How to Bake Bread, Noreen's Kitchen: Everyday Loaf Recipe

[olguita201]

i love the way you bake and cook!!!

[chondram]

Where do you buy your yeast so it can be frozen, or can you freeze all yeasts? Love the large bag you have, never saw that before! TY

[maddogmona]

I just tried your recipe, I doubled it as you did. You are SO right, the texture is amazing. Feels great when it comes out of mixer ! I did learn the hard way tonight though that putting the pans of dough on a granite countertop to rise will NOT work. They didn't budge. Then I figured t out, the counter was sucking all the heat. If I put my hand under where the loaves were it was warmer than the rest of the counter. Poor little loaves, they froze for 45 mintues. Thanks for the recipe.

that looks awesome! one question... it is plain flour or self raising flour?

[ArizonaPublic]

Looks great! - I will try it this weekend. BTW, I usually cover the bread with a damp cloth whilst the bread is cooling, No need to do that with this one?

[ArizonaPublic]

Yummy!

[SuperRefractorman]

Thank you very much. I am very excited to try out the recipe.

those look great noreen... does it stay fresh all week... i have to bake mine daily or it goes stale... do the potatoe flakes help keep it fresh? i heard once that ascorbic acid will keep bread fresh but have no idea the amounts to use... have you ever heard of doing that? as always...tkx

[atticus9799]

@skybirdbird Yes, mine stays fresh all week in a ziplock bag. The potato flakes help to keep the bread fresh and soft. If you want to use ascorbic acid, you can just crust a vitamin C tablet and use 1/8 teaspoon for one recipe of bread. Add it with the yeast. Yeast loves vitamin C! I use it all the time for certain bread recipes. Not this one, but anything with a heavier grain it definitely goes in!

Hi Noreen thanks for this recipe I have never made yeast bread on white I love your recipes..

[Sheila6325]

Before you even said it, I thought "A baby's tushie" LOL I guess a lot of us think alike.

I'm making this bread today, it looks so easy. I love homemade bread and this is wonderful.

[bintlooda]

Thank u so much ;** will give it a try v soon

[valbakke]

I'm surprised you don't buy flour by the 25lb bags!

[atticus9799]

@valbakke I could, but I order mine online directly from KAF. I like to order the 5lb bags so that I can vacuum seal them. When you only have to open a small bag, You always have fresh flour. I won't use a 25lb bag that fast.

[valbakke]

Do you think it would be ok with less butter? My everyday bread recipe has only 1 TBS for one loaf. I do LOVE butter! But try to cut down on the saturated fats. Thanks

[atticus9799]

@valbakke I don't know. Try it and see. I've always used this recipe. You could sub vegetable oil with a similar result.

[GloriaNak]

OMG that looks so good.

[navajopa31]

Noreen: Nice presentation. Don't you love the feel of dough when it is just perfect. I see you use the best flour on the market for baking. I am sold on it. I sift my flour about 5 or 6 times with the salt and sugar added in. Do you see the need to sift the flour? It seems to make the bread lighter. I am going to give your variation of potato flakes and dry milk a try. I use the same mixer. Love it. Thanks for the work you put into your videos. Who would hit the dislike button! FYI I am a male.

[GrammyTammi]

You guys crack me up. I can't tell you how many times I LOL during this video.. "tushys, I washed my hands yesterday, what did it do to you!" I so enjoy your channel!!!!

[ownhomedog]

Great recipe Noreen. I hope to try it. Is that a 6 quart kitchen aid that you have? I have a 6Q and it is very noisy - i have only used it a a handful of times.

[valbakke]

I use potato flour in my bread. I wasn't to happy about what is in the potato flakes. Potato flour costs more but worth it. We buy our flour and baking ingredients from Azure. Thanks for posting the video!

[meharris0925]

I really like this, but how do you store it once baked to keep it moist and fresh? How many days before we need to eat it up? Can this be frozen to use in another recipe if we don't eat it all in time? What do you do if you have some left over? Thanks!!!

[meharris0925]

@meharris0925 Now I read your comments section under the video and feel dumb, you had already answered it. Thanks!

[Michigansnowpony]

Ewwww -- Noreen, there's a pro-Obama commercial on your channel!! Horrors!!! (wink!) Funny, I was just thinking of doing a bread video! I'm waiting on a couple of giveaways to come before I do it as I want to combine it with a contest. My mom made bread every week of her adult life without a recipe and of course, I never paid attention. . . . Had to learn on my own and always on the lookout for a recipe I may like better than what I use.

[atticus9799]

@Michigansnowpony I KNOW! I have done every conceivable thing to block the political ads from running at the beginning of my vids, however I suppose what the messiah wants, the messiah gets. So no amount of blocking will stop them. Oh Well. I hope you will give this recipe a try. We love it and it is hard for me to not have to bake in the middle of the week. I have to sometimes ration it. LOL! Noreen : )

[16hilltyKMS]

How much butter was it? You left the butter out on your website.

[atticus9799]

@16hilltyKMS Thanks for the heads up. I'll go fix that ASAP. The amount for 1 loaf is 6 tablespoons at room temp. Thanks! Noreen : )

[FrenchHornSweetheart]

Also I noticed from your videos and also another woman here. That both of you have potato flakes, milk power, cheese powder etc. In food storage. These type of dry goods I never buy, but I am considering on purchasing some from the bulk barn soon, along with some more large containers to store them in. I do have canned milk in my food storage, along with sweetened condensed milk.

[FrenchHornSweetheart]

We have this standard bread recipe that makes 3 loaves or buns,etc.It takes 1/2 cup of oil &we use olive oil in it.Sometimes if we have left over mashed potatoes in the fridge we add them also in the mixture,along with some carmelized onions.The receipe is very forgiving if you want to use half whole wheat also..The together gift we bought each other for Xmas this year a Kitchen aid mixer is the best thing since sliced bread.

[Skyhawk1987Turbo]

in stead of butter can you use olive oil?

[Diva63113]

Thank you for sharing this recipe with us Noreen!!! This looks like it is a very easy bread recipe. Can you use this same bread dough to make rolls with?

[MsAnna4040]

wow, that is some good lookin bread!

[NibiruMagick2012]

18:42 I make that Whole wheat/Oatmeal no yeast bread.

It is heavier but Very good with soups and stews.

Try doubling the honey ;)~

[jaxsmomma13]

do you think you can tweak this for a bread machine for us? and we prefer white bread could we use regular AP flour?

[atticus9799]

@jaxsmomma13 I don't use a bread machine, so I wouldn't know how to adjust the recipe for you. I had one and hated it. As far as the flour goes, I did use regular all purpose flour.

[dek2711]

This is an awesome recipe...i have failed soooo many times making bread that i have just given up.Im planning to start on the sourdough 2day.I just have a question regarding this recipe...can we use potato flakes that we get in the regular grocery stores(like kroger/walmart) or are they somehow different from the ones you buy?

[atticus9799]

@dek2711 The food storage potato flakes are exactly the same as the Idahoan or other types of potato flakes. You should have no problem finding them. Mine are no different except that they are in a big can.

[dek2711]

@atticus9799 Thanks so much for ur reply..ill be ingredient shopping 2day

[dek2711]

@atticus9799 Im so happy Noreen..for the FIRST time in my life i made an awesome loaf of bread.My husband gave it a 2 thumbs up...and its all because of you.Please upload more bread recipes.Im never buying sliced bread ever!!

[iamscrappybuttons]
