You don't have to be a professional baker to make this soft and fluffy bread. Today, I will show you how to make it easy and you'll be glad you're making your own bread and not gonna buy anymore. Here's what you'll need: 1 cup warm milk (236 ml), 1 tbsp sugar (10g), 2 tsp active dry yeast, 3 cup all purpose flour (375g) + 1/3-1/2 cup for kneading, ¼ cup sugar (50g), 1 tsp salt (5g), 1 large egg, 1/3 cup melted butter (75g), 2 tbsp oil for your hand while kneading. Eggwash 1 egg and 1 tbsp milk. OVEN - Baking time may vary depending on your oven's specification. I'm using a conventional oven which heat rises from the bottom. YEAST - Active dry yeast and instant yeast both help leaven bread and provide an airy, light texture, but they do so in slightly different ways and there's one major difference in how you use them: Active dry yeast needs to be dissolved in water before using, while instant yeast can be mixed right into dry ingredients.
