Easy Sweet Bread Recipes

This recipe is about not sweetbread. There’s a huge difference between sweet bread and sweetbread. I felt really inclined to make that announcement very clear. Today’s post is for a sweet bread recipe that you can whip up for dessert or you can enjoy it in the morning with a cup of coffee or tea. Essentially it’s a bread that’s sweet – that’s a pretty basic and easy description. Sweetbreads however, aren’t necessarily anything I’d eat for breakfast but who knows. So, do you know what sweetbreads are?

To put it simply, sweetbreads are organ meat. Sweetbreads are meats from the thymus or the pancreas. You’ll mostly find sweetbreads from lamb and veal. The Kitchn has a great article that explains sweetbreads and even has a decent case as to why you should try them. I have to be honest, it’s not really something I’m dying to try but if it’s presented in the right format (and by the right chef) I *might* try it.

Simple

The name “sweetbreads” is sort of misleading though. You think you’re getting a bread that’s sweet but instead it’s a plate full of organs. Yum. The Kitchn also says that some believe sweetbreads have a bit of a sweet taste to them – hence the name sweetbread. Not sure how true this is.

Sweet Bread Roll

What I do know is that there’s no confusion with today’s sweet bread recipe. It’s also important to note that this recipe is inspired by and slightly adapted from Julie Blanner. It’s delicious, sweet and I made a decision to add cinnamon, which in my opinion, made all the difference. I feel like now is the time to profess my love for cinnamon. Whenever I make coffee at home, I always add a pinch of cinnamon to the French press. As John puts it, it makes the coffee taste like Christmas. Anyway, if you’re looking for a no-fuss bread to accompany breakfast or as a dessert option, please look no further. It’s so good!

If you’d like to make this sweet bread in mini loaf pans, be sure to visit Julie’s blog for instruction on how to do that.

Growing up, we lived a couple of blocks away from the bakery so we had access to fresh Bread almost every time, so when I lefthome a couple of years ago I began to crave for that sweet, soft and slightly chewy Bread that I grew up with.

Easy Sweet Bread Recipes Every Homemaker Needs

I searched different grocery stores but I did not get exactly what I wanted. The only choice I had left was to start trying out recipes. I tried out a ton of Bread recipes both online and in books, and years after (yes you read right, years!) I was able to come up with this beautiful sweet milk bread recipe after a lot of trials, fails and now, success!

You can make this Sweet white Bread with or without a mixer. However, in order to achieve a perfect result, you need to useBread Flourbecause it has a higher gluten content compared to the all-purpose Flour.Though I’ve used all-purpose flour a couple of times and it turned out good but I will favor the outcome of Bread flour over that all-purpose flour because the difference is clear.

The first thing to check is the capability of your machine. A large stand mixer will successfully handle about 7 to 8 cups of flour. However, if you have a smaller stand mixer, I will advise that you divide this recipe into two.

Another important fact is that there is a very high tendency for you to over-knead the dough while using a stand mixer. Therefore, I will advise you to start checking how the dough is doing after about five minutes from the time you started the kneading process.

To use the stand mixer, simply add all the ingredients into the mixing bowl and start mixing together using the dough hook on low speed till a mass of dough is formed. Continue to process until the dough cleans up the sides of the dough.

If all your ingredients are correctly measured, you will have no need to add more liquid. However, if there’s a need to add more flour, feel free to do that (a little at a time) until you achieve a soft and elastic but not sticky dough.

This bread loaf can also be made with no stand mixer. You will need a clean table with a comfortable height and of course, some elbow strength! This hand kneading method should take about 10 minutes.

Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, once everything is well combined, turn the dough to a lightly floured work surface and begin to knead until the dough is no longer sticky and it becomes soft, smooth and elastic.

Just like I stated for the machine method above, if you measure all your ingredients correctly, you will have no need to add more liquid. However, for the hand kneading method, you will need to add more flour – a little at a time as needed until you achieve a soft and elastic but not sticky dough.

Best Sweet Bread Recipes

Please note that you need to induce steam into the Oven by pouring water in a pan and placing it on the bottom rack of the oven. This will ensure that the bread bakes well and rises to its full potential before the crust is formed. It also helps to achieve that soft crust.

This is not a quick bread method, but the wait time is well worth it, therefore, let the dough rest well. This rest period will allow the gluten to develop well. Don’t hasten or shorten the rest time and you will be rewarded with a perfectly soft and chewy sweet loaf of bread.

There are a whole lot of yeast types that you can use in bread making. However, I will be talking about the two main types that are common to the home baker.

The first is the active dry yeast and the second is the instant yeast (also known as the fast rice or rapid-rise yeast). Learn the difference and similarities of active dry yeast and instant yeast here.

The active dry yeast may or may not be proofed. I know this may be a bit surprising because a lot of people think that there is a need to proof the active dry yeast. I have used the active dry yeast several times without proofing it and with great result.

Braided

On the other hand, Rapid Yeast does not require any proofing. You can add this directly to your dry ingredients. It will work just fine.

Cinnamon Sugar Bread

I will always encourage those who are new to baking to always proof their yeast with warm water between a temperature of 110°F and 115°F and a bit of Sugar just to make sure that the yeast is alive and well. A bad yeast will produce a bad bread.

For this recipe, I proofed my yeast just to help new bakers get it right. If you are not new to baking, you may skip that step.

All types of Oven – Gas oven, Electric oven, Convection oven or conventional Ovenwill all give you a good bread. However, I will like to talk a bit about the effect of the electric oven on the bread.

The electric Ovens have coils that are exposed, and this produces direct heat on the pan from the bottom. Therefore, there is a high tendency for your Bread to burn when using this type of Oven. To prevent this from happening, simply place a foil paper over the oven rack before placing your bread pan on it. The foil paper will prevent the directeffect of the exposed coils on the bread

For all oven types, you may want to rotate the bread halfway during the baking process in order to achieve the even brownness.

1-I added Vitamin C Powder. This can also be replaced with Vinegar. This acts as a preservative and it also creates an acidic environment which helps the Yeast to work better.
