So, mix 10 oz of warm water with 0.25 oz of yeast powder or 1 oz of sugar/ honey in a small bowl and set it aside for 5-10 minutes.</span></span></span></li> </ul><p>&nbsp;</p><ul> <li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style='font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"'><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Now, in the second step, you need to prepare the bread dough.

If you are using your hands to prepare, then keep kneading the dough for 8-10 minutes. If you're using a stand mixer, the dough can be made in just 5-6 minutes. Knead till the texture of the dough becomes slightly sticky but smooth and elastic.</span></span></span></li> </ul><p>&nbsp;</p><ul> <li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style='font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"'><span style="font-size:14.0pt">The bread dough needs to be risen twice so that the bread becomes soft and well-fermented. After kneading the first rise, grease it with oil and keep it covered in a bowl for 1-1.5 minutes. If your place is cold, it may take a little longer for the dough to rise.</span></span></span></li> </ul><p>&nbsp;</p><ul> <li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style='font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"'><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Now you will see that the dough has puffed up significantly. You need to punch it and bring it into shape, then shape it into a loaf. For this, you will have to knead it for some time.</span></span></span></li> </ul><p>&nbsp;</p><ul> <li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style='font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"'><span style="font-size:14.0pt">After shaping the loaf, grease it in a loaf pan and let it rise again for 35-40 minutes, until the puffing reaches the upper edge of the pan.</span></span></span></li> </ul><p>&nbsp;</p><ul> <li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style='font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"'><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Once the loaf is rising, place it in the preheated oven at 375&deg;F and bake for 30-35 minutes.</span></span></span></li> </ul><p>&nbsp;</p><ul> <li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style='font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"'><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Now you will see that the brown bread has become soft, fluffy, and golden brown on top. Take it out of the oven. Grease it with oil or butter and keep it aside to cool. Now you can taste it, and you can also share it with your family and friends.</span></span></span></li> </ul>
