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.

Easy

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.

White Bread Recipe

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!

So it is not very often you come across a great recipe for gluten-free bread....when you do, you probably should sing from the mountain tops like in the Sound of Music!

Yes....sounds silly but a good gluten-free bread recipe is like diamonds to gluten-free foodies. I may be overacting but great, hot bread is the thing I miss the most about being gluten-free.

Gluten

I actually like the taste of gluten-free pasta and I love using almond meal when baking...but gluten-free bread in a bread cooker is a dream come true!

Please note... As this is such as popular post, I have updated the photos - Gluten Free Bread made in a Bread Machine. (Yes my photography had come a LONG way, from just snapping a quick photo with my iPhone.)

So I have to be honest and say I have experimented with cooking bread in the bread cooker a lot....sometimes it came out like a tiny rock cake and other times it just tasted really gritty. I think I am so close with this one...I just can't decide whether two eggs or three is the way to go.

I have cooked this loaf with three eggs and it tastes fantasticespecially when it is hot and topped with ham and tomato sauce...(it has a slight egg flavour to it that goes perfectly with ham)

Ok, so today we are taking on something that might seem a little bit intimidating, but trust me...it's not! 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! YAY!!

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
