Bread in a Bag is a fun and interactive way to make fresh bread with minimal cleanup, as most of the mixing and kneading happens directly inside a plastic bag. This method yields soft, golden loaves that are perfect for beginners.
Bread in a Bag
Why This Recipe Works
-
Mess-Free: By using a gallon-sized freezer bag, you keep your counters and hands clean during the initial mixing and kneading stages.
-
Kid-Friendly: It is a highly tactile process that is perfect for teaching students or children the science of yeast.
-
Soft Texture: The addition of milk and butter creates a tender, rich crumb and a shiny, golden-brown crust.
Ingredient Notes & Details
-
2 cups All-Purpose Flour: The base of your dough; you may need a little extra for dusting if the dough remains too sticky.
-
1 cup Milk (Warm): Should be between 40°C–45°C (105°F–115°F) to activate the yeast without killing it.
-
1 tablespoon Baking Powder: Provides an extra boost for a quick and reliable rise.
-
2 tablespoons Melted Butter or Olive Oil: Adds richness to the dough and helps create the glossy finish seen in the loaves.
