AUTHORHi Rajan,

Somehow I seem to prefer the square sliced bread even if I make it at home. Do you have a recipe for bread made without yeast and egg? Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Linda,
Yes, you're right! That's why really like to make my own bread at home because it is more delicious and nutritious too. Though making my home-made bread can be a very tedious task, however, I still enjoy it.

Mary,
I do enjoy making my own bread at home especially those with fillings inside. A lot cheaper than the ones I buy in the store. For the bread improver, I see a slight difference using this recipe of mine. But if you will try to increase the amount like what other commercial establishments do, it will certainly help to minimize the cost and to improve the size.
I don't eat homemade bread very often, but I always enjoy it when I do. It tastes much nicer than the bread that I buy in stores. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
I love home made bread and sometimes, do up some. I have never used bread improver. I wonder if it really makes a difference.

Miebakagh,
You can adjust the sugar. But I won't really recommend it since that's only 2/3 of a cup. Did you know that the more you rest the dough the fluffier the bread is? Thanks for dropping by!
Hi, dcuan I sometimes made bread for the family. But don't you think 160gm of sugar is too much? We had to be careful of high blood pressure. Your receipt reminds me of letting the dough rest for 30 minutes. Thanks.
