Answers: How do I shape and bake basic white bread?
- dough readiness test
- shaping a bread loaf
- bread rising
- baking bread in a loaf pan
- cooling and slicing baked bread
Ingredients
- all-purpose flour
What it concludes
- Dough is ready to shape when it is marshmallowy, puffy, doubled in size, and leaves air bubbles when poked.
- Pressing the shaped dough down into the loaf pan distributes it evenly so it rises with a smooth shape.
- Bread should never rise more than an inch above the loaf pan, or it will be over-risen and flatten out in the oven.
- Bake the bread in the center rack of the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 40 minutes.
- A baked loaf should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom and should cool for about 30 minutes before slicing to avoid compressing the crumb.
