Mom’s Famous Homemade Yeast Bread Recipe
This yeast bread recipe is not only full of memories, but it also has a crispy crust with a soft, pillowy inside.
Ingredients
Scale
4 cups warm water (110-120*F)
2 grams sugar
20 grams dry yeast
1200 grams all purpose flour
10 grams salt
1/3 cup oil
Instructions
- Start by mixing the warm water (110-120°F), sugar, and yeast. Set aside and allow the yeast to bloom, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the flour, leaving 1/2 cup aside and 1/4 cup of the oil. Start kneading the dough by hand. It will be sticky in the beginning. After a few minutes, the gluten will start forming, and the dough will become a bit firmer.
- Just a side note, it will be sticky after done kneading, but will pull away from the bowl in one piece. That's when you know you are done kneading, 5-7 minutes or so.
- Add the rest of the oil on top of the dough, and cover the outside to keep it from sticking to the bowl.
- Allow the dough to rise 45-60 minutes, depending on the temperature of your home. It should double in size.
- Punch down the dough. Yup, the bread dough will need a second rise. This round shouldn't take as long, but it must double in size again.
- Divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape them into round balls. Place onto a half sheet pan with parchment paper. You can squeeze all 12 pieces on one pan or use two half sheets to space them out.
- Cover the bread with a kitchen towel and allow to rise for 30 minutes or so.
- If you want to create a design on each bun, sift some flour on top and use a scoring tool to make your favorite design, just like you would on a sourdough loaf.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the bread until golden brown, approximately 30-40 minutes.
