activate, it’s no good. Throw it out and start again.

It may simply be too cold where you are trying to rise your bread! If it’s cooler where you live, try putting the bread in the hot water cupboard or preheat the oven to 50°C and then turn off before placing the bread in there to rise.
When the bread is golden brown and you tap the bottom of the loaf (remove from the tin first) and it sounds hollow, it’s done.
If you have an instant read thermometer you want the internal temperature of the bread to be 88°C/190°F –this postexplains it and tested a few different types of breads – it’s a really interesting read if you are keen to learn more about bread baking!

To make bread rolls After the first rise, punch the dough down and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll into balls and place side by side in a greased baking tray, leaving about a 2cm gap between rolls. Allow to rise, covered, for 45 minutes then bake at 190°C for 15 minutes, brush with melted butter and bake for a further 5-10 minutes until golden brown

We'll work through it together because it's totally worth it and at the end of it you are going to be so super satisfied and doing a little dance around the kitchen, putting it all over Facebook and telling all your friends because you have mastered one of life's little joys - easy homemade white bread!

Love to bake bread. I love to bake bread so much that I bought a breadmaker that is so amazing and bakes little mini baguettes, and normal loaves of bread, makes dough and even bakes cakes (!!) aaaaaand I hardly ever use it. Why? Because for me, nothing beats making a loaf of bread by hand. It is such a labour of love, but there is something so deeply satisfying about the aroma of freshly baked bread and pulling that loaf out of the oven, tapping the bottom and hearing that hollow sound and then slicing straight into it, smothering it in butter and eating slice after slice while it's warm because it is sooooo good! If anyone ever tries telling me that I have become gluten intolerant I think my life will actually be over. Not even exaggerating.
So what I'm trying to say, other than I love bread, is that bread baking is fun, and doesn't have to be difficult or scary. So my goal now that the weather is warming up and it doesn't take 3 hours for the dough to rise, is to share with you my favourite simple (and some more fancy) homemade bread recipes so that you can

To get us started I'm going to walk you through the very short list of ingredients required to make a simple loaf of homemade white bread - yeast, flour, water, sugar, salt & milk.
Probably the most important ingredient in bread baking - without this, the bread won't rise. When I'm making bread I prefer to use active dry yeast. This yeast needs to be activated before using it in the dough as it is basically dormant. To activate active dry yeast, add it to a small amount of warm water, sugar and whisk it around and leave it sitting for about 15 minutes. It will start to bubble and foam a little when it is ready. If this doesn't happen your yeast may either be too old or the water may have been too hot or too cold. Throw it away and start again. When the yeast is activated using warm water it produces carbon dioxide gas, which causes the bread to rise. You can also use Surebake yeast, or instant yeast, which is a mixture of active dry yeast and bread improvers. This is typically used in breadmakers when all ingredients are added at the same time as it doesn't need to be activated first. Even if I am using Surebake yeast making bread by hand, I still like to activate it in warm water, just to be sure it is still viable. If you are using instant yeast, you will need to use approximately twice as much as active yeast.
High grade flour, or bread flour is used in breadmaking as it has a higher protein (gluten) content than standard flour giving it more stability and strength and
