Easy Homemade Bread

Ingredients

Directions

Place the yeast and sugar in a small bowl. Pour the warm water (not too hot) over the yeast mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes, or until nice and bubbly.
Combine melted butter, sugar, evaporated milk and salt into a large mixing bowl. When your yeast mixture is ready add them together and mix.
If you are using a stand mixer put on your bread hook and then pour in 3 cups of flour. If not you can stir/kneed it as well. Then add in 1 cup of flour at a time and mix. When you get to 5 cups of flour in the bowl, add in 1/2 cup more of flour at a time until the dough is no longer sticking to the sides. You’ll know it’s ready when your fingers no longer stick to the dough.
Then cover the ball of dough and sides of the bowl with shortening and cover the bowl with a warm towel. Set by the window and allow it it rise (about 1.5 hours). When it has risen over the bowl punch it down and place on a floured surface.
Kneed the dough for 2-3 minutes.
Cut dough into two pieces and roll them out into a rectangle. Roll the dough up and tuck the ends under. Then place into 2 greased bread pans.
Let the bread rise again, and when it looks like a good loaf of bread place them in the oven at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. When the bread is done, coat the top with butter and remove onto a cooling rack.

Ingredients

Directions

Melt the butter and leave to cool slightly
Whisk the egg and sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy and pale
Weigh all the dry ingredients and sift them into the egg and sugar mixture. Fold in until everything is incorporated
Fold in the melted butter until you are left with a smooth chocolate mixture
Pour into a lined cake tin. This recipe fits a normal 8in tin. The cake will not rise, but it will puff up slightly during baking
Bake at 350 degrees for around 20 minutes. The exact time can vary, so keep an eye on the cake. A perfect sticky cake is very soft in the middle, but not runny once it has cooled – but almost runny
If you press down gently on the cake whilst its baking, the crust should need a bit of pressure to crack. When this happens, the cake is done. Leave to cool in the tin for at least an hour.
Once cooled, top with sliced strawberries, mint sprigs, whipped cream, and a sprinkling of Natural or Lime Falksalt.
