Simple Home Bread Recipe - By Asha Batenga

whole milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + milk powder

Almond milk is lower in calories, while the combination mimics milk's creaminess.

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is plant-based and can reduce saturated fat.

active dry yeast

🥗Healthier: instant yeast

💰Cheaper: fresh yeast

Instant yeast can be easier to use and store.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness with a unique flavor.

Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Warm Mega Milk until lukewarm, then dissolve Backaldrin Yeast in it.

Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix until combined.

Incorporate an egg and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Punch down the dough and knead in softened butter until fully incorporated.

Divide the dough into equal pieces and shape each into a ball.

Place the shaped dough in a greased loaf pan, allowing space between each piece.

Cover the pan with a cloth and let the dough rise again until puffy, about 30-60 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the bread until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
