How to do it
This Bread is one of the best budget meals you can make at home. Simple, fast, and made with ingredients you already have — ideal for beginners or anyone planning affordable family dinners. Let’s cook smarter, not harder.
Ingredients:
- 2 whole eggs (plus 1 extra for brushing)
- 2 cups warm full-cream milk (just warm enough to activate the yeast)
- 50 g fresh yeast or 20 g (2 sachets) instant dry yeast
- 4 tablespoons margarine or butter
- 1 tablespoon salt (level)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (heaped)
- Cake wheat flour (or all-purpose flour) – enough to form a dough that doesn’t stick to your hands
Instructions:
Activate the yeast:
In a large bowl, mix the warm milk with the yeast until dissolved.
Add the wet ingredients:
Stir in the margarine, salt, sugar, and the 2 eggs. Mix until well combined.
Form the dough:
Gradually add flour, mixing and kneading with your hands until the dough becomes soft and no longer sticks to your fingers.
Shape the rolls:
Shape the dough into rolls (any shape you prefer) and place them on a greased and floured baking tray, leaving some space between each one.
Let it rise:
Cover and let the dough rise for about 20 minutes or until puffy.
Bake:
Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the rolls for a shiny golden top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) until golden brown.
Enjoy your fresh, warm milk bread with butter, jam, cheese, or even as a sandwich!
