Sandwich Bread (White Bread, Cinnamon Swirl, Everything Bagel)

Step 1: Activate the yeast

  • Standard dough

    • skim milk
      , warmed
      227 g
    • instant yeast
      8 g1 packet

Warm the milk in the microwave for ~30 seconds. Ideally, the milk should be around 100°F/38°C to help the yeast proof. Add the yeast and stir until dissolved. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes until light foam surfaces and little bubbles are visible.

  • Note: Proofing is done to test the viability of the yeast. If there is no foam surface or little bubbles the yeast is likely dead and should be discarded.
