I learned how to make this bread — it rises so much and is incredibly fluffy!

Description:
This soft, airy, and fluffy bread is perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or just enjoying with butter and jam. I tried it for the first time and sent it to the person who recommended it — they loved it!

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 2 tbsp butter (softened)
  • 1 egg (optional, for brushing)

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and butter. Knead into a soft dough for 8–10 minutes.
  3. Cover the dough and let it rise for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf or rolls, and place in a greased baking pan.
  5. Cover and let it rise again for 30–45 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the top with a beaten egg for a shiny crust (optional).
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Let it cool slightly before slicing.

Tips:

  • Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
  • Kneading well ensures a soft, fluffy texture.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla or a pinch of powdered milk.
  • Don’t skip the second rise — it makes the bread extra airy.
