Basic White Bread

I "developed" this recipe by first learning how to bake using a food processor and then graduating to a stand mixer. I had no idea what the dough was supposed to look like, feel like, how long to knead, or anything. Through random YouTube videos and many failed attempts I finally made something I am proud of. Here it is!

Ingredient

Food ration :

2 Loaves

Cooking time :

20-25 Minutes (2 hours of proofing)

1000 g

Bread Flour

500-600 g

Warm Water 115°

20 g

active dry yeast

60 g

Sugar

25 g

Kosher Salt (Not Table Salt)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Begin by combining the 100°-115° water with 20g of instant dry yeast and 60g of sugar. Whisk together for a few seconds until most of the yeast has dissolved. Let sit for 10 minutes or until frothy.

* Step 2

In your stand mixer bowl add 1000g of bread flour and 25g of Kosher Salt. Whisk to combine.

* Step 3

Add the yeast, sugar, and water mixture to the stand mixer. And mix on low for 1-2 minutes.

* Step 4

Knead on low until the dough is smooth and pulling away from the bowl. The bowl should be clean as well. This can take 5-8 minutes.

* Step 5

Let dough sit in the stand mixer for 5 minutes to rest.

* Step 6

Optional: I proof my bread this way. ------- Turn your oven on by preheating to 350°. (DO NOT LET IT PREHEAT ALL THE WAY) Turn off the oven ~2 minutes after turning on the preheat function. I proof my dough in the residual heat.

* Step 7

Take the dough out and place on a clean working surface. Form the dough into a ball by folding it over on itself over and over to create a smooth surface on top. (This takes some practice)
