Identical Recipe Comparison: Baking in the bread Machine vs Dough Course/Oven:

HAPPY NATIONAL HOMEMADE BREAD DAY 2021!

In this video I make the identical recipe in two identical bread machines. I bake one in the bread machine and the other I make on dough course and bake in the oven. Just wait until you see the differences in size, appearance, and texture in this fun experiment!

Here is the recipe I used:


Sweet Milk and Vanilla Bread by Ellen Walker Hoffman

Make in a 2 pound capacity bread machine on dough course. This is a yummy twist on a basic white bread. The milk and egg make for wonderful flavor and a tender, soft crumb!


236 g milk
1 egg
9 g vanilla extract
492 g bread flour
50 g sugar
5 g salt
75 g butter
6 g SAF INSTANT YEAST

*try orange zest or other flavorings
I use the dough cycle. Dump out of bread pan onto oiled cutting board or solid surface. Shape and put in loaf pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Turn on oven to 170 and turn off in one minute. Let rise in the slightly warmed oven for 45 minutes. Take out, preheat oven to 350. Egg wash and bake for 30-40 minutes until inner temperature reaches 190-200 degrees . (Watch after 20 minutes to make sure it doesn’t get too brown.
Cool 2-3 hours, slice, put in heavy duty plastic freezer bag and freeze same day as baked to preserve freshness. Take out slices as needed to defrost or toast.
