Simple Breakfast Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (around 110°F / 43°C)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Directions:
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and honey (if using). Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Once the yeast mixture is foamy, add the egg mixture to the yeast bowl.
- Make the Dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Once it’s mostly combined, knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes on a floured surface until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Let it Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
- Shape and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough in a greased loaf pan. Allow it to rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Bake: Bake the bread for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top and it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy with butter, jam, or your favorite breakfast toppings!
This bread is soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for breakfast. You can customize it by adding raisins, cinnamon, or nuts for variety. Enjoy!
