homemade bread recipe-
There is literally nothing better than homemade bread. With just a few staple ingredients you can enjoy this bread and the smell of fresh-baked bread. I am so glad my mamma passed down this recipe to me and now I am honored to share this special recipe with you guys! It does take some time for rising, but so worth the wait.
how to make homemade bread-
In a large bowl, add warm water, top with salt, and stir the salt into the water. Sprinkle with the yeast. Sprinkle the sugar over the yeast. Let the yeast activate for about 5 minutes. Add in the sifted flour and knead for about 5-8 minutes until flour is incorporated and no lumps. Add the olive oil and knead for another minute. Cover and let the dough rise for 4-5 hours. Grease your bread pan with baking spray. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into the pan. Let the dough rise for an additional hour. Bake in a preheated oven to 375°F for an hour. Once baked, let cool. Once a bit cooled, top with butter. Enjoy.
The best part is that it freezes wonderfully! Once baked, wait for it to completely cool and wrap loaf in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag and away it goes. When ready to use just remove from the freezer and let thaw. Once thawed, I then like to just bake it a few minutes to give the crust that crunchiness, no-one will know that the bread isn’t fresh. 🙂
