How to make Bread - Video Recipe

Hey buddy , welcome again back to Sign Wire .

Um Today we're gonna be doing a couple of things .

First .

We're gonna start off making our own bread .

It's just a basic white bread .

Of course , I'm gonna add my own little touches .

You know how garlic goes and everything by the time I get finished with it , but it's just a basic dough .

You can make your rolls , you can make your long roll , you can make your tall rolls , you can make actual bread with it .

It really depends on how you roll it out in the end and what you actually cook it in that's gonna shape it .

But uh this is just a really basic bread , nice buttery , little fattening , but uh very good .

Let's get to it .

All right .

So here's the ingredients we're gonna be using today uh for the white bread flour .

Um First thing you want is bread flour .

Uh This is very important here .

Um The regular flour , you can still make bread with it , but it , it's uh texture is a little thicker .

If you want some good bread , you always use the bread flour .

Um We're also gonna be using garlic , like I said , my little additive , um , egg , one egg , slightly beaten , um , six tablespoons of butter , three quarters a cup of warm milk .

Uh , as far as the sugar , we're gonna use one quarter cup of sugar .

It's a little bit more sugar than , than , uh , you would do typically .

Uh , we're also gonna use one tablespoon .

Oh , sorry , sorry .

One teaspoon salt and 1.5 teaspoons of dry yeast .

Um , Other than that , that's about it .

We're just gonna toss all that stuff in the bread machine and , and get it all started .

All right .

First , we're gonna add our three quarters cup milk , one slightly beaten egg .

You can see why I do this on the sink gets a little messy , especially when you start having the flour right next .

We're gonna add in our butter at this point .

Probably should remind you that the temperature plays a key role in all of your ingredients .

So it's good to have everything .

At least at room temperature .

Your milk should be slightly warm in the microwave a little bit .

The simple reason for it is , is the colder the ingredients , the , the less the yeast can do .

So uh the , the less they do then the thicker your bread becomes and it doesn't become real fluffy and , and all of that stuff .

So make sure all of your stuff is room temperature .

I actually just cut the butter here into little slabs that's like moused butter , quarter cup , sorry , one square cup , sugar , one teaspoon salt .

Right now , we're gonna add the three cups , white bread flour .

And we wanna try to get this as , as , as good as possible as level as possible .

So I always take a knife and make it as level as possible .

You wanna try to get it just perfect as once too , right ?

This is three when you get to this point , pretty much all you have left .

Here's your yeast .

Uh One of the main things is you never want to let your active yeast ever touch the sugar or ever touch the salt because it'll , it'll kill it immediately .

So the best way to do it is just take a little finger hole right there .

They're right down the middle like a little volcano .

I'm not sure if you can see that .

I just make a little volcano in there .

Uh You also , if you use the same teaspoons , make sure you wash the salt out of the one that you use to make sure you wash the sugar and salt out of it .

Even once again , you don't wanna go sticking that into your , you're uh bucket .

Otherwise it all goes downhill .

I'm gonna take it , tap it off , try to get it exactly at one tablespoon and pour it right in the middle of the volcano .

And in this case , we're using 1.5 teaspoons .

All right .

That's it .

Now , we're gonna let this machine , uh , make it and we're gonna start rolling it .

Now , we're gonna turn your bread machine to a dough and pasta .

And that's , it should go on for about an hour and 30 minutes .

You got people texting me , should go on for about an hour and 30 minutes .

Let it do its work .

When it's all done , it'll actually have up and we will begin to roll it or freeze it at that point .

Give you an idea of what this looks like , looks like it's all done .

All right , what we're gonna do now is we're going to , uh , toss a little flour down on our , uh , chopping block and say , get this thing rolled in a bread knife just yet .

I wonder where somewhere down the middle and try to cut it without popping it .

There you go .

So , now we've got two balls .

All right .

Just put that in the zip lock and I'll stick it in the fridge and it'll hold good for at least a day if not too back on this guy here .

No .

Uh , since I want to roll on two sort of long pieces , almost like a long sandwich sandwich bread .

So we're just gonna cut this link voice right in half .

Yeah , I've actually removed them from my wood block and put them on top of a tray here .

I'm gonna get my oil , sorry , my oil , my Blair and my , uh , garlic salt and a little bit of seasoning .

I'm just gonna brush the whole top of it .

Good to go .

Now we're gonna preheat the oven to 3 50 .

All right .

Final stage , we're gonna slide that in here and lay some buttery and let them cook and another little one swa butter and garlic butter here real quick .

They're coming along good .

All right .

Good to go .

All right .

They look all finished .

Not too bad .

OK .

Goes right off .

You guys know how much I like garlic .

So I'm just gonna hit these bad boys one last time here and while we're waiting for these to cool down , I'm actually gonna get together a little Italian dipping sauce to put these in along with some hummus .

I'm just gonna go ahead and start digging .
