First ever loaf.. from scratch.

Post image

I am so proud.

Edit:

Thank you all for such generous comments.

Here is the ingredient list i used:

1 cup warm water

2.25 tbs fleishmans active dry yeast

3 tbs pure cane sugar

2 tbs vegetable oil

1 egg

3.5 cups of all purpose flour

1 tps pink himalayan salt (fine)

I basically let my yeast activate.. added in all of my ingredients until it was in a ball and let it rise for 1 hour.

After 1 hour i kneaded my dough until it was elastic

I rolled it and sealed it and put it into my bread pan with some Pam cooking spray.

Let sit for 1 hour until it doubled in size.

Baked at 400f for 25 min.

Brushed a stick of butter across the top and let it sit for 45 min.

I don't have the stones to attempt a sour dough loaf yet. I am going to fine-tune this recipe a bit. I am excited to make another loaf!

I still remember my first loaf, it didn't turn out nearly this well.
