Home Made Bread

 This is actually a recipe that was passed on but I felt that it needed to be tweaked a bit to fit in according to my taste.  The goal is to make it Easy, 

So here is an easy to follow procedure for you. 

Ingredients A (Dry)

2 cups Bread Flour

2 Tsp Instant Dry Yeast

1 Tsp Sugar

1/2 Tsp Salt

Ingredients B (Wet)

1 cup Water

2 Tbs Corn Oil

1. Mix all of Ingredients A (Dry)  with a spoon.
2. Pour Ingredients B (Wet) in A 1st the water then the oil
3. Mix with a spoon until all the water have been spread evenly in the dough.
4. Knead by hand lightly in the bowl by pushing it down repeatedly for about a min then keep folding for about 2-3min then form it onto a ball
5. Spread a thin film of corn oil around the dough then cover with a kitchen cloth or towel and leave it for 45min - 1hour  ( It will be a little bit tacky and rough in texture but eventually, the flour will absorb most of the moisture allowing the ingredients to blend as it almost doubles in size) 
6. Get the puffed up dough and start folding from the outside toward the bottom center (outside-in) of the dough for 2min (you will notice it turning into a ball that's smooth in texture
7. Then form your dough and put it in the bread pan and again spread a thin coat of corn oil around it
8.  Get a knife and put a little oil on the blade and cut some slits on top of the dough to give it that design (optional)
9.  Cover with a kitchen cloth or towel and let it rise for about 1.5hrs  but do not go over 2hrs ( it will double in size again or even bigger)
10. This is optional. you can get about a teaspoon of bread flour and put it in a fine strainer, shake some flour on top of your dough
11. Preheat your oven at 195 degrees for 5-10 min (gas range),  Electric oven at 185-190 deg. 
12. You may have to adjust the temperature about 5-10 degrees lower for electric ovens since electric ovens have a drier environment
13. Put your bread in the oven and bake it for 18min up to 20min if you want it a little darker
14. Remove from the oven and let it it cool down for about 30min. 
15. The outer cover of the bread normally is hard on top when brought out of the oven but eventually the top softens up as it cools down
