Okay I just turned 55 and Ive never baked a loaf of bread ever in my life so watched your vid like 5 times and followed everything step by step and I am now eating the most perfect loaf of bread I've ever eaten. Thank you so much for making this video.

You seem to care about your audience actually learning and feeling comfortable more than showmanship of your definite skill. This is a gift. Thanks for sharing!

I'm 17 and have been trying to make bread on and off since last year. Tired 3 times, all pretty epic failures for different reasons. School was canceled today so I decided to try again. I just took my loaf out of the pan and it is so beautiful!!! And from the small bits that fell off that I tasted it tastes amazing too!!

Had to come back & say thank you🙏🏾. I've been baking bread for my family of 9 for over a year now thanks to your video. I also have a little bread business all from baking my neighbor a loaf & word spreading like wild fire. Again, thank you.

I'm 48 years-old and this was the first time I made a loaf of bread in my life. It turned out excellent! Thank you!

im 146 years old and never heard of "bread", this was excellent! thank you!

Thank you 100x over! I am 51 years old and this is my very first loaf of bread that I have ever attempted! It turned out absolutely beautiful! I literally cried tears and couldn't speak trying to make a video of it to show my Mom! I have watched numerous videos and looked up dozens of recipes but I never could get up the nerve to ever try it. I'm so glad that I came across your video!

Today I made 2 loaves of your bread and never made bread from scratch before. They both are cooling and look so yummy. I just want to thank you so much 3 years ago you posted this, however I just found it. 3 years ago I couldn't even walk, let alone cook a meal. With my recovery, I am making breads, noodles, etc as way of therapy. Thank you again and bless you. ❤

Thank you for the real time steps! The part about letting the dough rest 5 mins to let gluten strands relax if dough is fighting was a really helpful tip I never heard before. I love your videos.

I’m a new 21 year old mom having my first thanksgiving with my husband and baby in our apartment and I really wanted to make some homemade bread, but forgot my grandmas recipe. Thank you so much for this, I’m so excited to make it for our first Thanksgiving on our own!!

I watched your video on Monday, it’s Saturday and I been making bread every day for almost a week. So easy and simple, my family loves it! ❤

This was such a great tutorial :) I made it last week with all purpose flour and it turned out so good! We ate the whole loaf in less than 48 hrs. Now I’ve got myself some bread flour and I’m gonna do it again. Thank you!

At age 73, I’m new to bread making but having a lot of fun with it. After two loaves of really basic no-knead, I gave this method/recipe a shot, substituting whole wheat flour and the dutch oven baking method. The result was quite satisfactory. Kneading dough is fun work! Thanks to the young lady for the information and inspiration . . . 😄

I love how your presentation is encouraging others to bake. Mom always told/said the same thing to us - your dough should be soft as a babies bottom. Always knead with your hands it's how we learn to feel our dough. Thanks for encouraging others to make home-made bread.

Thank you so much for this recipe. I'm a 65 yo retired male and this was the first thing that I've ever baked. I've always enjoyed homemade bread, now I'm not at the mercy of someone else making it for me. Got to admit, I surprised myself with how it turned out. Guaranteed, if I can do it, following your tutelage, any one can. Thank you again.

I love how the recipe works for sliced bread, hamburger buns, hotdog buns, and dinner rolls. Same recipe, different shapes. I made hotdog buns for the first time and they came out wonderful (about 50 grams made the perfect size)

I baked a loaf today using your directions. So good. I tried a different recipe a few weeks ago but yours reminded me of my mother’s bread. This is a keeper.

Its so cute how excited she gets even after doing this for so long

I made this a week ago, the loaf turned out so beautiful I almost cried. I had so many failures with other types of bread recipes that I cane into this one very sceptical but it turned out perfect. I sent this video to like a dozen of people who like cooking, perfect recipe. I'm returning to the video now to make 2 more loafs today Thank you!

This is the most informative bread vid I have come across. I love how you just sprinkle in little gems of wisdom and encouragement. 👏👏🥰

I have tried to make bread several times but never turned out right. I followed you step by step and made a beautiful loaf of bread just like yours and it was delicious. I’m 70 years old and I can now make bread. Thank you for the video 😊

This was very excellent video. I have been trying different recipes and you have explained a lot of things here that make sense. I realize I need to knead more, wait a bit longer on the rising, let the dough rest before shaping, forget the towel or wrap on the pan, and use the butter when want the soft crust after baking. Thanks for this helpful information.

I’m so excited to try this ….I love how clearly you explain every step ….you took the scary 👻out of 🍞 bread making ❤

Just made my first ever loaf of bread following your video and it came out perfect and delicious!!!

Wow! Thank you for explaining the process so patiently. Am definitely gonna try this tomorrow. Cheers!

I made bread so many times following this recipe. every time, it comes out perfect.

Love baking this bread!!Baked one for the first time a year ago. Got a couple of busted side seams in the trial and error process, but kept at it. Bread baking is a valuable skill to develop. You never know when there won’t be any bread in the store to buy. You may find yourself in a room full of hungry people where you’re the only one who knows how to do it.

I have been watching many videos in my journey to start making bread. I finally got up the courage to try! I followed your recipe two times in the last three days. The family loves it!!! Thank you for this video! It made it so doable and so non intimidating. Thank you!!

I made this recipe today with my 4 year old daughter and it turned out great! Thanks Rachel, that was a great tutorial. I cannot wait to try out all your other recipes!

This has been the best instructional bread tutorial I’ve ever watched. Like many, even as a senior citizen, this past year has given me time and patience to improve my bread baking endeavors. Thank you so much! I’m using your basic recipe to make rosemary olive bread today. YUMMY!

Best demonstration ever on kneading I have ever seen

I found your recipe yesterday. I can't tell you how many recipes I've sifted through trying to find one that actually worked. I made yours today. PERFECTION! The simplest, most uncomplicated recipe (I'm a novice), yet it turned out the most beautiful, light and fluffy loaf of bread! Airy yet sturdy crumb, it will stand up to any Dagwood Sandwich. And the flavor is divine. I topped mine with Poppy and Sesame seeds. This is my go-to recipe from now on. Folks, you have to bake this bread! Thank you! Marilyn in Arizona

Thank you for giving us precise step by step instructions, tips and end product. Best bread baking lesson ever. ❤️

I'm excited! Mine is rising now. I can hardly wait...Yay! Thank You for sharing not only your recipe, but the video! That was so key to be able to do it with you. Your time is greatly appreciated. I'm sure most of us have no idea how much work goes into recording, editing, setting up and hours of other work you do just to be able to share your knowledge. God Bless You!!!

I made this recipe and loved it , I have now made about 30 loafs to give out in the past 2 weeks , everyone loves it and I have sent 7 of my friends this recipe after seeing my bread loafs, they love it also. Thanks so much for sharing

I started making my own bread a bit over a month now. I bake a loaf about once every 5 days and this is my go to bread recipe. I love it so much. It's simple AND it tastes great. I truly recommend it for people starting to bake bread. It's truly a forgiving recipe. I want to add that if you're doing this recipe for the first time you should definitely cover it up with some foil about 15 minutes in because it browns quickly. The first time I baked this bread I burnt the top because I wasnt attentive, but I just removed the crust and it still tasted great.

30 years old, first time i have ever made bread. AMAZING. My husband doesn't want store bread anymore 🤣😀😀

I made this earlier today it's been out of the oven for an hour... Couldn't wait to try it...it was really good! Thank you so much for the recipe and great video 😊

Wow! Made two loaves today, I substituted honey for cane sugar, and it was perfect. I spent two weeks trying to make bread without success, I stumbled on your recipe and just liked how you explained everything in detail and showed the kneading step.. I followed the recipe to the T ! I now have a recipe I can trust and will be making this weekly ❤ Thank you.

You are such a great teacher! Your tutorial is so informative and easy to follow. I’m going to try your recipe today. YOUR loaf 🍞 looked about perfect! 🥰

I’m so happy I came across your videos while searching for a simple recipe for homemade bread. I love that you are so in-depth in explaining what you’re doing and taking the time to show all the steps. I ended up having a marathon session. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to doing this for us.Regards Evelyn

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE! It was my first time baking bread, and it turned out DELICIOUS! I will be using this recipe over and over! Highly recommend!!!!

Weighing flour is optimal and lots of us in the US does, in case anyone across the pond watches and thinks 😳 lol. I am happy to see more people baking more things from scratch! My hope is more shoppers become ingredient households 👍🏼

Made this for first time! Turned out perfectly and I will definitely be making more in future 🥰

I have been having some trouble with pizza dough after a number of pizzas and I just tried bread and had trouble with it too. I think your video is just what I needed to see all this time. Thank you!

OMG the bouncing dough itself shows how soft and fluffy this bread roll with turn out and it definitely came our as expected. It's just perfect

Ive never made bread before, but I’ve made this recipe 6 times now and each it’s just gets prettier and better. Thanks for sharing.

I just made this for my wife. It's my first time making bread and it came out amazing. Thank you so much!🥳🥳

Love how well you explain everything. I’m gonna try your recipe! Thank you!❤️

Thank you so much just finished making my first 🍞 . I can believe how easy it was. I've always been so hesitant to work with yeast. Thanks to you, you have taken that away.

This was my first time making bread and thanks to you it came out successful I'm so happy right now

This is my second time to make a loaf of bread. The first one turned out a rock but this one comes out perfect. I am so happy. I'll keep using your recipe. Thank you so much for your video.

Thank you so much for posting! I am making this for the 2nd time as the first time it came out perfectly! Your method makes the bread delicious and the steps are very easy to follow. I used regular sugar. You are correct, beginner friendly, thank you.

I just want to say I thank you so much. I've been struggling making bread for years on my own and it did not come out right I followed your simple instructions and my bread came out fantastic. It exactly like yours on the outside but the texture on the inside and outside was good and I just want to thank you for sharing your recipe with me.

I have watched this video like 10 times in the last two days. I am 37 and have never baked a loaf of bread. This was the best video I could have asked for! The way you explain how to let the dough rest and other snippets was SO useful. I made a loaf yesterday that was blah. And tried again today and omg! Soooo yummy. Thank you for this video!!!

Considering making my own bread for the first time. I really like how you not only give instructions but also tell how to "read the dough" to know how well you are preparing it and can make adjustments to your technique.

This look delicious love hard dough bread you are a very good teacher thank you very easy and simple

This bread was wonderful and will definitely make again!

So far it’s looking good ❤ thank you so much for posting this my husband will be thrilled when he gets home in the morning with the smell of freshly baked bread 🥖 love from Canada

Thank you for this recipe! I’ve been practicing by baking a loaf of bread a day because I wanted to become very familiar with it. My family loves it and this is the tastiest bread ever!

Fantastic video! Thanks for explaining all the steps. I’m defo going to give this a try!

Thank you. I am going to try this as soon as possible. If it works for me then I will never be going to buy any more bread. Wish me luck

I love your positivity. I've only tried to make pizza dough in the past and realized I didn't let it rest long enough which was why it was fighting with me when trying to stretch it. Can't wait to try making my first loaf of bread tomorrow!

I have made bread before and sometimes I've been successful and sometimes not. But I want to thank you for this step by step tutorial because now I know what I've been doing wrong!!!I'm going to make some bread using your techniques and tips! Now I understand the process better because of you! Thank you so much!

I m sure going to try this bread recipe love it

You are an awesome teacher! Me and my mom have been so intimidated to try bread but you gave us the confidence, it's on its final rise now!

Tonight I used the same technique then I added cinnamon sugar and raisin with one loaf and cranberry pecan in the second loaf.I didn't add butter to the cinnamon sugar loaf before adding the cinnamon sugar we'll have to see how it turns out.Now that you have given us the right way I'll be making all kinds of breads A huge Thank you

Hi Rachel, I’ve been searching youtube for weeks on a comprehensive video on how to make a simple loaf of bread. Today was my fifth attempt. By far your video, recipe, instructions (how to knead), tips (eggs at room temperature) and in particular, “ What yeast should look like,“ when it cures, was perfect! Although your video may be obvious to most accomplished bakers, as a novice it was beyond helpful. It gave me the confidence and courage to try, yet again to achieve a simple life long quest. Finally, at 65 years old, I made my first real loaf of bread from scratch! I am so proud of myself! Such a silly thing yet so much satisfaction! Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve struggled with making bread for awhile, and so glad I found your video! I got a lot of excellent tips that I hadn’t heard/read before, and I think those really helped. My first loaf is cooling as I type - it looks beautiful, and smells divine. I’m sure it’ll taste like a little slice of yeasty heaven :-)

Just made my first loaf 🍞! Thank you! It turned out perfect!

I'm a complete newbie and not particularly gifted in the kitchen and my loaf came out exactly like this and was AMAZING. just wow. thank you!!!!!

This is by far the best video on bread making i have ever watched. I made bread before and was not understanding what i was doing wrong, but now i know. Thank you so much. You're truly a blessing!🙌

Made this today and the bread turned out very good.!!. Thank you very much

Wow. This was the best demo and live tutorial I have ever seen. I felt like I was there with you working together! Perfect. Enjoyed very much. I differently will try this. 🍞

I just tried it and the bread turned out wonderfully! This is such a straightforward recipe and I like that for the most part I could just follow along with you in the video. And I like that I did not have let it rise for 12 hours. It's something I can start after lunch and be ready in time for dinner.

I am 84 and have always wanted to bake my own bread. I have tried other recipes and they were okay but I will certainly be trying this one. We do not eat a lot of bread, but as it is winter in AUST, I need some good to go with my soups. Thanks I will be going to make this over the weekend.

I made a loaf of this yesterday and I have cinnamon rolls in the oven now. Thank you its delicious

Just made my first loaf of bread with your recipe and instructions. I was amazed that it turned out so well, and tasted so good. Thanks so much for giving me the confidence to go ahead and make my own bread.

I did what I said and made the loaf today. Didn’t have enough bread flour and used regular flour and did what you instructed. First time and it looks just like yours. Thanks again. Even though I was 20 mins away from the earthquakes I kept my eye on the prize. God bless us all

Hello, i made the loaf step by step like you showed us how to and it has turned out exactly as you say. thank you so much i am so grateful. 🙂

Made this bread recipe today to go along with a beef stew we're having for dinner tonight and this is the best video to watch. I have made bread from scratch before and it was an epic fail every thing me but your explanation on how to do this and what to look for really boost my confidence. Taste better than the Nature's Own we buy all the time

We are hoping you and your loved ones are safe and well! Its so comforting to see a new vid posted here! Thank you!

I like this, I can finally make my own bread 🍞 instead of buying it at the supermarket which is to expensive and less healthy.🤣

I've tried to make bread before and failed. I decided to give it another go and found this video. I followed it step by step and in real time. It was great to be able to do that by the way. The result was amazing. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is probably the best tasting bread I've ever had. Obviously ingredients play a part in this (I used high quality flour, etc.) but it must be acknowledged that the teaching did too. What was a revelation to me was the statement "read the food not the recipe!" that made all the difference. Not being confident in my cooking, I sweat over the recipe, but taking on this advice made me relax and trust myself to just monitor the mixture. This means that I didn't stress when I needed to let the mix rest, etc. which were more than double what she said - I'm assuming because the temperature was low. I stuck to that concept of read the food. Right up until the end ... just as I thought the bread was right, it was about 5 minutes too early, I thought "it looks right, but it's 5 minutes too early, I'll just wash my hands and then take it out of the oven". Literally, in that time the top burnt a little bit. But the end result was amazing. Thank you so much. I will bake a couple of more loaves of bread while watching this video until I feel confident to do it on my own. But folks, in my opinion take on board her statement "read the food not the recipe". P.S. I'm having trouble not cutting more slices to eat now. :)

I did your recipe for bread and omg it came out perfect I have tried different recipes and yours it by far the best thank you so much x

Just a quick tip for my fellow newbies ; If you use White Lilly flour, you have to add 2 tbls for each cup of the recipe. For this recipe I used 3 cups + 6 tbls of all purpose flour. This is a great recipe, by the way. Thumbs up !!

Thanks so much for sharing you kept it all simple I’m 70 and I just started making my own breads again and needed a little help God bless you always

I use your recipe all the time and I also use it for cinnamon buns at least every week for bread💕

Reminds me watching my mother making bread growing up. Thank you.

I just made this bread today after watching this video, and I have got to say its the best tasting homemade sandwich bread I've ever made. It really makes a difference doing it all by hand vs using a bread machine or even just using a stand mixer. Excellent recipe, easy to follow instructions, all around this is going down in my cookbook as a winning favorite.

Thank you so much for this video I’m from the Bahamas and have been having a hard time with make bread and rolls but you explained everything with such ease and I have utmost confidence to try things your way.

I'm making this for the second time. My loaf was the best. I'm waiting for this to rise the last time in the pan. Looks good. Thank you

Thank you for all the notes 😁 love when videos explain what is going on, this is how we all learn!

I've made homemade white bread before and my hubby and I enjoyed it so much. I do eat mine about 15 minutes out of the oven slathered with butter. Thanks.

This lady is really awesome, very clear , concise and explained everything in simple, easy to understand language. Very easy to follow. Great video. I've never baked a loaf of bread in my life, but this video just inspired me to order 4 new bread loaf baking pans off Amazon. Going to go to the grocery store tomorrow and get all the ingredients. I'm going to give this a try. Thanks Bread Lady !!!!

As a new homemaker, this has become a staple and comfort food in my home. Thank you 😊 💓

I’ve always used a bread machine to make bread because I didn’t think I could do the kneading and rising right. I followed your excellent step by step directions and my bread is delicious! And this was so easy! I can’t wait to try your other bread recipes.

Made my first loaf of bread watching this! It was perfect! I’m so proud to serve this to my family instead of store bought bread! Thank you so much!

I LOVE the way you explain everything. I love to bake, but I have never done bread. Definitely going to try it! Thank you.

I made this recipe today, it turned out great! This was my second time making bread and considering my first attempt wasn't awesome, I'm very happy. Thank you!
