White Toast Recipe

Bread Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the yeast mixture

   In a small bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. 2

   Mix dry ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.

3. 3

   Combine ingredients

   Once the yeast is frothy, pour it into the flour mixture along with melted butter. Mix until a dough begins to form.

4. 4

   Knead the dough

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5. 5

   First rise

   Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

6. 6

   Shape the loaf

   Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased loaf pan.

7. 7

   Second rise

   Cover the loaf with the cloth again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes until it has risen above the edge of the pan.

8. 8

   Preheat the oven

   While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

9. 9

   Bake the bread

   Once the dough has risen, bake it in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

10. 10

    Cool and slice

    Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
