I never thought of baking bread at home until a few months back. I always have been a lazy baker when it comes to things like bread. Though I use my oven(s) quite often to make regular baked chicken or fish and casseroles but not bread. It happened in the month of April during the lockdown. One fine morning I opened the fridge and took out the container of yeast. It had around 2 Tbsp. Yeast and that was all! I then opened my store and was not able to locate any of the bread tins. I have 4 by the way. By then I already decided on Homemade White Bread with the little yeast I had at home. I picked my heavy-duty round cake tin and started gathering the other ingredients.

Easy homemade white bread during the lockdown!

Yes, the recipe that I have used is an easy one. Though I never baked bread before however, I knew what I needed to know to make homemade white bread. A few easily available ingredients, 2 Tbsp. of Yeast, and two cake tins were all I picked to make my first bread.

First time baking Bread at home? How did it go?

It went well. The Whitebreads I baked were perfect. The abode was full of the smell of freshly baked bread. After that, I baked bread almost every week. By then I found my bread tins, and I purchased yeast again I made different types of bread with and without yeast and even without an oven. Will share that recipe as well. For now, I must share the recipe for homemade white bread and I must share why it went well. Why the attempt of baking the bread was successful.

Before you start baking the bread using yeast!

You must check the yeast. The quality of the yeast will determine whether the bread will rise or not. Believe me, directly mixing the yeast with flour is not an option. I know it is quite common to do that. There are hundreds of recipes where the yeast is added directly. I, however, am not a person who believes in chances. Cooking and baking are nothing but science. I mixed the yeast with water and waited for it to rise. The yeast rose to my satisfaction and then I started the rest of the process.

How do we like our Bread?

We like the bread just the way I have clicked. the entire family loves sausages, butter, homemade jam, sunny side (almost) up, and also bacon (not in the pictures). Not that we eat all these every day. Breakfast is Mehebub's responsibility and at times, he serves only bread and fruits with little butter. My Bengali soul loves bread with Kosha Mangsho or Ghugni and also with Aloor Dum. Have I mentioned Dim Pauruti?
