How to Make Easy and Quick Bread Recipes

Importance of Bread in Daily Life

Bread is an indispensable staple food in modern daily life. Bread is mainly carbohydrates, which can provide us with energy. At the same time, the protein, vitamins and minerals it contains are important nutrients needed by the human body. With the fast pace of modern life, bread is used as a fast food product by people. Bread can also be DIY and combined with vegetables, meat, milk, cheese, etc. to make a sandwich bread recipe. In the following article, we will tell you how to make a quick bread recipe.

Ingredients for making bread quickly

1: Bread Flour: It has more protein than ordinary flour, and it will produce more gluten during the kneading process, making the dough very elastic, which directly affects the taste of the finished product

2: Milk or water, cheese: If you have the conditions and want your bread to be more fragrant, you can add milk or cheese. If you really don’t have these, water can also be used as a substitute.

3: Sugar Sugar is an essential ingredient in homemade cheese bread recipe, but you need to pay attention to the proportion of sugar. If the proportion of sugar is too high or too low, the flavor of the finished product will change.

4: Using Instant Yeast is a great tool for making quick bread recipes. The dough that usually needs to ferment for 60 minutes can be accelerated to 25 minutes after adding this instant yeast, which will definitely save you a lot of time.

5: Salt & Egg wash. The egg wash is to make the finished bread more fluffy.

The Process of Quickly Making Homemade Bread

There are two methods to form the dough. You can knead the flour, yeast, sugar, and warm milk together by hand, commonly referred to as an artisan bread recipe. Alternatively, you can place these essential ingredients directly into a Dough Mixer and mix at low speed for 2 minutes. Next, add salt and continue mixing at medium speed for 6–8 minutes after the dough has formed. The dough’s firmness indicates whether it has been properly mixed—if it bounces back when pressed with a finger, it is ready. Lightly coat the dough with oil, seal it, and let it rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. Once successfully fermented, place the dough into the oven, set the baking time, and effortlessly complete the simple bread-making process.

Methods to Increase Bread Production

Formula Optimization:

Flour Selection: High-protein, high-quality flour significantly impacts the shape and texture of the final bread product.

Improving Production Process：

Avoid using traditional manual kneading methods, as they are time-consuming and result in inconsistent dough quality.

Controlling Fermentation Conditions:

Use premium fast-acting yeast and carefully control fermentation temperature and time.

Homemade Bread FAQ: Solve Your Baking Dilemmas

1:What should I do if my bread isn’t fluffy enough?

Check if the yeast is expired. The recommended yeast amount is about 1%-2% of the flour's weight. Ensure the dough ferments at around 30°C, and strictly control the ratio of sugar and salt.

2:Why is my bread too hard?

Check if the kneading time is too short—gluten needs to be properly developed. Overly long or high-temperature fermentation and baking can also result in a hard texture.

3:Why is the inside of my bread too sticky?

If the baking temperature is too low, moisture inside the bread may not fully evaporate. After baking, let the bread cool properly for about 30 minutes.

4:Why does my bread taste sour?

Over-fermentation causes a sour taste. Be sure to control the fermentation time properly.
