Bread Recipes Light Fluffy

Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world. I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family are also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.

The Challah Of Our Dreams: Light, Fluffy, Perfectly Chewy

Soft for Days. While many homemade yeast breads will become dry and stale after the first day, this homemade milk bread stays so soft for days after baking. You’ll also note that it has a “tearable” quality, where it’s so light and fluffy that if you pull the bread apart where two of the sections meet, you can tear off thin strands of bread. When slicing the bread, use a large, serrated bread knife to gently saw through the bread.

So Many Delicious Uses. This bread is fantastic while it’s still warm from the oven, and I love it plain, or with some butter and honey. It’s a bit too soft to use for sandwiches, but you can toast the leftover bread, use it in sweet or savory bread pudding recipes, or dip it in beaten eggs and milk to make French toast. If you’re looking for a sandwich bread recipe, I’d recommend my easy white sandwich bread, which is a bit sturdier than milk bread.

High Altitude Tested. I develop all the recipes on my site for Denver’s altitude of 5, 280 feet. If you’re at a lower or higher elevation, please see my FAQs for guidance on adjusting recipes for your altitude. With yeasted doughs, the altitude mainly affects the rising times. You’ll find that dough tends to rise much faster at high altitude, so you need to keep an eye on your dough to make sure you don’t over-proof it.

Tangzhong or tang zhong is a simple roux or paste made of water, milk and flour. The tangzhong method is quick and easy. Just cook the ingredients in a saucepan for a minute or two until the mixture thickens into a paste. When this paste is added to yeast dough, it plays a very important role in improving the texture of the dough and the baked bread.

I used the USA Pan Bakeware Pullman Loaf Pan. Their pans are heavy aluminized steel, and really excellent quality. My pan is the “small” size, and measures 9 inches long, 4 inches wide and 4 inches tall. A Pullman pan is taller than a standard loaf pan, which is usually only about 2 1/2 – 3 inches tall, so it makes a taller loaf of bread. You can buy a Pullman pan with or without a lid (for making perfectly square loafs of sandwich bread).

Light & Fluffy Banana Bread Recipe

You can use either instant yeast or active dry yeast. I highly recommend this Red Star Platinum Premium Instant Yeast with Dough Enhancers. Every loaf of bread I’ve made with this yeast has been spectacular. I use yeast from my grocery store for cinnamon rolls and sticky buns, I love using the Red Star yeast for loaf breads.

It’s impossible to look at a loaf of bread and tell if it’s done or not. Yeasted loaf breads should be perfectly baked, not raw or doughy in the middle, and not over-baked and dry. The ideal internal temperature for a perfectly baked loaf of yeast bread is between 190-195 degrees Fahrenheit, so you need a digital instant read thermometer to ensure your bread is perfectly baked.

Since the dough is very soft, it would be difficult to knead it by hand without adding too much flour. And while a mixer can do the job in 10 minutes, you would need to knead the dough by hand for 20 minutes. If you don’t have a mixer, I’d suggest using a bowl and a Danish dough whisk to knead your dough, so that you don’t add more flour than the recipe calls for.

Soft, Fluffy Gluten Free Bread (dairy Free)

Milk buns, or milk bread originated in Japan, using the tangzhong method to make buns and bread characterized with a soft, light fluffy texture and rich, milky flavor.

If all-purpose flour is all you can get your hands on, you can use it. But bread flour has a higher percentage of protein, which makes for a chewier texture in yeast dough.
