Back To Basic ~ Everyday Bread by Bread Machine (Recommended)

口味丰富的土司吃多了,有时只想尝一口最原始口味的白土司。材料就只有简单的面粉、水、糖、盐、油和酵母。

这个土司的味道和口感就像我小时候吃过传统咖啡店售卖的白土司,那种烤好后要切掉黑黑外皮的白土司。

土司外脆内柔,而且带有弹性,我们趁热沾咖哩汁吃光了,所以我不知道面包留到第二天的口感会是怎样。

Basic White Toast 基本白土司

A simple white toast made from very basic ingredients, it just tasted like the white toast sold in traditional kopitiam (coffee shop). This recipe is definitely a keeper for me

Ingredients:
1 cup cold water
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cups bread flour (I used 2 ½ cups bread flour + ½ cup plain flour)
1 tsp instant yeast

Method:
By bread machine
1) Place ingredients in the bread pan according to the above sequence (salt and sugar at opposite of the pan)(make an indention at the centre of the flour and add in yeast).
2) Select 'Basic' program, 'Light' colour (select 'Medium' colour if you prefer crispier and thicker crust), '700g' (smaller size), press 'Start/Stop' button to start the program.
3) When done, remove bread from bread pan and cool on wire rack.

Note:
I made this bread one month ago, ever since my first attempt this has become my regular recipe. I have used this recipe to make breads with some variations, such as replacing part of the bread flour with wholemeal flour, using milk instead of water, etc.

  3. Hi tracieMoo,

    If you use 100% wholemeal flour the bread will be small and dense. Normally for wholemeal bread. bread flour is added.

    I tried using 50% bread flour and 50% wholemeal flour, the result wasn't good, it's too heavy and dense for my liking (I think most Asian still prefer soft bread). I use this recipe and use about 15-20% wholemeal flour, the verdict is good.

    I will share this in the upcoming post.

  6. Hi MeRy,

    I am using Carrefour housebrand - Bluesky. I am not sure if it is available in Malaysia. I checked Carrefour in JB, it is not available.

    You may see my post about the bread machine here.

  8. Hi samm,

    Thanks for visiting my site.

    The cup I use is 240ml. For baking with oven and knead by hand, you may refer to the steps here.

    (when you roll up it's without any filling for this bread)

  9. Hai Angel, I tried this recipe yesterday. I used my Amway BreadMaker to bake. The result is quite disappointing. The bread is hard and small. It doesnt have the soft texture like yours. I used 400g High Pro Flr and rest are as per your instruction. Is 1 tsp yeast enough for that amt of flour. Waiting for your kind advice before I try again. TQ

  10. Pushpa Soh,

    I am sorry to hear that....I have tried this recipe many times, 1 tsp of instant yeast is enough.

    If you follow the recipe closely, I can't think of anything else except the instant yeast that you used may be already 'dead'. You may try to do a yeast test (I am not going to explain how the test work here, u can easily google for it).

    If not, try to use a new pack of instant yeast.

    The brand I usually use is this - http://angelcookbakelove.blogspot.com/2009/04/instant-yeast.html

    You mentioned you used 400g of high protein flour, I am not sure if 400g = 3 cups. I suggest you follow the recipe by using cup to measure.

    Don't give up. Good luck to your next attempt. Let me know the outcome! :-)

  12. Hi, Angel

    这个白面包做出来,可以收多久呢?
    只少要三天吧,可以吗?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Gigi,

    收三天没问题,但是这个配方的面包放到隔天没当天软(但还不错),到了第三天就会有点硬。

    我的做法是面包做好冷却到90%后,收入密封的袋子直接进冷冻库(freezer),要吃前拿出来解冻就行了。面包会和当天做的一样柔软哦!

  16. Hi, Angel

    你所谓的“冷却到90%后“ 是放进冰箱吗?
    :p

  17. Hi gigi

    http://angelcookbakelove.blogspot.com/2009/05/new-toy-bm.html

    很便宜而已,so far so good.

    我有看到网友说很像carefour没有卖了。如果有budget你不妨考虑买比较有品牌的。

  18. Gigi,

    冷却到外面冷中心还有一点点温时就可以打包放进冷冻库(freezer)。

    1. Hi Tom,

      The measuring cup used in my blog is all US standard, i.e it is 240ml/cup unless otherwise stated.

      One cup of bread flour is about 140g (unsifted).
