  • No milk needed for this bread?

  • Thanks for the video

    I just made 100% whole wheat old cheddar cheese hamburger buns and got a bad recipe on the internet and didn't proof the yeast, don't know if it's going to turn out it's been over an hour and nothing is happening.

    Oh well live and learn if it doesn't ;~(

    But here's a hope'n

  • This video is awesome i learned how to make bread, found out she plays Uncharted which is awesome and men can cook too! i did it thanks mam

  • Thank you so much!

  • Really love this recipe. I have used it over and over again. It comes out fantastic! Thanks so much creating the easy to do bread making video. I would love to see more. Love the humorous parts too. Your fun to watch. Thanks again.

  • Post Script: I got the yeast from a local baking specialty store here in NYC it came in a plastic tub. After 10 hrs of waiting the loaf finally rose enough for baking. The loaf was very dense but had a nice flavor. I baked it at 375 x 30 min. Needed about another 5 min. I Guess either I did not proof long enough or the yeast was not very active.

  • @wwglox Have you considered calling the baking specialty store and asking them what may have happened?

  • First of all thanks for the EZ to understand video. I tried to make a loaf. I proofed the yeast did all the rest then the dough would not rise very well in the first stage after 55 min it barely rose. Then for the second rise it seemed to just stand there frozen without rising. What else could I have done wrong? My kitchen in 71 F is that too cool?

  • @wwglox Thanks for watching. I'm not sure what could have happened to your dough. I'd guess the yeast wasn't very active. What type of yeast did you use and did it bubble up much when you proofed it? 71 F may be a little cool or there may have been a draft, also I don't know if there's a difference in rising time if you live above 5000 ft (like in Denver). I do hope you keep trying. Good luck.

  • Also homemade bread doesn't have all the preservatives and additives like commercial bread.

    I was told that oiling the plastic also helped to stop the dough sticking to it which is true enough.

    1 warning though, no matter how tempting the smell of just baked bread, if you eat it directly from the oven, you can give yourself a really bad stomachache! lol

  • what a cute video

  • nice. you got good bread.

  • Hi Zee! Thanks for the awesome introduction to making bread. It really is an easier idea than going to the market to buy bread, mostly because it's one of the most basic items we can make at home. Thank you again for sharing this recipe, I will definitely be using it soon.

  • I followed your recipe and made fantastic bread! Yeaaa!! I also tried using honey in place of the sugar and 1/2 whole wheat flour instead of all white flour and it tasted great! I am so glad you made this friendly video. :) THANK YOU. It was so easy to follow and the end result was perfect!

  • Wonderfully refreshing and down to earth. Fun to watch and I love the music can you let us know who they are? Thank you, I'm off to mix that dough!

  • too hard :(

  • You did a good job on this video... I was disappointed when I didn't find more like this on your channel. Thanks for the good lesson.

  • This was my first attempt at making bread and it turned out wonderful thank you very much. Your video is alot better than all the other ones I searched.

  • The bread came out wonderful thank you I make it every week-end. I have also used your dough recipe to make Cinnamon Rolls worked great

  • Not only informative but good bread! thanks for showing me how!

  • love teh vid

  • I learned to make bread from this video and it's wonderful. I did have trouble getting it to rise on the counter, I think because I keep my house cool. I took a small dish of warm water and put it and the bread (in loaf pans) under a plastic tub to rise the 2nd time and it worked great.

  • I actually grind my own wheat using my Country Living grain mill I got off craigslist. Homemade bread is the best!! Thanks for your recipe

  • so nice and easy....how do I get this recipe?

  • You are so funny :-D Good recipe too; simple and no fuzz.

  • but time is money and this 'money saving activity' takes alot more time than merely buying the bread no?

  • @maxgunn555 If you can buy fresh homemade bread hot out of the oven in less time that it takes to make it, then go for it. So, do you spend all your time making money?

  • @EZeeWriter i'm not too sure it's an odd phrase time is money. i justthought i say it so i could have a discussion about it like right now :)

  • My mother taught me how to make bread from scratch...25 or more loaves at a time. She eyeballed everything, just as she had been taught. It was hard to scale that down (I don't have room for an industrial size freezer like hers!). However, you've solved that problem, and so very entertainingly as well! Thank you!

  • I Finally made good bread. Thanks!

  • Ahahaha you're fun :)

    The part of you playing the video game gave me a good chuckle.

  • I have a question, when you put the dough in the bread pan to let it rest and put the plastic wrap with some oil, is that to make the dough double its size? like the first time you put it in the bowl? because i didnt put the plastic wrap and it did not double like yours

    thank you !

    ps, it was tasty tho!

  • @milagros104 The plastic wrap and oil are just so the dough doesn't dry out and form a crust. I suppose if a crust forms it might not double properly, but I'm not sure. I'm glad your bread was tasty. Keep baking!

  • Can I use this same recipe to make yeast rolls ?

  • @AFateSoTwisted Yes. I think that if you roll it out after the first rise, maybe about 1/2" thick into a circle maybe about 14-16" round, then cut it into wedges, how many will depend on how big you want the rolls. Then roll from the wide part to the point of each wedge so the point is on the outside. Let it do it's second rising and then bake. It won't need to bake as long but I'm not sure how long you'd bake it for. I've seen my Mom do it but I haven't tried it yet. Check online. Thanks

  • @EZeeWriter I couldn't get the yeast to proof. I just bought it. Should I throw it out and buy more ?

  • @AFateSoTwisted If the water was lukewarm & there was no salt in the water/yeast mixture, it should rise unless the yeast is dead. Sometimes it takes a while, but if it takes longer to proof it will take longer for the bread to rise. I'd try again with a fresh bowl, fresh water and room temp yeast (frozen yeast can bring the water temp down). If it doesn't work that time either, the yeast is probably dead. Then you'd have to throw it out and buy more. Good luck.

  • @EZeeWriter thanks for your video. it's really fun to watch. :)

    I have a question: is there an upper limit to the time required to let yeast proof? I've seen recipes that call for as much as 45 mins (although the 15 mins you advise seems to be the norm) so I'm guessing it's pretty variable. Is the bubbling the only way to know when the yeast is ready? The active dry yeast I have doesn't really start bubbling till about 20 mins.

  • Is there any way to store the dough?

  • @PullTheTrigger55 I'm not sure about that one. You may want to look online. I've read that you can freeze pizza dough but bread dough doesn't do as well. I haven't tried it. One suggestion i've seen is just to make extra loaves of bread. But, you should probably look online. Hope you have fun baking.

  • I AM SO GOING TO TRY TO MAKE YOUR BREAD!!! I have look around and see other videos and they are not as CLEAR as yours

    I am going to do it next weekend.... :D

  • Thank you. I made it today and everybody liked it!

  • Zee, I've made your bread several times now. I've not only made it for my family, but have also taken it into work. Everyone thinks I'm an expert. My fresh bread disappears as fast as heroin on the streets of L.A. and with the same enthusiasm. (Not that I would actually know that.) Thanks for sharing.

  • I can't wait to try this ! Thanks for posting. :-)

  • failed terribly must of not had live yeast

  • Thanks SO MUCH!!! I tried many receipts from different websites. NONE of them were so amazing. By watching your video and they you explain I could understand every step very well. I started making your bread 15 days ago, by now I have made 12 LOAFS! because my husband is loving them. They come out perfect, delicious. I will only wish they could rise even more. Do you have any suggestion please. Take care. Thanks.

  • damn this chick is buff, did you see the size of her wrist. making bread is a workout!

  • I just made this and it's mindblowing (that I actually made it xD) Many thanks!

  • awesome. I'm going to try it right now.

  • loved this recipie. took me lyk 4 hours. lol i was wondering how long it usually takes u to do it?

  • @fistum1 That's about right, I guess. Waiting for the yeast to proof, mixing the ingredients, kneading the dough and then letting the bread rise twice. About 3 to 4 hours is good.  I'm glad you like the recipe. Thanks for watching.

  • Enjoyed this very much. I have just started baking bread and am experimenting with various additions. I use the quick yeast by the way and it rises like crazy.

  • @corydora2012 That's great.  I should try that yeast some time. Thanks for watching.

  • what should you do if your bread doesn't rise. never have i been able to get it to rise before the baking in the oven and i have made bread 4 or 5 times already. any help with this???

  • @awolvesdestiny I'm not sure what your situation is.. There are a lot of factors, like whether or not the yeast is fresh, the temp of the water - should be lukewarm, no salt in the yeast/water mixture, etc. If the bread doesn't rise it probably has to do with the yeast. You may need to stick the bread in the fridge overnight and see what you've got the next day. If the yeast doesn't bubble up in the water after 10 minutes you may just have a bad batch of yeast. Keep trying. Good luck.

  • Hey, Could you be my mom!!

  • Wow...I actually made decent bread! Thanks for your help! :) It still didn't rise as much as yours...any suggestions?

  • Can you just use a pizza stone to bake it on?I do not own loaf pans.Haha I should probably just go out and buy them ....

  • hey, ezee.lovely east recipe and i enjoyed all process...ill try now this way...and ya u look so sweet.....very cute like pudding.......

  • thanks zee that was a good video!

  • I also want to know if I may cook them at 350 instead of 375?  (our oven has issues..)

  • @SorceressKana Yes you can bake it at 350, it will probably just take a little longer to bake. Keep an eye on the color of the loaves to figure out when they're ready. Thanks for watching.

  • Do I necessarily need a food thermometer? I'm pretty much a cooking noob and simply wondering if I really need it. I may buy one anyway...but...

  • @SorceressKana You don't need a food thermometer. Just knock on the bread and it should sound hollow.

  • Hi Breadmaker, love your presentation. lts very cool... Well done. l well try one myself. Thank you. Peter

  • Hi Zee, I really learned alot from your video. My first attempt before was very sad...poor bread, it turned out looking like a brick,and weighed as much as one!! So I watched your video, and ta dah!! It worked. Thank you.

  • Good tips, like the internal temp of finished loafs, and not cutting until cool....it's all in the details, isn't it?

  • Nice. I needed this.

  • @ushotee That's punny.

  • Great Video. Thanks so much for posting! it really helped me get out the dog house with my wife.

  • great vid hun, i dont normally place the doe in the bread pans for the second rising great tip im going to do that from now on. thanks so much for the vid

    .

  • Great video. Everyone should know how to make bread.

  • Hi ! Do you have a video making a cinnamon raisin bread ?

  • @keg265 No, I've never tried that one. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • ITS REALLY GOOD VIDEO I MADE ONION AND RED PEPPER SALTY BREAD WITH THIS METHOD... IT CAME SO GOOD AND ENJOYED THIS MORNING BREAKFAST THANKS A LOT

  • I made bread today using someone else's video and it didn't turn out to good so I'm going to try this one tomorrow when I get more flour will give some feedback ASAP

    I wouldn't mind but my dad was a chef and always made bread but he never let us near the kitchen.. SHAME

  • Hey Zee i made bread last night with my kids following your video. And i'm a single Dad.

  • @rd1999 Did you guys have fun? Hope it was delicious!!

  • Zee~

    Thanks so much for teaching people like me who know nothing about bread making. Thanks so much. It truly was easy, and fun!!!...i loved gettting my hands gooy :). You are a treasure lady!

    ~Amanda palmer alaska

Liked your simplicity n the way you presented.. My husband was shocked.. ( coz i'm newly married n do not know cooking!!) will be looking forward for ur other recipes especially wheat bread.. thank you!! thank you!! thank you!!
  • I just made some bread for the first time with the help of this video and it turned out REALLY GOOD! Thanks a million! =)

  • Your bread looks fantastic! Can't wait to try.

  • NOOOO! American instruments like Farenhight! D:

  • Mama ur too good...thnx for your recipe!!

  • could you put your ingredients in the description PLEAZZZE and thank you! Great vid

  • That looks so good! Just a question: your 375 degrees fahrenheit; how many degrees of Celcius is that on my oven???

  • @mirrie36 that 190*C

  • Did you ever get your laundry done?!!! This is a cool, easy to follow recipe. I successfully baked me first loaf of bread following a book recipe, but I really liked your technique for browning the sides of the loaf. Will try yours next!

  • yOu should make more videos... =)

  • Wow that was great to watch ; ) Thanks! I bet your bread is Great! I wanna try that too. Can you only make white? Wonder how you can make Wheat bread. When you were make that it reminded me of that old show "The Waltons" when you seen Olivia Walton and Grandma Walton making their bread lol = ). I always remember them say "don't slam doors child I have bread in the oven" lol. I wonder if that still matters. Does it? Remembr that show? Ahww those were the days. You seem so cute.Nice Video:)

  • Thank you so much for giving me the courage to be able to finally bake my own bread, never thought I would ever be able to do it. Your video was fun, and easy to understand and follow along. I make this recipe literally almost every week. Nothing compares to freshly baked homemade bread, NOTHING! I just had a question, I've thought about doubling the recipe to make 4 loaves. Would you do so just like any other recipe, including yeast, etc? Just wanted to make sure.. Thanks again, your the best!

  • @Dz0221 I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, to make four loaves, double all the ingredients. Just don't double the temperature of the oven ; ) Everything else stays the same. Have fun!!

  • Comment removed

  • wow!!! that is really brilliant, i can improve my bread making yet.... thanks for sharing, brilliant video..

  • Thanks a lot! This was good bread!

    I've been trying for a month and almost gave up. But this was perfect. I used a bread machine for the needing; I don't think I needed more than 2 cups water with the machine doing the needing.

    ** I subscribed and will be looking forward to a whole wheat demo. Do you make that kind?

  • @michaelcox951 Yes, I make 60% whole wheat bread. I've tried making 100% whole wheat and it comes out like a brick. I'll try to make a video for 60% whole wheat soon as I've had a lot of requests for whole wheat. Thanks for watching. Keep baking!!!

  • @EZeeWriter I want the 60% whole wheat recipe as well along with anything else you make cause wow I searched alot of vids and yours was simple and to the point with the right amount of humor. Not to mention how "yum" the bread was.

  • can you make my bread for me! =D

  • I LOVE THIS!!!

  • love it I am going to try this today

  • best recipe ive found to date, very simple and very effective!

  • I don't usually comment on recipes, but this recipe was fantastic. I have tried for years to make bread but not successful but this turned out superb. Easy to follow, great taste and texture. thanks so much and I would love one for buns and french bread please. LOL

  • @carolac1955 I'm glad it works for you. I'll try to make more videos on bread. I haven't tried to make french bread yet, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks for watching.

  • @EZeeWriter great job, are you going to make anymore videos on other recipes?

  • this video was great!, and humorous! i tried this out, it was easy and delicious.. thanks so much for the recipe!

  • I followed your white bread recipe and it turned out just perfect!!! Your instruction was simple and easy to understand. Your humor is also wonderful. Thank you.  Looking forward to your other recipes.

  • got it right the first time. thanks for ur video. please do post more video on wholemeal bread.

  • Wonderful video.. It would be great if u cud post more baking videos :)

  • Dear please explain tge baking temp as mu electric oven shows 250C as maximum.does it mean i cannot bake the bread in it or the temp u mentioned is in Farhnheit 350F for the said time ......... waiting for your advise

  • @lcms101 Hi.  For celcius, 350 deg farenheit is 177 deg celcius. So just set your oven to 175 deg celcius and see if that works. Good luck and have fun baking bread. Thanks for watching my video.

  • Awesome and funny video!! Makes me want 2 go and make some home made bread! love 2 see more!!

  • You should make more vids! I'm starting to likeb them all ready.

  • by far the best one i have seen. only cause your a gamer lol. looked so tasty i want some

  • Thanks for your video, I had tried other method of No-Knead bread but this is the best yet, fantastic, yum yum! You just can't get a better tasting loaf of bread as this in no grocery store no where.Thanks again!

  • sexy lady makeing bread ftw

  • nice, a homemade bread

  • great video! loved it.... you are one of a kind video-maker.

  • cool lady : )

  • ZEE I followed your recipe last sunday for making bread my very first time, and i would like to say it was delicious, thank you very much!!

  • Great video! You have inspired me to try to bake my own bread! Loved it when you were playing the videos! LOL!

  • Great video. Could I use instant yeast instead of active? Anything to look out for?

  • @ac55699 Yes you can. I've never done it, but aparently with instant yeast you just add it to the dry ingredients. There's no need to proof it. Read the directions on the instant yeast package and see if you need to adjust anything else, like water. Thanks for watching.

  • Great vid.

  • ps3 and baking is the way to go.

  • Excellent video with right direction... well done.. I'm off to make my own bread..thanks for this recipe...

  • "This was my first time baking bread" I send you A BIG THANK YOU :-))

    My bread looked as yummy as yours!! Also it was soooo good :-)) tytytytytytyty

  • Can you use different sized loaf pans?

  • @TheNerds3 Sorry for the laate reply. Yes you can use different sized loaf pans but you may get different results. You'll either need to adjust the recipe or put more or less dough in each pan depending on whether the pan is larger or smaller. You may also need to adjust the baking times.

  • Thank u zee ...!wonderful preparation of bread it is very useful for me

  • looks delicious

  • very nice video, im about to go try it right now! lol hope i do it right!,

  • great!!!!

  • Hi Zee ...it would be great if you provide us the ingredients and quantities as a list ... :>) ...by the way, the total # of flour cups are 61/2, right?

  • You add 3 1/2 cups of flour twice, so 7 cups total. I'll have to figure out a way to add a list of ingredients. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Well it is very simple, you can write it in the descrition area of your video where you write: "Learn how to make white bread from scratch with me. Zee. "

  • Beautiful Video!!! thank you so much!!

    Now I have a question ...If I wanted to have fresh bread in the morning for breakfast, Could I make the dough at night ready for the oven in the morning?

    How are these pillbury dough that they keep in a conteniner ready to bake? (I stop using them because I no0ticed that the aluminum from the can sticks to the dough and we were eating that stuff) Thanks!!

  • It is possible to refridgerate dough overnight. I've never done it, so I can't give you any advice. Yeast will continue to rise even in a fridge. I'd do some research first if I were going to try that. Good luck.

  • Thank you!! I'll try that, I've also seen that Publix sells pizza dough in a plastic bag, so it should definetely work UNLESS there's some preservative to be added in which that case I will not do it because the beauty of making your own food is to avoid the poison restaurants and supermarkets and food companies put in the food.

  • @EZeeWriter Is it possible 4 U 2 upload more vids for baking other breads such as wheat bread, raisin & cinnimon breads seeing the ur info was so detailed, easy & fun I would not mind seeing more vids that u upload. You made it look so easy that my family is willing to participate in making this recipe. Thanks for this recipe.

  • I made this video using equipment from my local college. Soon I'll buy my own equipment and start making and posting more videos. I'll try to include more videos on making different kinds of breads. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • This is a very good video :) What does kneading dough really do? Also do you just make different kinds of bread by adding different flour?

    Awesome!

  • Wheat contains a protein called gluten. When you knead the bread the gluten helps form the texture that we love. The yeast and the gluten together help make those nice little bubbles in the bread that help the bread rise and become light and fluffy. It's very important to knead the dough well for about 10 minutes. I don't know what you would get if you didn't knead. Probably a brick. I'm glad you liked the video. Hope you have fun making bread from scratch.

  • Wheat has a protein called gluten. With kneading, it changes and develops into something useful for making bread. We help the gluten and yeast develop those little air bubbles and that great bread texture we love. If you don't knead for about 10 min, you may end up with a brick. You can see in the video how smooth the bread was after kneading compared to before I started kneading. Gluten is doing its thing. Do some research before using different flours. Proteins vary between grains.

  • I made this bread just yesterday and it turned out GREAT! It was my first time making bread and I was terrified I'd screw it up - nope! Your instructions are perfectly clear and following them yielded awesome results. Thanks so much for this video!

  • Do you know what ingredients to use to make wheat bread?

  • There are many different whole wheat bread recipes. I've made 100% whole wheat bread once and it turned out like a brick. It's too dense. Best to try 60% whole wheat and 40% white or half and half. You would use basically the same ingredients but I haven't tried wheat bread enough to recommend a good recipe. Have fun experimenting.

  • You are great! Very clear, easy to follow and a very detailed! Just perfect! Thank you!

  • I seen all the other "bread videos", but this was the most clear and enjoyable one. I feel I can do it if I follow YOUR directions. Thanks!

  • I followed your directions and my bread turned out great! This was my first time making bread. Thanks.

  • thats great thanks

  • did anyone ever tell you you remind them of Kathy Bates character in "Misery"? You should check it out. Great VId.

  • Wow, Kathy Bates won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her performance in "Misery". She's one of my favorite actresses of all time. Thanks.

  • Yes! She does look like Kathy Bates! I thought she looked familiar!

  • This is a great video. I made this bread last weekend and now I´m back for more! Thanks!

  • good video

  • Your very funny and nice and a very good cook :)

  • That was great thank youuuuuuu!!!

  • What, not doing laundry at the river to save money the way the economy is right now???

  • Hey, that's a great idea for a new video. And I live across the street from a river.

  • LOL.....

  • You are quite funny and I loved the tutorial! Thanks!!!

  • You are a funny lady, really enjoyed your knowledge of bread making. I am going to try to make my own bread, thanks for the great video!

  • you put it in a cool oven but the you turn it on???? or not at all, becouse my bread with cool weather doesn't rise!!! let me know. Thanks!!! ;0)

  • The oven isn't on for the first rise, it's just draft free & room temp. As long as the yeast is good the bread will eventually rise, it may take more than an hour in a cooler place. If the dough doesn't rise at all, either the yeast was no good or perhaps the salt got to it. Have you proofed your yeast? If it did double or triple in size and thicken in the warm water in ten minutes, then it should be good. Add the salt after mixing in about half the flour. Hope you try again. Good luck : )

  • thank you soo much for making this video, i guess i'll have to divide this recipe by 2 since i'll be baking for one person (unless i want to feed my entire dorm xd)

  • Have fun with it. If you freeze the bread, it'll be easier if you slice the entire loaf and store two slices per freezer bag so you can just pluck it out of the freezer and pop in the toaster, or leave on the counter wrapped in a tea towel (minus the bag) for about 20-30 minutes to defrost at room temp. Not quite like fresh out of the oven, but still pretty darn good.

  • Zee!  Thank you SO much. I have never been able to make bread well - it's always come out tasteless and dense. This came out SO good. I halved the recipe just in case it came out bad - now I wish I had made the full recipe!

    Thank you thank you thank you!

  • You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the bread YOU made. How cool is that? You made bread from scratch!!!
