Wingz Can Bake - How to Make Basic White Bread


If you got bored of Gardenia or High 5 bread u get from your regular groceries stores(just like I did), you can try this Rojaks Home Made White Bread Recipe! No artificial flavours, No Preservatives! Its alot healthier and The kids love it!!!

With the recent 30 sen increase infuel price and also in line with our PM's advise "Change your lifestyle" I m gonna teach u how to bake your own bread so u dont have to go out and buy your bread. Change your lifestyle mah so we all hafta start from the basic stuffs la. Bread is basic enuff right ? I mean who dont eat bread one ?

Ok lets get going!

This is the INGREDIENTS :

1.] 300g Warm milk (45◦C)
2.] 80g sugar
3.] 1 tablespoon Dry Yeast or Ibu Roti
4.] 1 teaspoon salt
5.] 30g Vegetable shortening
6.] 690g Bread flour (can be replace with All Purpose Flour)
7.] 4g Nona Bread Improver (can be ignored, preferred but not necessary)

Q&A

[Q] Why Use warm milk ?
[A] To dissolve the sugar and yeast and also to make sure the reaction between yeat and sugar can be more rapid. Milk can be replace by water also. Make sure the temperature of your milk or water is between 40◦C to 45◦C, too low the yeast wont dissolve too high you will kill the yeast. Store your excess yeast in the fridge where it is dry and cool.

[Q] I cant find Yeast in the Hypermarket!
[A] Neither can I, I found Ibu Roti 30g RM1.90 (Nona Brand) in Tesco and then I go to this Bakery supplies shop and bought 500gm of Yeast (PAKMAYA BRAND) for RM8.00 Later I found out that Yeast is actually Ibu Roti in Malay. MCH!!!! waste 9 my money!!!

[Q] What is Vegetable Shortening ? Can use margarine to replace anot ?

[A] Vegetable shortening is made of vegetable oil, you can use animal shortening or pure butter but dont use margarine. Bcoz margerine contains water, the composition of the dough will be weakened, and your loaf will fail.






Nona Vegetable Shortening 360g RM3+






[Q] Why must use bread flour? Can use
All-Purpose-Flour anot ?
[A] Bread flour makes a superior loaf. This flour is higher in protein content, and protein, or gluten, is what gives bread its unique texture. All purpose flour will also work just fine in most bread recipes. Don't use cake flour because there isn't enough protein in that type, and your bread will fall because the structure won't be able to withstand the pressure of the gasses the yeast creates. All Purpose Flour can easily be find in supermarket, the famous one would be MFM All Purpose Flour. When you use All purpose flour try and add 4g of Nona Bread improver into your dough, this is to give your bread a better texture, but you can do without it tho.

[Q] What is the different between teaspoon and tablespoon?
[A] Refer to the picture below :

THE METHOD

1.] Dissolve sugar in warm milk or water in a large bowl.

2.] Add yeast into the bowl and mix with a clean spoon until its abit creamy and foamy. (This is when your mixture will release an awful kinda smell, it really smella like some went bad like that! Dont worry I assures you its normal.)

3.] Add salt and Vegetable shortening into the bowl and mix well.

4.] Slowly sift in the Bread or All Purpose Flour.

5.] Knead the mixture to form dough.

6.] When dough is formed take it out of the bowl and place on a floured surface (floured surface means spread some wheat flour on a flat surface) and continue to knead until you get a dough with smooth surface.

7.] Place it in a well oiled loaf pan (well oiled loaf pan means you spread cooking oils on the wall of your louf pan so that the dough will not stick on to it later when you wanna remove it from the bowl to the. Loaf pan means the mould you use to make the bread in, normally its in rectangular shape. ) and flatten the surface, then cover the whole surface with a piece of clean damp cloth (damp cloth means you wet the cloth abit and press out excess water, do not use a wet cloth as this will melt your dough)

Loaf Pans

8.] Leave your covered dough in a warm place for about 1 hour, it should have risen to double its original height by then. If not then YOUR YEAST JIALAT LEDI!!! YOU FARKING KILLED YOUR YEAST!!! you can now throw away your dough ledi LOL!!!

9.] After 1 hour (when you dough are twice as high as the original height) push/punch the dough a few times to reduce the height then take it out from the loaf pan and knead for a few more minutes.

10.] Put it back into the loaf pan and leave it for another 30 minutes.

11.] The loaf should have risen more by now, to almost double its height in stop [10.] above. Then if you want, brush some beaten egg on top of the dough for a sinny deep brown finish (I dint do this bcoz i m outta eggs ledi lol)

12.] Preheat your oven at 170◦C for 10 minutes before you bake your dough.

13.] Bake your dough at 175◦C for 30 minutes.

14.] When it done, leave the bread on wire rack to cool before cutting.


The results .... YUMMY HOME MADE BREAD!!!

  3. Ya lah, I agree with Wingz that we must change our lifestyles. For example, nowadays instead of buying pork or beef from the market, i have resorted to trapping stray dogs. This not only save me a lot of money but the town municipal is also praising my efforts for getting rid of strays.
    As a service to this community, i like to share this recipe with all civic-minded, cost and health conscious individuals out there;

    1 1/2 cups vinegar
    60 peppercorns -- crushed
    6 tablespoons salt
    12 cloves garlic -- crushed
    1/2 cup cooking oil
    6 cups onion -- sliced
    3 cups tomato sauce
    10 cups boiling water
    6 cups red pepper -- cut into strips
    6 pieces bay leaf
    1 teaspoon tabasco sauce
    1 1/2 cups liver spread -- ** see note
    1 whole fresh pineapple -- cut 1/2 inch thick

    1. First,slaughter a medium sized dog.
    2. Carefully remove the skin while still warm and set aside for later (may be
    used in other recipes)
    3. Cut meat into 1" cubes. Marinade meat in mixture of vinegar,
    peppercorn, salt and garlic for 2 hours.
    4. Fry meat in oil using a large wok over an open fire, then add onions and
    chopped pineapple and suate until tender.
    5. Pour in tomato sauce and boiling water, add green pepper, bay leaf and
    tobasco.
    6. Cover and simmer over warm coals until meat is tender. Blend in liver spread
    and cook for additional 5-7 minutes.

    * you can substitute cat for dog. The taste is similar, but not as pungent.
