This recipe offers a simple and quick way to make delicious homemade bread and rolls, perfect for any occasion.
Heat the skim milk, sugar, salt, and butter substitute in a small saucepan until the butter substitute melts and the sugar dissolves.
Ensure the mixture does not boil; it should just warm up enough to melt the ingredients.
Cool the milk mixture to lukewarm temperature.
Test the temperature with your finger; it should feel warm but not hot.
Dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water in a mixing bowl.
Let the yeast sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating it's active.
Add the cooled milk mixture to the yeast mixture and gradually add the all-purpose flour while mixing.
Mix until a soft dough forms, adding flour as needed to prevent stickiness.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it to grease the top, and cover it.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth to keep the dough from drying out.
Let the dough rise next to a warm oven for 10 minutes.
A warm environment helps the dough rise quickly.
Divide the dough into a greased loaf pan and muffin pans for rolls.
Ensure the pans are well-greased to prevent sticking.
Let the dough rise in the oven at 170°F for 10 minutes.
This step ensures the bread and rolls are light and fluffy.
Bake at 425°F for 12 minutes for rolls and 25-30 minutes for the bread.
Check for a golden brown color and a hollow sound when tapped to ensure doneness.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
