  • Ok i havent been able to go past the yeast stage. My yeast just doesnt bubble. Ive gone as far as to take the temperature of the water to make sure its at 110 degrees. It says the yeast deosnt expire until the year 2013, so its not old. It just doesnt bubble! The back of the packet says to dissolve it in 1/4 cup warm water and 1/4 cup sugar and then deduct the 1/4 cup water from total liquid in the recipe? What does that even mean?! Should i try it with sugar and see if it bubbles or not?

  • @AneyLeos2007 Yes, you could follow the directions on the packet & let the yeast disolve in the 1/4 cup water. When you go to make the bread, just measure the amount of water/liquid in the recipe MINUS 1/4 cup (since you will be adding that 1/4 cup back in WITH the yeast you disolved in it. The yeast may not get super bubbly but if it's not expired & you have the right water & sugar, it should work just fine. Good luck!

  • @a1angiem after about 6 packets of yeast i finally got it to bubble! :D I did what u did and just added a pinch of sugar and that helped! Now i hope i kneaded the bread long enough, im letting it rise now.

  • @AneyLeos2007 So how did it turn out????

  • @a1angiem They were pretty good, but it has more of a bolillo texture rather than sandwich bread because when i set it to rise the first time, i set it on top of the oven and it was apparently too hot because the bottom of the dough baked while rising. It turned golden brown lol. So it didnt rise the second time as well as it should have. But it was still tasty! Gonna try it again soon. :)

  • Mine isnt rising! >.< wuaahhh! :(

  • @AneyLeos2007 oh, that is so disappointing & frustrating when that happens! Was your yeast very fresh? Water not too hot or cold? Sugar & salt quantities accurate? I'm sorry that it didn't rise!

  • can you use baking soda instead of yeast?

  • @kazke0001 not for this recipe. you could try my irish soda bread recipe....

  • @a1angiem thank you !

  • I'm just wondering if I wanted to make maybe 6 loaves do I have to triple the ingredients? Triple the yeast?

  • @baileyl10 theoretically, yes....but it would be a lot of dough to handle!

  • I gotta try this! Nice vid! Thanks, a1angiem!

  • @prettyquellie you're welcome, thanks for watching!

  • how large is your stainless steel bowl? I would like to get one that size.

  • I always make homemade bread in a oven, who said you couldn't? xD!

    Gawd this looks so yummy <3

  • I loved making this recipe! My question is tho, can this or is it ok to half this recipe? there is only me and unless I eat nothing but bread at every meal, 2 loaves are a bit too much. But oh it was wonderful!

  • I tried making bread and it kept being really hard as a rock. Then after I watched this video I tried again and Succeed! Im 12! My father always said we learn from mistakes.

  • @ReaverRism That's awesome! Thanks for letting me know...and your dad is absolutely correct!!!

  • Angie I will be trying this tomorrow ...i think with your help I will finally get it right.

  • @ladylowrider Wonderful! Enjoy...and I'm sure it will be delish!!!

  • I almost never bake or cook anything but I wanted to try baking my own bread for some reason. I looked at numerous recipes and chose to go with yours and I couldn't be happier. It turned out great. I couldn't believe it, they are so beautiful. I could hardly wait for them to cool so I could try it. When I told my friend I was going to try baking bread in the oven she said it couldn't be done and that I should get a bread maker. Ha, guess she's in for a tasty surprise. Thanks for posting this.

  • @buttersnatch420 Aww, what an awesome comment! That makes me so happy! I'm glad you are happy and proud...and can show off and share! That's the best! So, thanks for watching and you're welcome!!!

    - Angie

  • I'm making this right now, my bread dough is not as smooth looking as yours but I did it by hand so I am hopeing thats normal lol. My bread is in the oven for the first rise. I will keep you posted on how it comes out. Thanks!

  • @sherrilenett Oooh, yum! Hope it turns out well and you enjoy all that yummy bread!! Bet it smells good at your house!!

  • Angie, I can't bake bread no matter how many times I have tried but this recipe WORKS! I have allowed it to rise overnight, made dinner rolls and cinnamon bread, and basted it with melted butter to make a soft sandwich bread for my kids. No matter what I do to this recipe it just works. Thanks for sharing!

  • @preising That makes me very happy! So glad it works for you and is so versatile. Yummy! Thanks too for letting me know - happy baking! :)

  • I just made my first batch. It looks a little dry and I didn't know if I should add a little water. Anyway, I didn't and I'm letting it proof now. In the future, if it looks a little dry, is it o.k. to add a couple of tablespoons of water. Also, where did you get your bowl?

  • i think its cheaper just to buy it at the store

  • @briangunn21 probably. but it is fun to make at home and tastes sooo good!

  • @briangunn21 but not healthy.homemade bread is something u dont get until u dont make.try it.i was like u b4.but now i would never but readymade bread.believe me.

  • Forgot to add.

    My wife is fascinated with the bread I made. :)

  • @ruizhernandeztrustfi That makes it EVEN BETTER! :)

  • Cool!

    I will buy all the ingredients tomorrow and start making my own homemade bread. Thanks for making this video.

  • @ruizhernandeztrustfi Sounds good! Enjoy it! And thanks for watching!

  • @a1angiem

    Hi, I did the bread today and final product was a complete success and it tasted like heaven. Thanks again. :)

    I'm subscribing for more future recipes. :)

  • @ruizhernandeztrustfi That's great! Isn't it satisfying?? (The making, AND the eating!!)...I'm glady ou enjoyed it and thanks for subbing...new vids every Monday and more about cooking and baking on my blog. Thanks again, enjoy all that bread!

  • I'd like to do this to make whole wheat bread. Should I do anything different if it is whole wheat?? My mom used to always make home made bread but she left it to rise overnight, she put a damp tea towel over it, and when done baking her bread had like a split in the top. Do you have any idea why?? Does that make much difference??

  • wow. you make it look so easy. sure wish i had that kitchenaid.

  • can some sugar be added to make the bread sweet?

  • i'm going into the kitchen to make this bread right now with my new wolfgang puck mixer....i'm going to try to melt some butter and spread it on there with cinnamon and raisons for 1 lofa during the step where you roll it up before putting it in for the second rise i hoep this works!!!!!! ty so much

  • @mom4aaa sounds like a yummy idea! Thanks for watching...and glad your kitchen smells so scrumptious! :)

  • @a1angiem it was totally delicious but next time i will put the raisins in the dough because they kept falling out!!

  • hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, which oven r u using microwavw or otg

  • omg, angie you always get me hooked on bread making and pie baking! im going to have to make some bread soon.

  • @angusMCjamison nomnom!

  • Thanks for the wonderful video...Am just learning how to bake Bread, it seems easy the way you did it..but for me it seems dificult. The question i want to ask is that, depends on how much quantity i may need and that is how am going to measure the ingridients? And some people use eggs, but how come u does nt use egg?

  • @MrAbel1111 Some bread recipes add egg(s) for flavour and I do have an egg bread video on youtube. You need to measure the ingredients accurately using simple measuring cups (dry and liquid)...there are good videos for tutorials on that. You can purchase inexpensive measuring tools or you could borrow some! lol! Good luck, it just takes a bit of practice but it's worth it!

  • Hi Angie, thanks for the great video. I am new to baking. I have a question on the type of yeast you used in the video. You mentioned "instant yeast" but you let the dough rise twice. Isn't that the procedure for "Dry Active Yeast"? Isn't "Instant Yeast" the kind that you only let it rise only once? Can they be cross used? Sorry, I didn't mean to be technical, just want to know the correct way. Thanks in advance.

  • @myownstarbucks Instant yeast can be added to the dough without 'proofing' it first (soaking it in the sugar water) but you still have to raise the dough before you can shape it and then raise it again shaped as a loaf...it makes for a nice textured loaf, with small air bubbles and even appearance. Active dry yeast needs to be proofed. Rapid-rise yeast is not much different from instant, but supposedly rises slightly faster.

  • Is there anything else i could use other than yeast? i don't have that,... :\

  • @MegaPft no, you need yeast for this bread recipe. Check out my soda bread recipe video for a no-yeast, fast-to-make bread.

  • Thanks again for your great help Angie!!!

  • @cipher2 Oh, you're welcome!

  • Wow Angie, you've taught 48,035 people to make bread, including me a year ago! You deserve some kind of award. Just a helpful tip for newbies, from an old cookbook of mine. Dough is doubled in size and ready to shape into loaves when you can lightly and quickly press two fingertips 1/2 inch into the dough and the indentation remains.

    With this EXCELLENT tutorial ANYBODY can make bread! Thanks again!

  • @mixedupjo ha!ha! Thanks! That is a pretty cool statistic - I wonder how many actually made the bread! lol! Well, I'm glad you are enjoying it - and that is exactly correct about when the dough is ready! Thank you very much for checking in and leaving a comment, it's very sweet and very appreciated! Big hug!

  • Do you have to proof the yeast in the water (with a little sugar) first to let it activate?

  • @nightscape2008 not necessary with instant yeast...but you can if you want.

  • What type of flour are you using? Self rising or all purpose

  • @ads92557 all purpose

  • by god, MAYBE I can make yeast bread! It's been my enemy for years.. I can cook or bake about anything else .. you hand me a recipe.. and I can make it.. but BREAD... *shakes fist* i suck.. maybe not anymore though...!?!?!?! :)

  • @calin719 yes you can!

  • I cannot wait to try this myself, I have been wanting to start making things from scratch to save money since we are on a tight budget now that we are only on one income for now. Thanks for the video!!!

  • @lilmiss51983 Well, i hope you enjoy it! not only does it save money, but it keeps you busy (not shopping!lol!) and tastes amazing! i have tons of recipes and ideas on my blog as well you might want to try, as well as my youtube channel. thanks for watching - let me know how you get on.

  • I tried this and it didn't rise very much after i put it into the bread pan. I went back over the video and realized that I only put 1/2 cup water instead of 1 & and a half. I feel really dumb now. Next time i get more flour at the store I'll try it again with the correct measurements.

  • @Sanchanlive Oops! I've done that before - or left something out entirely! Did you know the recipe is written out under the video in the info section? You can cut, paste, and print it. Better luck with the next attempt, just remember fresh yeast & careful measuring. thanks so much for watching and commenting.

  • @a1angiem I didn't notice till after when i was going back over to see what i did wrong.

  • MMmMMMmMMmmm...... Love me some home-made bread. Might have to try this! (and fail miserably :P)

  • @brandonman94 Nooo, you can do it!  thanks for watching!

  • @a1angiem As a follow-up, I found a video (and incorporated some tips from here), and it was some of the best bread I've eaten :P

  • This is the best instruction I have seen. You give such great instruction on how to shape them as well. A challenge for most beginners. I am going to try this tomorrow for our Canadian Thanksgiving. Thank you kindly. :)

  • @deedevinebrake Thanks for commenting! How'd they work out? And hope you had a nice Thanksgiving (I'm Canadian too!)

  • @a1angiem Not bad for the first time with this recipe. My sons(teenagers) really liked it. Thanksgiving was nice, hope yours was as well. Off to work, take care.

  • i just cooked lastnight. first it rised double. but after i put into 9x5 pan it rised under the edge of pan only... not like yours. and the bread looked so brown. i baked at 200C for 35 minutes. what is the problem? tq

  • @TheMariaevelina Yes, it has to rise in the pan so that it looks like bread already...b/c it won't rise more in the oven. The only thing i can suggest is use brand new yeast and make sure it rises all the way before baking...it could take 45-60 mins. also make sure to measure all the ingredients very accurately as too much water, too much salt, etc. will affect the yeast....hope that helps a little.

  • You have made me King of the Kitchen! My wife loves your bread recipe. The bread turned out very well! WOW!  Thanks again so much for sharing! I've never made bread before because I thought it was so hard, but now I see it isn't hard at all. Have a great week! P.S. Lemon Loaf is next : ) yummmm

  • @TexasCannoneer oh my gosh, you don't know how happy that comment makes me!! I love to hear about hubbies making treats for their wives!  So glad you tried it and were successful - fun, eh? And by golly, you are going to LOVE the lemon loaf!! Pick out your throne!!!

  • wow! that was amazing! I love this recipe...i am going to try this out now...way to gooo...bread is my favorite thing...thank you for the tips...and bless you for sharing

  • @Paul90896 Hey, thanks! I hope you enjoy it...it's worth the effort!

  • This was VERY informative...I am going to the kitchen right now and trying it myself - Thank you for posting this!

  • @TexasCannoneer ha!ha! I was thinking about making some today too! It's really cold and yucky here and homemade bread would really smell good! Have fun - I'm sure you'll love the results! thank you...

  • gracias

  • don't be offended but i realized u are canadian from how u say "out" in the video, its cool cool ..i like ur videos though ..learned many things

  • @cycober ha!ha! I really don't hear it! lol! but thanks for watching and so glad you learned something!!

  • @a1angiem

    It was very good ,I make my own bread at home with bread maker,but this is was awesome and you are very good at everything. Thanks

  • @samgolnaz Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it...and thanks so much for the sweet compliment!

  • i made 10 of these and i made $30

  • @MikeyJ956 Omg, really??? That's awesome...but I think you should charge more!

  • thank you for the video very nice to follow and yer your right about the computer smelly vision mmmmmmmm

  • Awesome technique! You really make it seem doable for a novice baker!

  • i think i know where you found the recipe lol. Either way good demonstration

  • @smartpartsionlover Came with the mixer...

  • what kinda flour did u use...thx

  • @blakagaga just regular, all purpose flour (white or non-bleached)

  • Nice video, try a plastic bowl as the metal tends to get cold.

  • Hey. I love your videos! Thanks for sharing. I'm only 13 and whenever I see your video I just have to try it cause it looks so yummy!

  • @mikuseko7 Oh, that's nice! It's good to start young - making and eating your own, healthy food! Good for you! Thanks for watching...:)

  • Hi Angie, I know you have a bread machine b/c I watched how you used it to make the dough for your cinnamon roll presentation. I'm curious as to why you didnt use it to make homemade bread. Is it at all possible to get the same great tasting bread with my bread machine using the same recipe that you used in this video? thx. great video as always

  • @bethal1998 I have several vids showing bread machine bread recipes. I use it all the time! My old bread machine makes fantastic bread! This is just a different recipe, and it's nice b/c it makes 2 loaves at a time. thanks!

  • can i use handmixer instead of your kitchen aid?

    because i only have handmixer....

    if i use handmixer, is it gonna take more time than kitchen aid?

  • @pdlichae An electric hand-mixer will NOT be powerful enough to make bread and you could damage it by trying. But you definitely can mix this up by hand, with a good 'ole wooden spoon. Just mix the ingredients and then add the flour gradually until you get a shaggy dough. You will then turn it out onto a floured board and knead by hand until smooth and elastic (could be up to 15 mins!)...then proceed. Hope that helps! Good luck, enjoy!

  • how long will it last?

  • @mdjk89 Not as long as store-bought! I'd give it a day or 2 at the most - but it actually goes stale (unlike store-bought, which goes mouldy faster and never dries out!)...but in our house, it gets eaten on day1, hour 1?, b/c it's soo yummy!

  • Angie, My older white bread recipes always turn out a dense and heavy loaf .I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong! anyhow, I'm off to try your recipe right now using my kitchen aid. I'll let everyone know how it turned out .

    Thank You for the recipe tutorial, it helps.

  • @scared5hitless Some causes of dense, heavy loaves are that the bread did not rise enough (make sure your yeast is fresh) or the bread rose too much and cells collapsed (check it until it is double in size). Hopefully you will have good luck with the recipe I shared. I look forward to hearing how it turned out! Thanks!

  • awesome just awesome i know how to make french bread by hand but i thought to myself damn what about white bread and BAM there it is.

  • @viledischarge666 So glad I was at the right place at the right time! :)

  • Let me guess, the recipe you used came with your kitchen aide mixer? :D I have the same one.

  • @jaakizamazin The very same! It's a good one, eh?

  • @a1angiem Yes, it is. My very first loaf I used that recipe and came out great. :)

  • Just made my first loaf by this video :D Thanks so much for posting-it turned out wonderfully!

  • Thank you for posting this. I've been making crusty bread for years, but only tried making enriched sandwich bread once before. Your recipe is better I think, and it looks really good. :)

  • lol computer smellovision. fresh bread does smell good tho

  • i need to try this, it look so guuuuuuud!!!!

  • Great video. I would have loved to see you slice it so that we could see the texture. :)

  • Really nice video..Very informative. Thanks!

  • Thanks so much for your video'. it turned a lonely night into a fun and new experience. and best of all it tasted fantastic!!!!!

  • thank you

  • can you use quick rising yeast?

  • Yes.

  • how do you know if your water is warm?

  • Just stick your finger in it...it shouldn't be cold, shouldn't be hot.  Juuuuust right!

  • With this recipe, can we replace the All-purpose flour with Wholemeal flour?

  • Have you ever tried using Self Raising Flour to make bread?

    Does yeast still needed if Self Raising Flour is used rather than Plain Flour?

  • Self rising flour has the addition of baking powder, not yeast. You would need yeast for this recipe. I just use all-purpose flour but you can use bread flour too.

  • Do you think you can you make the bread without adding the sugar?

  • You need the sugar to "feed" the yeast....so you can't leave it out with good results.

  • thank you,

    Ps.I love your videos.

  • Can honey be used in place of sugar?

  • without sugar it will not be smooth and browned

  • Thank you dear.

  • you can feed the yeast much better with about 3 grams of clear karo (corn syrup) because it's better nutrition for the yeast. half a teasoon.

  • Hello, what did you grease the loafs pans with?

  • You can just use soft butter (spread with your fingers or a paper towel) or cooking spray...or olive oil/veg. oil

  • Thank you so much. I have not had homemade bread since my gramma passed away in 1994.

  • LOL, this video is so interesting, it kept me from doing my English essay. (:

  • Thanks SOOO much for this! I have been using this basic recipe and experimenting with the amounts for the last three weeks. Finally arrived at the penultimate texture and taste! This was a really big help.

    On thing I did was I substituted the water specified for some of my southern sweet Iced tea. Gives the bread a distinctly bittersweet bite.^_^

  • Excellent! That's a pretty innovative idea using iced tea! Wow!

  • Nice to actually see what "smooth and elastic" looks like. I have been trying to bake bread for years and never quite comes out right... I dont think I am kneading it long enough. I usually do 8-10 min. I will give 15 min a try. Great video.

  • Thank you. And make sure your yeast is very fresh too.  Good luck!

  • thank you sooo much for this recipe!!!

    :D you are an excellent explainer

  • Thank you!

  • I love the way you explain every step and, you cover the steps for people who dont have a mixer or a rolling pin! I am newly married and dont have much in the kitchen, i will try your recipe today, it will be my second time ever making bread i hope it turn out as good as yours, but how long do you bake it? 25-35 min?

  • Thank you! Bake for about 30 minutes, correct...the recipe is in the side panel. Enjoy!

  • Great video, thanks for sharing! I watched a bunch of videos before deciding to follow yours and I'm happy I did.

    My dough wasn't as pliable (sp?) as yours after mixing in the flour. I wonder if I added too much flour? And it turned out a bit heavy. It's very good, but I'm wondering what can be done to make it lighter?

    Again, thank you!

  • Thank you for choosing my video! Did you mix your dough by hand? I used a mixer with a dough attachment so it did all the work for me. It takes a lot of kneading to get the dough smooth and elastic. It is possible you added too much flour, but more likely just needed some more kneading. Was your yeast very fresh? You can try using bread flour as well, which would probably make a lighter loaf. Hope that helps!

  • 15 minutes to knead? arent the loaves tough?

  • What oven tempature do you set it for

    I heard to say it for second but you kind of said it fast

  • The temp and recipe are on the side info bar...400 degrees F. Thanks!

  • Nice expaining,.

  • wow.. i think a foil sheet would do great :D

    i just want a taller loaf, just want to see if i can make a loaf bread with the size of bread i always bought.

    such a nice video you made. and thanks for the advices, thanks a lot :)

  • tried your recipe, and it tasted as wonderful as it looked :) finally got it right :)

    however, can we make a bigger size of loaf with your recipe?

    thanks :)

  • Well, it makes what it makes...so you could shape the dough however you want...one larger, one smaller, etc. but of course the baking time would be a bit longer.

  • well.. i'm just worried about the top being overcooked if i made a bigger one (with a longer baking time) :(

    should we decrease the heat to avoid overcooking? i don't know much in baking, so.. :S

  • You could make it longer vs. bigger, then it would be the same time...watch it and if it gets too brown on top you could slip a sheet of foil lightly over the top. I wouldn't decrease the temp b/c it would affect the nice crust (I think) - you want that blast of nice hot air! What do you think??? Why don't you want to just make 2 loaves?

  • Just an little help to most folks around the world

    a1angiem has used Canada Imperial Measurement

    here' around down into metric measurement

    1 cup = 250ml

    1 tablespoon = 20ml or if you like 20 gram

    for the USA, UK and New Zealand 1 tablespoon = 15ml or if you like 15 grams

    canada and Australian teaspoon = 5ml 0r 5grams so in dry measure its grams ( just like mL ) much the same on the scale

    well when you go to measure liquid its ml ( again you use grams cause its the same.

  • Thanks for that!!

  • hi what measurement are you using?

    for example one cup measurement in ml =?

    australian cup measurement is = 250ml

    uk cup measurement = 256ml

    USA = 236ml i think

    So whats the cup measurement used here?

    is canada the same as the UK?

    can any here confirm?

    and thanks for the Bread baking demo

  • Canada is metric too, I guess like Australia...1 cup = 250 ml...but my recipe is in Imperial so that's what I used...of course you have to convert the whole recipe to metric. Maybe there's a conversion chart on the net?? Thanks!

  • That look so good!!

    Thank you very much!!

  • thanks again my friend for a great lesson. the bread came out great. however, the crust was really tough until i placed the done loafs in bread wrappers over night. the next day they were soft and great. is that normal??

    thanks again for you fine video.

  • Thank you very much! Yes, homemade bread has a crispy crust, which does soften if covered. If you prefer a soft crust right away, when you take the bread from the oven, just brush it with some soft butter...it will melt in and make a soft crust. Hope that helps! :0)

  • in the video you said instant yeast, but in your info you said active dry yeast. are they interchangeable?

  • sorry, yes...you can use either in this case...in a bread machine if you are using the quick cycle then you need the instant yeast and active dry yeast in the longer, regular cycle...

  • Hello thanks so much for this video I have always wanted to know how make homebread. But I have a few questions. To make the bread can I use self-riasing flour or do I have to use plain flour? If I can used self-riasing do I have to add or take away any ingrediants? And this question may sound weird, but after you bake the beard will the loaf be as big as the ones you can buy in the store or smaller? If you can help me thanks!

  • - just use plain, all-purpose flour

    - self-rising flour has baking powder in it...you don't need that, just use yeast

    - this recipe makes 2 "store sized" loaves of bread...but of course it depends on how you shape the dough and the size of pan you use...a standard loaf pan gives you a regular size home loaf, a bit shorter than what you would buy in the store perhaps...hope that helps.

  • thanks but what are the actual quantities for the half a cup of milk? thnxs!

  • wow thanks for clear and detailed instructions...

  • i did it but it dident rise at all and i put yeast in it

  • You have to make sure the yeast is very fresh (check the expiration date)...also, that your liquid wasn't too hot, that you add the right amount of sugar and salt, and allow enough time to rise in a draft free place...did any of these things perhaps affect it? Let me know...

  • hi angie where can i buy that kind of loaf pan???? thanks!

  • Oh any kitchen supply store, Wal-mart...just with the baking pans, etc.

  • yummmyyyyyy
