Soft and fluffy bread

 

Here's a simple recipe for soft and fluffy bread — perfect for sandwiches or just enjoying warm with butter:

---

Soft & Fluffy White Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 cups (500g) bread flour (plus extra as needed)
• 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet or 7g) active dry yeast
• 2 tbsp (25g) sugar
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup (240ml) warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
• ¼ cup (60ml) warm water
• ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 egg (room temperature)

---

Instructions:

1. Activate the Yeast:

   • In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.

2. Make the Dough:

   • In a large mixing bowl, add flour and salt. Mix.
   • Add yeast mixture, warm milk, butter, and egg.
   • Mix until a sticky dough forms.
   • Knead by hand (10 mins) or with a stand mixer + dough hook (5–7 mins) until smooth and elastic. Add a bit of flour if it's too sticky, but keep it soft.

3. First Rise:

   • Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap.
   • Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

4. Shape the Dough:

   • Punch down the dough, then roll or stretch it into a rectangle and shape it into a loaf.
   • Place it in a greased 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan.

5. Second Rise:

   • Cover loosely and let it rise again for 45–60 minutes, or until the dough domes over the edge of the pan.

6. Bake:

   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

7. Cool:

   • Remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack. Brush with melted butter for a soft crust.

---

Tips for Extra Softness:

• Use bread flour for better gluten development (stronger rise).
• Don’t over-flour. A slightly sticky dough = softer bread.
• Brush warm loaf with melted butter.
• Store wrapped in plastic or a bread bag to retain moisture.

🍍🍚 Hawaiian Fried Rice – Sweet, Savory, and Better Than Takeout! 🔥🥢

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked rice (day-old works best)
• 1 cup diced pineapple (fresh or canned, drained)
• 1/2 cup diced ham (or spam, bacon, or chicken)
• 1/2 cup peas and carrots (frozen mix works)
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2–3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil (or vegetable oil)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Optional: pinch of chili flakes or sriracha for heat

Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
2. Scramble eggs in the pan and cook until just set. Remove and set aside.
3. Add ham and cook until lightly browned, then toss in peas and carrots.
4. Stir in rice and pineapple. Cook 2–3 minutes, letting the rice get a little crispy.
5. Season with soy sauce and optional chili flakes. Return eggs to the pan and mix everything together.
6. Top with green onions, and serve hot—straight from the pan or in a pineapple bowl for extra flair!
