Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg (optional, for added richness)
Instructions:
- Start by activating the yeast. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active and ready to use.
- In your blender, add the flour, salt, and oil (or melted butter). If you’re using an egg for a richer texture, add it now. Blend these dry ingredients on a low setting just to combine.
- Once the yeast mixture is frothy, pour it into the blender with the dry ingredients. Blend on medium speed for about 1 minute until the dough starts to come together. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice to ensure even mixing.
- The dough should form a soft, slightly sticky ball in the blender. If it’s too dry, add a tablespoon of warm water at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
- Turn off the blender and transfer the dough to a greased bowl. Cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air bubbles. Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, shaping it to fit the pan. Cover it again and let it rise for another 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until it has risen to the top of the pan.
- Once the dough has risen, place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The bread should have a golden brown crust and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the bread once it has cooled to your desired thickness, and enjoy! This bread is perfect for sandwiches, toasting, or simply enjoying fresh with a spread of butter.
Making bread in a blender eliminates the need for time-consuming kneading while still delivering that perfect fluffy texture we all crave. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is sure to become a household favorite.
