White bread is a quintessential part of pantries across the world. It is soft in the middle and has a brown crust. But instead of getting it from the store, here is how you can bake it at home and rest assured of its quality.

Ingredients

1 cup lukewarm water 3 cups maida 1 tbsp sugar 1 tsp instant yeast 1 tsp salt 2 tbsp milk 1 tbsp oil

Step 1

Add yeast to lukewarm water and sugar solution. It will activate it. Let it stay for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Add it to the flour and knead the dough. Pour some oil while kneading and keep it aside for 45 minutes at least.

Step 3

Grease a pan with oil and shape the dough. Add it to the pan and cover it for another 20 minutes.

Step 4

Brush the top layer with oil and carve a design with a sharp blade.

Step 5

Bake the bread in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes at 190°C.

Step 6

Once it rises and is cooked to perfection, take it out, let it cool off, slice it, and enjoy.
