welcome Deronda here with foods 101 today i'm going to show you how to make loaf bread perfectly
delicious the ingredients you're going to need is four and a half to five cups of unbleached flour
a bleach flour is a flour they haven't bleached to make it perfectly white one and three four
cups of whole milk one package of your active dry yeast two tablespoons of granulated sugar
two teaspoons of salt two tablespoons of all vegetable shortening and one half cup of water
we want our water at 105 to 115 degrees fahrenheit i've got a reading of 114 so that's perfect and
we're going to dissolve our yeast in it pour it into the warm water give it a little stirring
sit this off to the side until ready to use melt your all vegetable shortening in the microwave 15
seconds at a time this is after 30 seconds using a stand mixer i'm going to use the dough hook
i'm adding my milk and i took the chill off the milk using the microwave until i got 110 degree
fahrenheit reading add your salt and the sugar along with the yeast and oh that smells so good
i like to give it a little swirl add your melted shortening swish it around just a little bit spoon
in two cups of flour so we can get the flour well blended in with the other ingredients
start on low so you won't end up getting a flower shower we want to scrape down the sides of our
bowl add an additional one cup of flour down low again we're gonna mix it in now that it's looking
like this and i've been scraping down the sides of the bowl we're gonna add the remaining flour start
on well until it's well incorporated increase the speed a little bit now i'm going to scrape
down the sides of the bowl again you don't want your flour sticking to the side of your
bowl eventually your dough is going to be pulling loose from the sides of the bowl continue kneading
for the next 10 minutes after five minutes you can see how that dough is sticking to the side
of our bowl when that happens you're going to add a couple of spoonfuls of your unbleached flour and
again we're going to start incorporating this and just be sure that you scrape down the sides
of your bowl after 10 minutes your dough should be pulling loose from the sides of the bowl transport
this over into a larger bowl add your dough and i'm just using my hands it makes it a whole lot
easier cover with a tea towel or you can use paper towels in a nice warm dress free area for one hour
or until it doubles in size while the dough is rising i'm lightly greasing two four by eight inch
loaf pans it's just a little vegetable oil on a paper towel i'm using a regular loaf pan and
i'm going to be using a porcelain loaf pan i'm curious to see how each turn out lightly flower
your surface look at our dough i've had it rising for about an hour and as you can see put a little
flour on it because i don't want my fingers to stick to it but we just want to punch it
down so we can get all the air out and then we're going to transport it over here onto our floured
surface oh and that feels so much fun reminds you of working in play-doh you just want to make sure
that it's not sticking to your hands bring it into the center punch it down and then with a knife
we're going to divide this evenly in half roll it into two round balls sit it here do the same with
this one see i'm pulling it in just a little bit and tucking it in there on the bottom and then
we're going to let these sit here for 10 minutes and let them rest after 10 minutes we're going to
take each ball we're going to flatten it out so we can make sure to get rid of any air bubbles
and we're going to roll it into a 14 by 8 inch rectangle if it sticks on the bottom
which mine is just add a little bit of flour you don't want to overdo it on the flour
and so we'll get this rectangle rolled out keep working with it actually you can really just
pat it out just do the best you can it's not always so perfect but that's okay
starting with the smaller end we're gonna tightly start rolling it up
and then we're going to seal the end by pinching it in with the rest of the dough seal the edges
turn it over and with that prepared loaf pan pop it in here and sit this off to the side for the
next 45 to 60 minutes so it can rise this is my last one you just roll it tuck the ends under
put it here in its baking loaf and then again we're just gonna let it sit for 45 minutes to an
hour it's been an hour and lucky there we've got our dough perfectly rise just the way we need it
and these are off to a 375 degree preheated oven on the middle rack for the first 30 minutes
use your timer and no peeking after 30 minutes we're going to cover each loaf with a piece of
tin foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes use your timer and no peeking bread loaf has
baked and this foil on the top just keeps the top of the bread from getting overly browned
and here comes the second loaf look how fantastic those are the important thing is to get them out
of their pans quickly you don't want them sweating or getting soggy around the edge and they should
just pop right out and look how beautiful and golden that is boy do i wish you could be here and
smell this freshly baked bread aroma do the same with this it's a little warm so be careful super
careful look how beautiful and golden that is cool down for about 30 minutes and i'll cut into
it and show you what it looks like on the inside and it is so warm let's see what this bread loaf
looks like on the inside it's important to always use a serrated knife you see those little teeth
there on the end that'll give you a lovely cut mmm and if you could smell this freshly baked bread
wow looky there how lovely and soft that is just like the best homemade bread ever and it's still
super duper warm just like sandwich bread but you've made it homemade all right let's
give it a try um wow look how soft and tender and golden the top of that is so so fresh so pliable
absolutely the best homemade bread with a little butter i couldn't resist
you will not be disappointed with this white loaf bread and it really doesn't need any butter
looky there on the inside and on the sides and the bottom whoo beautiful golden in color i'm deronda
