this bread loaf is super simple to make, it requires basic ingredients and it's soft, delicious with a touch of sweetness. although it is a lot easier to just buy a white bread loaf at the grocery stores, it is also satisfying to just make on your own. not only you know the quality of ingredients you use, it also leaves a good smell on your whole house and it doesn't have preservatives.

tips:

1. make sure all the ingredients are in room temperature
2. to lessen your dough time rising, pre heat your oven to the lowest temperature, turn it off. cover your newly knead dough with a damp towel and put it inside the oven. usually with this process, my dough is ready in just 30 minutes
3. if you have any questions please feel free to drop it in the comments :)
