As a kid I was very much fascinated about bakeries..I love the smell that comes out of the shop and the different shapes and sizes of the breads increases my eagerness to see how its made but never got a chance to visit the kitchen ..poor me.. now as I am into cooking n all I was very excited to bake a bread of my own.. so here I am, its my first ever bake and it turned out to be really good, Never thought baking a bread is so much easy and I hope to try other fascinating shapes in near future
- 2 -2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoon of rapid rise yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 8 inch square or round baking pan
- Combine 3/4 cup flour, sugar, dry yeast and salt in a large mixer bowl and stir until blended.
- Combine milk, water and butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 15 second increments until very warm but not hot to the touch (Butter won’t melt completely). Add to flour mixture.
- Beat 2 minutes scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1/4 cup flour; beat 2 minutes. Stir in just enough remaining flour so that the dough will form into a ball.
- Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic and springs back when lightly pressed with 2 fingers, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover with a towel; let rest for 10 minutes.
- Cut dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls using your hands. Place in greased 8-inch round or square pan. Cover with towel; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes .
- Bake in preheated 190ºC oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan by running a knife around the edges and invert onto wire rack; brush with additional melted butter, if desired.
- Serve warm with loads of love added as toppings.
