You must be wondering why make bread at home,but sometimes it is fun to cook what we often buy !! : ) ... so here is the recipe to make the soft delicious homemade classic white bread.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 tbsp salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2.5 tsp active dry yeast
• 2 tbsp milk
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 cup warm water

Stage 1 - Making the dough

Take a large bowl add sugar,salt,oil and yeast and mix nicely.Then add warm water and let it sit for 10 min. After 10 min add milk and the all purpose flour 1 cup at a time and knead for approximately 5 min or until the dough becomes smooth.Keep the dough aside.

Stage 2 - Resting the dough for baking

Coat the bowl with 1 tbsp oil,then place this dough in it and roll it. Cover this bowl with a damp cloth or a cling wrap and let it sit for 1 hr.
