Betty's Fresh Baked White Bread, Part I--the Dough

[FathiyaG]

i tried this yesterday and it turned out good and so soft. my family loved it. thanks for sharing and keep the good work. wish u the best.

[chickadee25911]

Oh my gosh! I added 2 tablespoons of salt instead of two teaspoons! Good thing I caught it when I did or else that would not have tasted very good! I'll let you know how it turns out!!

[bettyskitchen]

@chickadee25911 I hope it turns out great! Thanks for commenting!

I don't have any kind of mixer.. can i / how do i do it all by hand? also does this freeze well? because there are only two of us.. and we can't eat two loaves of bread that fast ... it's been hot and al ot of things go bad very quickly. thank you again :)

[bettyskitchen]

@schweetheartmonkee Yes, the bread freezes very well. You can use a spoon and stir the dough; it's just a little more work. And then you can knead it by hand. Just keep working until it is smooth and elastic.

I worked so hard ,but the food tasted so good,always was told to get out of the kitchen,never understood the work that was going on,but all I wanted was water,so my grandfather installed a drinking foutin on the side of the house,true story,miss the great food.

[bettyskitchen]

@VWBAJA2112 Interesting...

[shebabe03]

what state do u live in?

[bettyskitchen]

@shebabe03 I live in Kentucky.

[passionknitgirl]

I wonder if I could do this with my food processor? Also, I live at a high elevation. Betty, how do I accomodate for that in the recipe? (5500 feet about sea level)

[bettyskitchen]

@passionknitgirl I have never tried kneading bread in a food processor, but this recipe would make too much dough for my food processor. Most recipes need no modification below or up to 3,000 feet. Above that, it's often necessary to adjust recipes slightly, by decreasing the leavening and sugar (or both) and increasing the liquids. Butter, which melts in the oven, is considered a liquid; eggs, however, are not--they act as stabilizers in baked goods.

[Virtualbeautycounter]

This is wonderful, such great instructions! I'd love to see recipes for all types of bread dough. Whole wheat, sourdough, and maybe rye or pumpernickel. Yum!

[bettyskitchen]

@Virtualbeautycounter I will get to as many as I can. I do need to do casseroles, soups & stews, salads, entrees, side dishes, and desserts, so that everyone gets something they like!

--Betty :)

[NaziPedoBear]

should you still scald milk if you use soy milk instead? or any kind of non-dairy milk?

[bettyskitchen]

@NaziPedoBear I don't speak from personal experience, but I understand that it's a good idea to scald soy milk under the same conditions and terms as regular milk. At least I don't think it would hurt.

--Betty :)

[TheCraphater]

i just wana do 1 loaf so should i just half all the measurements??

[bettyskitchen]

@TheCraphater Yes, you may take 1/2 of each ingredient, and then just follow the instructions, but make only one loaf.

--Betty  :)

[TheCraphater]

@bettyskitchen i made this bread and it turned out so good!thank you.loads of love from india

[bettyskitchen]

@TheCraphater Thanks for the great feedback!  I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[dixielee323]

Is regular all purpose flour the same as the flour that you used?

[bettyskitchen]

@dixielee323 Yes, regular all-purpose flour.

--Betty :)

[coked007]

you look good is it because the healthy things you make

[bettyskitchen]

@coked007 I do think healthy eating is an important part of the way a person looks. I eat only small portions of food that is fatty or sugary. I eat lots of egg whites, tuna, broiled chicken, fruit & vegetables--not much pasta, bread, rice, or potatoes or desserts.

--Betty :)

[missmickery]

great job betty, the dough looks good :) I didn't know we could do kneading with a mixer! :)

[ohyayaoyao]

[maplepoon]

I love to use my bread maker to make bread :)

[rawena002]

Hello Betty, I was wondering if you have done a carrot cake? I would love to see how you would make it. I enjoy watching every video of yours :)

[bettyskitchen]

@rawena002 Yes, I do have a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting in bettyskitchen. It is one of my most popular recipes.

--Betty :)

[lindaheywood]

Betty, look forward to the wholemeal bread recipe as I don't eat white bread. But thanks for showing me how to make it. Other people I know do eat it. x

[sandrecl]

Homemade pizza please? I especially need help with the dough.

[XphR]

@sandrecl You could use this dough as a pizza base. Once you have it stretched to shape (it takes a bit of practice to keep it even but even ugly pizzas are great I can swear by that) just put down a bit of cornmeal to keep it from sticking to the pan. You will also need to thoroughly perforate it with a fork to stop it from blistering up. Sauce, lightly cheese, spread toppings, cheese again. Cook in a preheated 400o oven until the whole thing is golden and bubbly. Generally 30-40 min.

[bfenti]

Recipie looks good. will try it on my next loaf. I don't have a warm spot so I put 3 or 4 inches of warm water in my sink and float the proofing bowl in it for the first rise of 90 minutes. Warm up the water if required. Float the second rise in there by tenting the whole sink with a tea towel.

[lea3441]

Hi Betty i have a question um why didn't you do it in one whole episode and do you have to use bleached flour ?

[bettyskitchen]

@lea3441 The whole video would have run about 20 minutes, which would probably be too long, so I broke it into two logical segments. (However, I will give the full written recipe in both videos.) No, you do not have to use bleached flour.

--Betty :)

[phonsiepons]

Awesome :) I can't wait for part 2~

[bettyskitchen]

@phonsiepons Part 2 will be posted tomorrow.

[RoRoFab79]

Hi Betty. I have a question: When mixing the dough is it of utmost importance to use that exact type of mixer? Could I get away with a hand-mixer, or should just knead it from the get go? And what do I look for when kneading it? As in what consistency should it have. This would be my first bread and I would just die if I messed it up lol

[bettyskitchen]

@RoRoFab79 You don't need a stand mixer. Just mix in the first four cups of flour with a hand mixer. Then use a spoon to mix more flour in. From there, directly turn the dough out on a floured surface and start kneading. (I have a Quick Tip on how to Knead Dough.) You will have to knead for 10 minutes or so, until the dough is smooth and elastic. It will not be sticky, and it will be a little shiny.

I hope this helps!

--Betty :)

[24PinkHippo]

hi im betty welcome to betty's kitchen

[strmman]

when can we expect part 2

[bettyskitchen]

@strmman I will have it posted tomorrow before noon.

--Betty :)

[wildheart5]

The mixer really makes it so easy and no kneading! What a beautiful dough. I don't have a mixer like that so am relegated to the old fashioned method, but it builds up one's arm muscles!!  Barb

[cowloverification]

Yum can't wait to see the finished product:)

[TheVittleVlog]

Nothing better than homemade bread!! Nice work, Betty!!

[jakeyboo7]

Hey betty, looks good so far, but i was wondering could you make some salad dressings .

like low fat, low calorie ones ?

[simis7]

Betty, I have the bulk bag of yeast, how many tsp would the yeast be in 2 packets?

[16hilltyKMS]

@simis7 I'm not Betty, but it's 4 1/2 tsp. in 2 packets.

[marystestkitchen]

It's nice to see how you do this. Fresh bread is so much better than store-brought, I think.

[devilinskirts]

your hair looks so so wonderful

[meadowlassie]

Yes! Betty's finally making homemade bread! I've been waiting F-O-R-E-V-E-R!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thanks Betty!

[CheezeyPuff58]
