[404momii]

Thanks for the video - you have given excellent instructions...

Can I use this recipe to make dinner rolls and sausage bun instead of loaf bread?

[pinkyzoey]

Great, but I want to make a light, airy wheat bread. Is this possible? I have bread flour, durum flour, wheat, and all purpose flours as well as vital wheat gluten.

[nep4ever]

can someone tell me if i can replace the shortening with butter?

[mateen9935]

no problem

[lucagoopa]

you say 3 teaspoons of salt but the words say 3 Tablespoons

Who is the bored looking blonde woman at the side about half way through? That freaked me out a bit when I spotted it!

I am baking SPROUTED wheat bread right now!! Healthier, ALIVE and LOW in carbs! Once you sprout the grain, it bemoes a plant and alive and the Carbs are lower!! Ezekiel bread is the kind you buy in the store,, I am baking it with added Lecithin and Malted Barley liquid for lightness, I will try Dough Enhancer, if nneded, next time, I lOVE My Kitchen Aid Pro 600 for bread !!!

@savgal1211 If you love Kitchen Aid, you will love the Breville much more

you say teaspoons of salt in the video but the caption says tablespoons

[bibleboy316]

Um, is it just me or did you forget to mention what temperature to bake the bread?

[sawsaucywow]

@bibleboy316 I know right.

The average person is not going to know how much to knead in and do the time it takes. The KItchen Aid stand mixer makes the best bread, however after you master that it makes much easier to do all of it by hand. Also to get what is really soft airy bread you need something all bakeries use and that is dough enhancer. It helps to make light and retards spoilage as fresh bread does not keep but a couple days. Hodgsen Mills is the one I use currently and went from good to great bread.

@KissHope Love the feedback, thanks for the great tips

[KissHope]

@cookingguide

You are most welcome. Do try the dough enhancer in some bread or dinner rolls. You won't believe what a difference it makes. Unfortunately I bake more now than ever...which is not a bad thing but also means I am eating more of too! lol

Can I use butter instead of shortening? Thanks

[stasisnu18]

@justinbieberiloveu3

yes you can, i never heard of shortening, i always use butter when baking bread and it is delicious so just try it :)

[billathome1965]

When you say 2 and a 1/4 and 3/4 how much is that in Fluid Ounces sorry I work on fluid ounces in the UK. I use about 400fl oz of water never used milk with it so can you use 300fl oz of water and 100fl oz of milk????

Cheers

I'm loving this video. I have been trying to make bread for a few months now and am getting myself mega frustrated because the bread is always once baked.

I'm following my recipes to the tee, but just don't seem to be successful on getting a nice fluffy sandwich bread, only stuff that's good enough to dunk in soup or toast.

You mention in your video that you use a mixture of regular and bread flour, can you please tell me what the ratio is.

Thanks

This video is the same as the quick rye bread one, I though the flour looked a bit pale for rye.

[womflat12587]

Just wondering how hot the over should be?

[rachelcreed]

The salt should be 3 teaspoons. I use Crisco for shortening and it turns out great. 

[BigIncomeLowRisk]

I came across your video yesterday. I'm a baker from way back and after numerous attempts to find the right recipe, my quest for the perfect soft-airy-bread has been solved. I made this bread yesterday and all I can say...it's a winner!

Thank you! I even blogged about it and included your link in my blog.

[fixedshot]

why do you have to smash the dough after you just let it rose? thanks for sharing!

[JohnDUskglass]

What makes store bread soft is the plastic wrapper. After bread has baked and is cooled a little, wrap it in a sterile or very clean plastic bag, if not cool enough, the bread will melt the plastic.

[JohnDUskglass]

Bread out of the oven is losing lots f water, and continues to do so while it cools. But if you wrap it up after it cools some, it will allow the lost water to come back in and re-fresh the bread. This works for any bread. Shortening can be vegitable or animal, animal shortening in bread will make it taste old and moldy. Cook most breads at 350 for soft yeast rolls, 400 for harder breads.

[eujeeves]

Shortening is just lard isn't it?

[florgustilo]
