Okay I just turned 55 and Ive never baked a loaf of bread ever in my life so watched your vid like 5 times and followed everything step by step and I am now eating the most perfect loaf of bread I've ever eaten. Thank you so much for making this video.
*sad german noises*... I beg you to at least once try german/european dark bread from a normal local bakery... Things like carrot- or potato bread are a special kind of "moist" and perfect bread... And then go full german and eat it with Mett :)
Had to come back & say thank you🙏🏾. I've been baking bread for my family of 9 for over a year now thanks to your video. I also have a little bread business all from baking my neighbor a loaf & word spreading like wild fire. Again, thank you.
You seem to care about your audience actually learning and feeling comfortable more than showmanship of your definite skill. This is a gift. Thanks for sharing!
I'm 17 and have been trying to make bread on and off since last year. Tired 3 times, all pretty epic failures for different reasons. School was canceled today so I decided to try again. I just took my loaf out of the pan and it is so beautiful!!! And from the small bits that fell off that I tasted it tastes amazing too!!
@@FeastandFarmCooks Great Video Tutorial, im 59 and the next to accomplish this feat with the help of your knowledge is going to be my power to successfully make a not so simple loaf of bread. I've been tryin and am not getting the desired results, yet. i think i've got it now. Thank you. God blesses with Love.
@@reinellenandrews9201 of flour? I have 50 pounds on hand most of the time that I order from a restaurant supply store but you must have been making 15 or 20 loaves at a time!
Today I made 2 loaves of your bread and never made bread from scratch before. They both are cooling and look so yummy. I just want to thank you so much 3 years ago you posted this, however I just found it. 3 years ago I couldn't even walk, let alone cook a meal. With my recovery, I am making breads, noodles, etc as way of therapy. Thank you again and bless you. ❤
I couldn't walk five years ago myself. I sure didn't get where i am today eating bread though. If you have any health issues like I did, I'd get this out of my diet ASAP. I'm glad you are well!
@@FeastandFarmCooksThank you for sharing this! Both of you are very inspirational!! I'm trying to make a gluten-free loaf and I was wondering if you have any tips or tricks I should know. My dough is rising right now, but I'm worried it'll be very dense (tried making gf loaves in bread maker 15 years ago and they were all bricks)... By the way I love your channel ❤
Thank you 100x over! I am 51 years old and this is my very first loaf of bread that I have ever attempted! It turned out absolutely beautiful! I literally cried tears and couldn't speak trying to make a video of it to show my Mom! I have watched numerous videos and looked up dozens of recipes but I never could get up the nerve to ever try it. I'm so glad that I came across your video!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I'm a 65 yo retired male and this was the first thing that I've ever baked. I've always enjoyed homemade bread, now I'm not at the mercy of someone else making it for me. Got to admit, I surprised myself with how it turned out. Guaranteed, if I can do it, following your tutelage, any one can. Thank you again.
Thank you for the real time steps! The part about letting the dough rest 5 mins to let gluten strands relax if dough is fighting was a really helpful tip I never heard before. I love your videos.
I agree! I made a loaf yesterday following this video and if I had not known about resting the gluten I would’ve just wrestled it into a loaf shape and it wouldn’t have been great. I also think that’s part of why my previous attempts failed so I was very grateful for this tip.
At age 73, I’m new to bread making but having a lot of fun with it. After two loaves of really basic no-knead, I gave this method/recipe a shot, substituting whole wheat flour and the dutch oven baking method. The result was quite satisfactory. Kneading dough is fun work! Thanks to the young lady for the information and inspiration . . . 😄
Love baking this bread!!Baked one for the first time a year ago. Got a couple of busted side seams in the trial and error process, but kept at it. Bread baking is a valuable skill to develop. You never know when there won’t be any bread in the store to buy. You may find yourself in a room full of hungry people where you’re the only one who knows how to do it.
I’m a new 21 year old mom having my first thanksgiving with my husband and baby in our apartment and I really wanted to make some homemade bread, but forgot my grandmas recipe. Thank you so much for this, I’m so excited to make it for our first Thanksgiving on our own!!
It is right before Christmas and your story was so beautiful to read. I'm so happy you are learning to cook and care for your family. May you all be blessed for a long beautiful marriage and family!

I have tried to make bread several times but never turned out right. I followed you step by step and made a beautiful loaf of bread just like yours and it was delicious. I’m 70 years old and I can now make bread. Thank you for the video 😊
I baked a loaf today using your directions. So good. I tried a different recipe a few weeks ago but yours reminded me of my mother’s bread. This is a keeper.
A tip w/regard to yeast expiry. I have used yeast that was several years past expiry but I proofed it first with a bit of flour, sugar and warm water for about 30 min to see if it made bubbles. If it is alive the worst that can happen is it may be a bit slow rising. A better way to use old yeast might be prefermentation overnight before baking.
I love how the recipe works for sliced bread, hamburger buns, hotdog buns, and dinner rolls. Same recipe, different shapes. I made hotdog buns for the first time and they came out wonderful (about 50 grams made the perfect size)
I have to order White Lily flour! I havent found it around here yet! Since the inflation and lack of truckers a lot of things are missing from our shelves! I have a neighbor is a single guy so he does'nt get a lot of home cooked meals! When ever I bake bread I make an extra one for him! Ive never seen a more grateful man! 😄
@@pissedoff911, When I make bread sticks I roll them flat and roll them back up, depends how big you want them. Mine are about the size of Olive gardens! Remember they'll double in size!
I made this a week ago, the loaf turned out so beautiful I almost cried. I had so many failures with other types of bread recipes that I cane into this one very sceptical but it turned out perfect. I sent this video to like a dozen of people who like cooking, perfect recipe. I'm returning to the video now to make 2 more loafs today Thank you!
@@FeastandFarmCooks made my loafs with success, this recipe is such a lifesaver. I made double the dough, divided, one was a normal loaf and the other in a long shorten pan with nuts and seeds, turned out amazing and it lasts! Doesn't dry out, it sits on the counter pretty for the last 5 days while we are slowly going through it. Thanks again, you are great! English isn't my first language so your accent is such a pleasure to listen to, have a wonderful day!
I am thrilled. I cannot stop looking at the pictures I took of this mater piece after making my FIRST successful loaf of bread. So amazing and delicious. Tight crumb, airy and almost smells like pretzels on the crust. Thanks for sharing, this is a solid recipe/process.
I'm excited! Mine is rising now. I can hardly wait...Yay! Thank You for sharing not only your recipe, but the video! That was so key to be able to do it with you. Your time is greatly appreciated. I'm sure most of us have no idea how much work goes into recording, editing, setting up and hours of other work you do just to be able to share your knowledge. God Bless You!!!
I found your recipe yesterday. I can't tell you how many recipes I've sifted through trying to find one that actually worked. I made yours today. PERFECTION! The simplest, most uncomplicated recipe (I'm a novice), yet it turned out the most beautiful, light and fluffy loaf of bread! Airy yet sturdy crumb, it will stand up to any Dagwood Sandwich. And the flavor is divine. I topped mine with Poppy and Sesame seeds. This is my go-to recipe from now on. Folks, you have to bake this bread! Thank you! Marilyn in Arizona
I made this recipe and loved it , I have now made about 30 loafs to give out in the past 2 weeks , everyone loves it and I have sent 7 of my friends this recipe after seeing my bread loafs, they love it also. Thanks so much for sharing
This has been the best instructional bread tutorial I’ve ever watched. Like many, even as a senior citizen, this past year has given me time and patience to improve my bread baking endeavors. Thank you so much! I’m using your basic recipe to make rosemary olive bread today. YUMMY!
This was very excellent video. I have been trying different recipes and you have explained a lot of things here that make sense. I realize I need to knead more, wait a bit longer on the rising, let the dough rest before shaping, forget the towel or wrap on the pan, and use the butter when want the soft crust after baking. Thanks for this helpful information.
I’m so happy I came across your videos while searching for a simple recipe for homemade bread. I love that you are so in-depth in explaining what you’re doing and taking the time to show all the steps. I ended up having a marathon session. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to doing this for us.Regards Evelyn
Weighing flour is optimal and lots of us in the US does, in case anyone across the pond watches and thinks 😳 lol. I am happy to see more people baking more things from scratch! My hope is more shoppers become ingredient households 👍🏼
So far it’s looking good ❤ thank you so much for posting this my husband will be thrilled when he gets home in the morning with the smell of freshly baked bread 🥖 love from Canada
I am 61 years old. I have been making bread since I was about five with my grandma and this recipe is almost exactly identical as the one I grew up making very good video. Congratulations to you. Very clear. Easy to understand. Amazing job. I hope you make more videos.
I have watched this video like 10 times in the last two days. I am 37 and have never baked a loaf of bread. This was the best video I could have asked for! The way you explain how to let the dough rest and other snippets was SO useful. I made a loaf yesterday that was blah. And tried again today and omg! Soooo yummy. Thank you for this video!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE! It was my first time baking bread, and it turned out DELICIOUS! I will be using this recipe over and over! Highly recommend!!!!
Wow! Made two loaves today, I substituted honey for cane sugar, and it was perfect. I spent two weeks trying to make bread without success, I stumbled on your recipe and just liked how you explained everything in detail and showed the kneading step.. I followed the recipe to the T ! I now have a recipe I can trust and will be making this weekly ❤ Thank you.
I made this recipe today with my 4 year old daughter and it turned out great! Thanks Rachel, that was a great tutorial. I cannot wait to try out all your other recipes!
Hi Rachel, I’ve been searching youtube for weeks on a comprehensive video on how to make a simple loaf of bread. Today was my fifth attempt. By far your video, recipe, instructions (how to knead), tips (eggs at room temperature) and in particular, “ What yeast should look like,“ when it cures, was perfect! Although your video may be obvious to most accomplished bakers, as a novice it was beyond helpful. It gave me the confidence and courage to try, yet again to achieve a simple life long quest. Finally, at 65 years old, I made my first real loaf of bread from scratch! I am so proud of myself! Such a silly thing yet so much satisfaction! Thank you!
I just want to say I thank you so much. I've been struggling making bread for years on my own and it did not come out right I followed your simple instructions and my bread came out fantastic. It exactly like yours on the outside but the texture on the inside and outside was good and I just want to thank you for sharing your recipe with me.
You are such a great teacher! Your tutorial is so informative and easy to follow. I’m going to try your recipe today. YOUR loaf 🍞 looked about perfect! 🥰
I have been having some trouble with pizza dough after a number of pizzas and I just tried bread and had trouble with it too. I think your video is just what I needed to see all this time. Thank you!
I don't usually leave comments, but I'm so impressed with your video. You explain bread making so that anyone can understand and have fun making it themselves. I can't wait to give your recipe a try!!
I started making my own bread a bit over a month now. I bake a loaf about once every 5 days and this is my go to bread recipe. I love it so much. It's simple AND it tastes great. I truly recommend it for people starting to bake bread. It's truly a forgiving recipe. I want to add that if you're doing this recipe for the first time you should definitely cover it up with some foil about 15 minutes in because it browns quickly. The first time I baked this bread I burnt the top because I wasnt attentive, but I just removed the crust and it still tasted great.
I just baked the bread according to your recipe. Thank you so, so much. It came out perfect even though my bread tin is a bit bigger b(for 900gm loaf). I wish I could upload a photo here to show you. Can't thank you enough. 👍
Trying this for the first time today. My loaf pan is a bit smaller so hopefully that doesn’t make too much of a difference. It’s in the oven know so I will know soon 🤞🏻
I've tried dozens of different bread recipes i've never been completely satisfied with the flavor. This recipe is no joke i finally found the perfect bread recipe. thank you for sharing. I've been gifting everyone bread all week lol
Thank you so much for posting! I am making this for the 2nd time as the first time it came out perfectly! Your method makes the bread delicious and the steps are very easy to follow. I used regular sugar. You are correct, beginner friendly, thank you.
It is now 2021. Way back when, I bought a Costco bag of yeast, kept it sealed in the fridge and just completed using it up 2 or 3 years ago. The expiration date was either 2007 or 2009 and that yeast worked right up til the end. :)
This was such a great tutorial :) I made it last week with all purpose flour and it turned out so good! We ate the whole loaf in less than 48 hrs. Now I’ve got myself some bread flour and I’m gonna do it again. Thank you!
i gave up on ultra processed foods 4 weeks ago and dropped 25lbs almost immediately, but i miss bread so much. this video is perfect for someone still learning how to bake, what to watch out for, straight to the point + useful tips/advice, and you make it feel like we're doing it with you. thank you for this. also, you were way too calm when that wasp landed on your finger... impressive!
Just made my first loaf of bread with your recipe and instructions. I was amazed that it turned out so well, and tasted so good. Thanks so much for giving me the confidence to go ahead and make my own bread.
Thanks for the tips and love your honest comments about baking the bread. I felt like I was sitting watching a good friend baking the bread. I HAVE been baking bread for about 3 years. Just wanted your advice about putting some oil on the bread before the second rise. My bread comes out soft and browns beautifully.
I made this earlier today it's been out of the oven for an hour... Couldn't wait to try it...it was really good! Thank you so much for the recipe and great video 😊
Hello! I am 54 and I've never made homemade bread. Thank you for this super easy video!! Now I’m trying your cinnamon rolls! Thank you! You’re the best!! ❤🎉
This is the best bread recipe I’ve made, and I bake ALOT of bread. My kids love it and bring a thick slice to school every day, her friends always want a slice as well. Thank you!
👍🏻🙂 One of the best dough making videos I’ve watched… And I’ve watched many. You explained every step with unmistakable southern charm. Thanks again. I learned a lot. 👍🏻🥖
Thank you so much just finished making my first 🍞 . I can believe how easy it was. I've always been so hesitant to work with yeast. Thanks to you, you have taken that away.
I followed another recipe on YT today that was pretty easy and came out ok. After watching this video I have learned so much more that the other video did not cover. You did a great job explaining everything thoroughly. I’ll be trying this one tomorrow!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve struggled with making bread for awhile, and so glad I found your video! I got a lot of excellent tips that I hadn’t heard/read before, and I think those really helped. My first loaf is cooling as I type - it looks beautiful, and smells divine. I’m sure it’ll taste like a little slice of yeasty heaven :-)
Just a quick tip for my fellow newbies ; If you use White Lilly flour, you have to add 2 tbls for each cup of the recipe. For this recipe I used 3 cups + 6 tbls of all purpose flour. This is a great recipe, by the way. Thumbs up !!
White Lilly is second worst only to Pillsbury flour in my baking experience. It's just not finely milled enough to suit me but I'm glad you got it to work on your loaf!
Using White Lilly is the only time I’ve messed up bread. It took three times to realize that the flour acts so differently. I was doing sourdoughs, this would have been a better recipe to use it with(hydration).
Wow. This was the best demo and live tutorial I have ever seen. I felt like I was there with you working together! Perfect. Enjoyed very much. I differently will try this. 🍞
Your video was so helpful! I have always wanted to make my own bread but been intimidated by the process... this was so simple and I can't wait to start making my own! I have 2 teenage boys in our house and we go through alot of bread! This is going to be a money saver and a game changer for us! I love also how you commented on the longevity of it and how to freeze it :) that is something we will have to do around here
Thank you so much for this recipe. I have been looking for a simple, straight forward recipe for a loaf of bread. I like how you showed in real time , exactly how to knead bread dough, and for how long. I'm literally waiting for my dough to finish it's second rising. Thx again.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CONVECTION OVEN PUT YOUR DOUGH IN YOUR OVEN AND COVER IT WITH A TEA TOWEL AND TURN ON THE OVEN LIGHT THIS WORKS VERY WELL ESPECIALLY IF YOUR HOUSE IS A BIT DRAFTY
This was a great and easy bake, and the bread is delicious! Heads up, you’ll need to add more baking time if you’re adding extras. I did a cinnamon/honey/raisins version, and it was still doughy. I put it back in for another 10 minutes, and it’s perfection!
I haven't even made this bread yet but she's made me feel confident in my lack of baking skills that my bread was great, I can taste it already, it's going to be great 🤭
@@FeastandFarmCooks i also need to qualify a comment to Neville my not enough water was not your recipe. I had taken the best of a few various recipes to make my own but forgot to increase water n realised too late. Bread was lovely n soft n soft crust just like in supermarket but heavy. Thanks i enjoyed your vid.
I’ve never thought about bread being perfect, but this is the most perfect bread I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing, I cannot wait to complete my first attempt this weekend, and I also look forward to pursuing your other videos on your channel!
Your video was by far the most helpful!! These thorough instructions and great visuals helped me to make my first successful loaf of bread. Thank you!!
I've made quite a few loaves and watched many videos on the process and I have to say. Your video for beginner bread makers is by far the most detailed and the best I've seen. You actually answered a couple of questions I had. Thank you so much!
I love how you explained what to expect when you do things right AND wrong and letting the food do the talking. Thank you! Can't wait to try to make my first loaf of bread 🥰
I've make my own bread for years & I'm so glad I found this simple recipe. I've been making a big whoopty doo for no reason. Thanks for the easy way. Turned out as good as mine, maybe even better. Great job.
I live at around 6, 000 ft. First loaf got a little black on top. Should I lower the baking time, or the temperature? Or both ? Your suggestion is worth a million, already taught me how to make it. Thanks again
I'm not a high altitude baker but I do know oven temps usually have to be reduced and there are changes to liquids. You'd probably want to do some Googling to find out what needs to happen. Kentucky just isn't high enough for me to have ever had to fight with it. ;)
I just made this bread today after watching this video, and I have got to say its the best tasting homemade sandwich bread I've ever made. It really makes a difference doing it all by hand vs using a bread machine or even just using a stand mixer. Excellent recipe, easy to follow instructions, all around this is going down in my cookbook as a winning favorite.
I've tried to make bread before and failed. I decided to give it another go and found this video. I followed it step by step and in real time. It was great to be able to do that by the way. The result was amazing. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is probably the best tasting bread I've ever had. Obviously ingredients play a part in this (I used high quality flour, etc.) but it must be acknowledged that the teaching did too. What was a revelation to me was the statement "read the food not the recipe!" that made all the difference. Not being confident in my cooking, I sweat over the recipe, but taking on this advice made me relax and trust myself to just monitor the mixture. This means that I didn't stress when I needed to let the mix rest, etc. which were more than double what she said - I'm assuming because the temperature was low. I stuck to that concept of read the food. Right up until the end ... just as I thought the bread was right, it was about 5 minutes too early, I thought "it looks right, but it's 5 minutes too early, I'll just wash my hands and then take it out of the oven". Literally, in that time the top burnt a little bit. But the end result was amazing. Thank you so much. I will bake a couple of more loaves of bread while watching this video until I feel confident to do it on my own. But folks, in my opinion take on board her statement "read the food not the recipe". P.S. I'm having trouble not cutting more slices to eat now. :)
Thank you so much for this video I’m from the Bahamas and have been having a hard time with make bread and rolls but you explained everything with such ease and I have utmost confidence to try things your way.
Okay I just turned 55 and Ive never baked a loaf of bread ever in my life so watched your vid like 5 times and followed everything step by step and I am now eating the most perfect loaf of bread I've ever eaten. Thank you so much for making this video.
This is such an awesome comment. Way to go!!
Can you add sprouts, cranberries, nuts, etc and if so, what part of the process?
I'm 52 I've made frozen that's it. Today I'm trying this
*sad german noises*... I beg you to at least once try german/european dark bread from a normal local bakery... Things like carrot- or potato bread are a special kind of "moist" and perfect bread... And then go full german and eat it with Mett :)

I have a neighbor is a single guy so he does'nt get a lot of home cooked meals! When ever I bake bread I make an extra one for him! Ive never seen a more grateful man! 😄
@@pissedoff911, When I make bread sticks I roll them flat and roll them back up, depends how big you want them. Mine are about the size of Olive gardens! Remember they'll double in size!
Yes even French toast
Makes the best cinnamon bread
Its so cute how excited she gets even after doing this for so long
I made this a week ago, the loaf turned out so beautiful I almost cried. I had so many failures with other types of bread recipes that I cane into this one very sceptical but it turned out perfect. I sent this video to like a dozen of people who like cooking, perfect recipe. I'm returning to the video now to make 2 more loafs today
Thank you!
I'm so glad for you! No tears necessary!
@@FeastandFarmCooks made my loafs with success, this recipe is such a lifesaver. I made double the dough, divided, one was a normal loaf and the other in a long shorten pan with nuts and seeds, turned out amazing and it lasts! Doesn't dry out, it sits on the counter pretty for the last 5 days while we are slowly going through it. Thanks again, you are great!
English isn't my first language so your accent is such a pleasure to listen to, have a wonderful day!
I am thrilled. I cannot stop looking at the pictures I took of this mater piece after making my FIRST successful loaf of bread. So amazing and delicious. Tight crumb, airy and almost smells like pretzels on the crust. Thanks for sharing, this is a solid recipe/process.
I am so glad for you! Congratulations on a job well done!!
Just made my first ever loaf of bread following your video and it came out perfect and delicious!!!
I'm excited! Mine is rising now. I can hardly wait...Yay!
Thank You for sharing not only your recipe, but the video! That was so key to be able to do it with you. Your time is greatly appreciated. I'm sure most of us have no idea how much work goes into recording, editing, setting up and hours of other work you do just to be able to share your knowledge. God Bless You!!!
Thank you Cheri! I hope your bread was wonderful!
I found your recipe yesterday. I can't tell you how many recipes I've sifted through trying to find one that actually worked. I made yours today. PERFECTION! The simplest, most uncomplicated recipe (I'm a novice), yet it turned out the most beautiful, light and fluffy loaf of bread! Airy yet sturdy crumb, it will stand up to any Dagwood Sandwich. And the flavor is divine. I topped mine with Poppy and Sesame seeds. This is my go-to recipe from now on. Folks, you have to bake this bread! Thank you!

Wonderful! I'm so glad it has been helpful!
I made this recipe and loved it , I have now made about 30 loafs to give out in the past 2 weeks , everyone loves it and I have sent 7 of my friends this recipe after seeing my bread loafs, they love it also. Thanks so much for sharing
This has been the best instructional bread tutorial I’ve ever watched. Like many, even as a senior citizen, this past year has given me time and patience to improve my bread baking endeavors. Thank you so much! I’m using your basic recipe to make rosemary olive bread today. YUMMY!
Oh thank you Cynthia! I'm so glad you found it helpful. --Rachel
This was very excellent video. I have been trying different recipes and you have explained a lot of things here that make sense. I realize I need to knead more, wait a bit longer on the rising, let the dough rest before shaping, forget the towel or wrap on the pan, and use the butter when want the soft crust after baking. Thanks for this helpful information.
I made bread so many times following this recipe. every time, it comes out perfect.
Hoe long do you cook it for and at what temp??? Where did you get your silium?
I'm an educator and you are an amazing teacher step by step encouraging people on the way to not worry thank you
Thanks for watching!
I’m so happy I came across your videos while searching for a simple recipe for homemade bread. I love that you are so in-depth in explaining what you’re doing and taking the time to show all the steps. I ended up having a marathon session. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to doing this for us.Regards Evelyn
I hope you enjoyed your marathon Evelyn!
Thank u ,I love it
I love your detailed explanation for each step. You are inspiring me to begin making bread 🍞 , thank you ❤
Weighing flour is optimal and lots of us in the US does, in case anyone across the pond watches and thinks 😳 lol. I am happy to see more people baking more things from scratch! My hope is more shoppers become ingredient households 👍🏼
So far it’s looking good ❤ thank you so much for posting this my husband will be thrilled when he gets home in the morning with the smell of freshly baked bread 🥖 love from Canada
I am 61 years old. I have been making bread since I was about five with my grandma and this recipe is almost exactly identical as the one I grew up making very good video. Congratulations to you. Very clear. Easy to understand. Amazing job. I hope you make more videos.
I have watched this video like 10 times in the last two days. I am 37 and have never baked a loaf of bread. This was the best video I could have asked for! The way you explain how to let the dough rest and other snippets was SO useful. I made a loaf yesterday that was blah. And tried again today and omg! Soooo yummy. Thank you for this video!!!
I’m so excited to try this ….I love how clearly you explain every step ….you took the scary 👻out of 🍞 bread making ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE! It was my first time baking bread, and it turned out DELICIOUS! I will be using this recipe over and over! Highly recommend!!!!
This recipe was really easy all the ingredients was very simple it came together quite well for my first time baking bread.
Yea know right🤑😋😋
Same, today was my first attempt too! It turned out amazing!! Will be doing a lot more of this.
I made this using your recipe and now I am making a loaf a week for my husband as he LOVED the recipe! Thank you!
Wonderful!
im 146 years old and never heard of "bread", this was excellent! thank you!
😂
Wow 148 yo n still baking?
😂
Breadmaking is 12000 years old young man.
Wow! Made two loaves today, I substituted honey for cane sugar, and it was perfect. I spent two weeks trying to make bread without success, I stumbled on your recipe and just liked how you explained everything in detail and showed the kneading step.. I followed the recipe to the T ! I now have a recipe I can trust and will be making this weekly ❤ Thank you.
I'm so glad. It's too bad more people skip showing all the steps and you wouldn't have had to struggle so long.
I made this recipe today with my 4 year old daughter and it turned out great! Thanks Rachel, that was a great tutorial. I cannot wait to try out all your other recipes!
Hi Rachel,
I’ve been searching youtube for weeks on a comprehensive video on how to make a simple loaf of bread. Today was my fifth attempt. By far your video, recipe, instructions (how to knead), tips (eggs at room temperature) and in particular, “ What yeast should look like,“ when it cures, was perfect!
Although your video may be obvious to most accomplished bakers, as a novice it was beyond helpful. It gave me the confidence and courage to try, yet again to achieve a simple life long quest. Finally, at 65 years old, I made my first real loaf of bread from scratch!
I am so proud of myself!
Such a silly thing yet so much satisfaction!
Thank you!
I'm so glad you found everything helpful Nancy!!
I find all of your videos helpful.... can't wait to try your cinnamon rolls!@@FeastandFarmCooks
I just want to say I thank you so much. I've been struggling making bread for years on my own and it did not come out right I followed your simple instructions and my bread came out fantastic. It exactly like yours on the outside but the texture on the inside and outside was good and I just want to thank you for sharing your recipe with me.
I'm so glad to hear that! It's easy when you know what it should look like. :) I'm glad for you!
Wow! Thank you for explaining the process so patiently. Am definitely gonna try this tomorrow. Cheers!
You are such a great teacher! Your tutorial is so informative and easy to follow. I’m going to try your recipe today. YOUR loaf 🍞 looked about perfect! 🥰
Thank you! I know yours will be great too.
Thank you so much this is my first time ever making a loaf of bread and it was so soft. You go girl!! Making women better everyday thank you
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
I have been having some trouble with pizza dough after a number of pizzas and I just tried bread and had trouble with it too. I think your video is just what I needed to see all this time. Thank you!
Thank you for your in-depth instructions on what to look for in the dough and how to work with it. I just made my first loaf and she is beautiful!
You are so welcome!
I just made this for my wife. It's my first time making bread and it came out amazing. Thank you so much!🥳🥳
Fabulous! Great job.
I don't usually leave comments, but I'm so impressed with your video. You explain bread making so that anyone can understand and have fun making it themselves. I can't wait to give your recipe a try!!
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoy the recipe when you get a chance to make it.
I started making my own bread a bit over a month now. I bake a loaf about once every 5 days and this is my go to bread recipe. I love it so much. It's simple AND it tastes great. I truly recommend it for people starting to bake bread. It's truly a forgiving recipe. I want to add that if you're doing this recipe for the first time you should definitely cover it up with some foil about 15 minutes in because it browns quickly. The first time I baked this bread I burnt the top because I wasnt attentive, but I just removed the crust and it still tasted great.
Me too lol exactly I mean everything how funny sorry lol I just thought that was cool
You are an awesome teacher! Me and my mom have been so intimidated to try bread but you gave us the confidence, it's on its final rise now!
Oh wonderful! I'm so glad you finally tackled it. You make one loaf and then you make more--and you get better each time!
Thank you for giving us precise step by step instructions, tips and end product. Best bread baking lesson ever. ❤️
Well thank you so much!
I just baked the bread according to your recipe. Thank you so, so much. It came out perfect even though my bread tin is a bit bigger b(for 900gm loaf). I wish I could upload a photo here to show you. Can't thank you enough. 👍
@@TheMaturestudent Wooohoo! Great job! I wish you could upload it too! You can tag me on Instagram if you use that @feastandfarm ;)
@@FeastandFarmCooks , good idea. I've tagged you on Instagram.
Trying this for the first time today. My loaf pan is a bit smaller so hopefully that doesn’t make too much of a difference. It’s in the oven know so I will know soon 🤞🏻
I've tried dozens of different bread recipes i've never been completely satisfied with the flavor. This recipe is no joke i finally found the perfect bread recipe. thank you for sharing. I've been gifting everyone bread all week lol
Great to hear!
Thank you so much for posting! I am making this for the 2nd time as the first time it came out perfectly! Your method makes the bread delicious and the steps are very easy to follow. I used regular sugar. You are correct, beginner friendly, thank you.
You can freeze yeast to exstend the shelf life of it. I keep my yeast always in the freezer.
Thanks for the tip
Even me too
Same
It is now 2021. Way back when, I bought a Costco bag of yeast, kept it sealed in the fridge and just completed using it up 2 or 3 years ago. The expiration date was either 2007 or 2009 and that yeast worked right up til the end. :)
Yeah, me too. I learnt it from Gemma at Bigger Bolder Baking.
This was such a great tutorial :) I made it last week with all purpose flour and it turned out so good! We ate the whole loaf in less than 48 hrs. Now I’ve got myself some bread flour and I’m gonna do it again.
Thank you!
Goooo! You are doing great!
i gave up on ultra processed foods 4 weeks ago and dropped 25lbs almost immediately, but i miss bread so much. this video is perfect for someone still learning how to bake, what to watch out for, straight to the point + useful tips/advice, and you make it feel like we're doing it with you. thank you for this. also, you were way too calm when that wasp landed on your finger... impressive!
Just made my first loaf of bread with your recipe and instructions. I was amazed that it turned out so well, and tasted so good. Thanks so much for giving me the confidence to go ahead and make my own bread.
Great job!
Thanks for the tips and love your honest comments about baking the bread. I felt like I was sitting watching a good friend baking the bread. I HAVE been baking bread for about 3 years. Just wanted your advice about putting some oil on the bread before the second rise. My bread comes out soft and browns beautifully.
Love that!
I made this earlier today it's been out of the oven for an hour... Couldn't wait to try it...it was really good! Thank you so much for the recipe and great video 😊
Hello! I am 54 and I've never made homemade bread. Thank you for this super easy video!! Now I’m trying your cinnamon rolls! Thank you! You’re the best!! ❤🎉
You are so welcome!
This is the best bread recipe I’ve made, and I bake ALOT of bread. My kids love it and bring a thick slice to school every day, her friends always want a slice as well.
Thank you!
👍🏻🙂 One of the best dough making videos I’ve watched… And I’ve watched many.
You explained every step with unmistakable southern charm.
Thanks again. I learned a lot. 👍🏻🥖
Oh thanks Jack! I hope you'll try your hand at a loaf :)
Thank you so much just finished making my first 🍞 . I can believe how easy it was. I've always been so hesitant to work with yeast. Thanks to you, you have taken that away.
Wonderful!
I followed another recipe on YT today that was pretty easy and came out ok. After watching this video I have learned so much more that the other video did not cover. You did a great job explaining everything thoroughly. I’ll be trying this one tomorrow!
Great!
@@FeastandFarmCooks by the way, I tried your recipe yesterday and OMG it came out beautifully!! It was picture perfect and tasted great!!!
@@richardcabrera1583 I'm so glad to hear it!
I have made potato bread for years. Edit this down made it and its prettiest loaf I ever made. Your a great teacher to old woman thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve struggled with making bread for awhile, and so glad I found your video! I got a lot of excellent tips that I hadn’t heard/read before, and I think those really helped. My first loaf is cooling as I type - it looks beautiful, and smells divine. I’m sure it’ll taste like a little slice of yeasty heaven :-)
Thank you for the in depth instructions for us beginners. I may give this a go
I love you accent, you sound like such a sweet person! And I’m going to try this bread thank you! I hope my family loves it!
Thank you! I hope they do too!
I love her accent too! She reminds me of Jenna from Waitress lol. Very good vibes
Thank you so much for explaining so easily and clearly how to make this loaf ,
My pleasure 😊
Made this for first time! Turned out perfectly and I will definitely be making more in future 🥰
We are hoping you and your loved ones are safe and well! Its so comforting to see a new vid posted here! Thank you!
Just a quick tip for my fellow newbies ; If you use White Lilly flour, you have to add 2 tbls for each cup of the recipe. For this recipe I used 3 cups + 6 tbls of all purpose flour. This is a great recipe, by the way. Thumbs up !!
White Lilly is second worst only to Pillsbury flour in my baking experience. It's just not finely milled enough to suit me but I'm glad you got it to work on your loaf!
Using White Lilly is the only time I’ve messed up bread. It took three times to realize that the flour acts so differently. I was doing sourdoughs, this would have been a better recipe to use it with(hydration).
How delightful and easy. I will definitely try to make this. Loved this video thank you
Great to hear!
Beautiful! Great for starters making breads! Top-notch instructions too! 👍
This look delicious love hard dough bread you are a very good teacher thank you very easy and simple
It looks so simple and yet delicious such a easy recipe thank you very much for sharing your recipe with us highly appreciated
It's so obvious why your bread comes out perfect. It's made with love which shines through your video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much 😊
Wow. This was the best demo and live tutorial I have ever seen. I felt like I was there with you working together! Perfect. Enjoyed very much. I differently will try this. 🍞
Wonderful!
You are an incredible teacher, thank you for sharing your expertise. I am glad I found your channel. 😊
Very well Don.
Your video was so helpful! I have always wanted to make my own bread but been intimidated by the process... this was so simple and I can't wait to start making my own! I have 2 teenage boys in our house and we go through alot of bread! This is going to be a money saver and a game changer for us! I love also how you commented on the longevity of it and how to freeze it :) that is something we will have to do around here
Glad it was helpful Tiffany!
That's what my mom thought but the bread 🍞 tasted so good we ate it right up
Thank you so much for this recipe. I have been looking for a simple, straight forward recipe for a loaf of bread. I like how you showed in real time , exactly how to knead bread dough, and for how long. I'm literally waiting for my dough to finish it's second rising. Thx again.
You're welcome!
Hi like your recipe. I will omit the eggs. Going to try it.
Thank you take care lots of love from South Africa.
Why do we need to add eggs.?
I leave my bread dough to rise uncovered. I use a proof setting on my electric convection oven and it rises beautifully in about 35-40 minutes.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CONVECTION OVEN PUT YOUR DOUGH IN YOUR OVEN AND COVER IT WITH A TEA TOWEL AND TURN ON THE OVEN LIGHT THIS WORKS VERY WELL ESPECIALLY IF YOUR HOUSE IS A BIT DRAFTY
This was a great and easy bake, and the bread is delicious! Heads up, you’ll need to add more baking time if you’re adding extras. I did a cinnamon/honey/raisins version, and it was still doughy. I put it back in for another 10 minutes, and it’s perfection!
Thanks, good to know.👍😊
Best bread I have ever had, thank goodness I found this video, thanks so much
I haven't even made this bread yet but she's made me feel confident in my lack of baking skills that my bread was great, I can taste it already, it's going to be great 🤭
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this! Unbelievable you were so calm with the wasp no screams, or edits!
I'm a real farm girl. Lol. No screaming here. I honestly don't know if I know how to scream. 😂
@@FeastandFarmCooks i also need to qualify a comment to Neville my not enough water was not your recipe. I had taken the best of a few various recipes to make my own but forgot to increase water n realised too late. Bread was lovely n soft n soft crust just like in supermarket but heavy. Thanks i enjoyed your vid.
Feast and Farm Cooks in
I’ve never thought about bread being perfect, but this is the most perfect bread I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing, I cannot wait to complete my first attempt this weekend, and I also look forward to pursuing your other videos on your channel!
Your video was by far the most helpful!! These thorough instructions and great visuals helped me to make my first successful loaf of bread. Thank you!!
I'm making this for the second time. My loaf was the best. I'm waiting for this to rise the last time in the pan. Looks good. Thank you
I've made quite a few loaves and watched many videos on the process and I have to say. Your video for beginner bread makers is by far the most detailed and the best I've seen. You actually answered a couple of questions I had. Thank you so much!
Oh thank you so much Lynn! I'm glad you found it helpful.
@@FeastandFarmCooks hi there, is that 7g yeast, we hv 10g pkts here??
Love how well you explain everything. I’m gonna try your recipe! Thank you!❤️
I love how you explained what to expect when you do things right AND wrong and letting the food do the talking. Thank you! Can't wait to try to make my first loaf of bread 🥰
Good luck Angela! I know you can do it!

I've make my own bread for years & I'm so glad I found this simple recipe. I've been making a big whoopty doo for no reason. Thanks for the easy way. Turned out as good as mine, maybe even better. Great job.
59 years old. Turned out perfect. First time baking bread. Thanks 👍
Great job!
I live at around 6, 000 ft. First loaf got a little black on top.
Should I lower the baking time, or the temperature? Or both ?
Your suggestion is worth a million, already taught me how to make it.
Thanks again
I'm not a high altitude baker but I do know oven temps usually have to be reduced and there are changes to liquids. You'd probably want to do some Googling to find out what needs to happen. Kentucky just isn't high enough for me to have ever had to fight with it. ;)
Thank you for all the notes 😁 love when videos explain what is going on, this is how we all learn!
Yes it is!
She really gives great instructions. I love her videos.
I just made this bread today after watching this video, and I have got to say its the best tasting homemade sandwich bread I've ever made. It really makes a difference doing it all by hand vs using a bread machine or even just using a stand mixer. Excellent recipe, easy to follow instructions, all around this is going down in my cookbook as a winning favorite.
Is there a written recipe?
Or does one watch and write?
😊
I've tried to make bread before and failed. I decided to give it another go and found this video. I followed it step by step and in real time. It was great to be able to do that by the way. The result was amazing. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is probably the best tasting bread I've ever had. Obviously ingredients play a part in this (I used high quality flour, etc.) but it must be acknowledged that the teaching did too. What was a revelation to me was the statement "read the food not the recipe!" that made all the difference. Not being confident in my cooking, I sweat over the recipe, but taking on this advice made me relax and trust myself to just monitor the mixture. This means that I didn't stress when I needed to let the mix rest, etc. which were more than double what she said - I'm assuming because the temperature was low. I stuck to that concept of read the food. Right up until the end ... just as I thought the bread was right, it was about 5 minutes too early, I thought "it looks right, but it's 5 minutes too early, I'll just wash my hands and then take it out of the oven". Literally, in that time the top burnt a little bit. But the end result was amazing. Thank you so much. I will bake a couple of more loaves of bread while watching this video until I feel confident to do it on my own. But folks, in my opinion take on board her statement "read the food not the recipe". P.S. I'm having trouble not cutting more slices to eat now. :)
This is fabulous and you are so awesome!!!
Thank you so much for this video I’m from the Bahamas and have been having a hard time with make bread and rolls but you explained everything with such ease and I have utmost confidence to try things your way.
