Heat the liquid (water or milk work great) to 112 degrees. (110-115 work too). Add the liquid to the yeast with a tsp of water and let sit for 5-10 mins. During that time the yeast will bloom - get foamy. This will let you know that the yeast is working and now your ready to make the bread. instant yeast - you just add this with the dry ingredients and once you add liquid (any tmep) it will start to work. You use 90% less yeast, and cut the rise time down. BUT IMO the flavor is different. MILK bread makes for a softer bread. The fat in the milk acts as a tenderizer and add's flavor to the loaf. It also gives you a better browning to the crust. You can use actual milk in place of water, I recommend whole milk in this case. You need to heat it like you heat the water. Back in the day you needed to scald the milk to kill the bacteria and an enzyme that prevents the yeast from doing it's job - but now milk is pasteurized so there is no reason to scald the milk, just heat to 112 to activate the yeast. OR use dry milk powder. If you have food storage this is a great way to rotate your dry milk. 1/3 C milk powder for every cup of water FLOUR bread flour - just by the name you can tell it's created for making bread. Bread flour has a higher protein content which helps with stability and rise in your bread. Which gives you an airy chewy bread. all purpose flour - you will have lighter, shorter bread that is more dense. POTATO FLAKES This increases fluffiness and moisture to bread. It will also keep you bread fresher longer. 1-2 Tbsp of potato flakes for every 1 C flour. WHITE BREAD RECIPE 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast (2 tsp instant yeast) 1 3/4 C water - heated to 112 (or milk) 3 Tbsp sugar 3+ C bread flour (all purpose works too) 1 1/4 tsp salt 6 Tbsp butter - room temp 1/2 C dry milk powder (optional) 1/2 C potato flakes (optional) 1 egg 1 Tbsp water add the yeast, 1 tsp of the sugar and the warm water to a mixing bowl. Let the yeast bloom for 5-10 mins Add half the flour, the rest of the sugar, the butter, salt, dry milk and potato flakes. Mix until mostly smooth. Add flour 1/2 C at a time until the dough starts to thicken. Then switch to 1/4 C at a time. Make sure you give some knead time in between adding the flour. Add flour until the dough starts to clean the sides of the bowl. Then stop adding flour and keep kneading until the dough is soft and elastic. Test it by grabbing a small ball of dough and pulling it into a square to make sure it stretches thin but doesn't rip. Place the ball of dough into a greased bowl and cover with a tea towel. Let it rise 60-90 mins until doubled in size. knock the dough down and divide in half. Press into a 6x8 inch rectangle and roll into a log. Place into a prepared bread pan and lest rise about 60 mins until the dough rises above the pan by about 1 inch. preheat the oven to 350 mix the egg and water and brush onto the bread bake the bread for 15 mins then top with an aluminum foil tent to keep from over browning and bake another 25-30 mins. let cool slightly then slice and serve, or let cool until the next day to slice thing and use for sandwich bread.
