    • 3 tbsp (45g) unsalted butter, softened

    • Olive oil, for brushing

      • Fat: 3g
      • Fiber: 1g

     

    • Sodium: 150mg

    How to Make Easy Sandwich Bread

    Step 1: Activate the Yeast

      1. In a small bowl, combine:
          • 2 ¼ tsp (7g) dry yeast or 25g fresh yeast
          • 1 tsp sugar

         

        • 2/3 cup (160ml) warm water

        Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. This activates the yeast, creating a frothy layer on top. If the mixture doesn’t froth, your yeast may be expired

     

    Step 2: Mix the Dough

      1. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine:
        • 4 cups (500g) bread flour
        • 1 ½ tsp (7g) salt

     

    1. Slowly add the activated yeast mixture, followed by ¾ cup (180ml) lukewarm milk and 3 tbsp (45g) softened butter.
    2. Knead the dough using a stand mixer with a dough hook or by hand. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. It should pull away from the sides of the bowl but remain slightly tacky to the touch.

    Step 3: First Rise

      1. Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough inside.

     

    1. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.

    Step 4: Shape the Dough

      1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air.
      2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled surface. Flatten it into a rectangle, with one side roughly the width of your loaf pan (9×5 inches or 23x13cm).

     

    1. Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the shorter side. Pinch the seam to seal.

    Step 5: Second Rise

      1. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with oil. Place the rolled dough seam-side down into the pan.
      2. Cover again with a towel and let it rise for 45-50 minutes. The dough should rise just above the rim of the pan.

     

    Step 6: Bake the Bread

      1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
      2. Brush the top of the dough lightly with olive oil. This helps create a golden, slightly shiny crust.
      3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

     

    1. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

    Here are some variations and tips for your Carrot Walnut Cake:

    Add-ins: Consider mixing in some crushed pineapple, raisins, or shredded coconut for added texture and flavor. You could also add some grated ginger for a spicy kick.
    Nut Alternatives: If you want a different nut flavor, try using pecans or almonds instead of walnuts. You can also leave out the nuts for a nut-free version.
    Spices: Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom to enhance the flavor profile. A pinch of allspice can also add a warm depth.
    Frosting: For a delicious twist, top the cake with cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk. You can also add orange zest to the frosting for a citrusy touch.
    Healthier Options: Substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition. You can also reduce the sugar slightly or use honey or maple syrup as a natural sweetener.
    Storage: To keep the cake fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze slices wrapped in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil for up to 2 months.

    To store your Carrot Walnut Cake properly, here are some tips:

    Room Temperature: If you plan to eat the cake within a few days, you can store it at room temperature. Make sure to place it in an airtight container to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
    Refrigeration: If you want to keep the cake for a longer period, you can refrigerate it. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or place it in an airtight container. It should last about a week in the fridge.
    Freezing: For even longer storage, you can freeze the cake. Wrap individual slices or the whole cake tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can last up to 2 months in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.
    These methods will help keep your cake fresh and delicious!
