U no sabi make bread too
Akpos come back here.


As for that bread, everything was ok but it refused to rise.
Weather too cold. I suppose put am inside warm place so e go rise. As the thing refuse, na so I bake am like that.
Don't know which name to call it

Also, prove your your yeast in warm sugar water before using it.

Ensure you use warm butter, warm water and warm egg (room temp) to make your bread

It came out just fine.
Thank you so much ❤️

The kneading took time though and the base of the bread came out crusty, don't know if that can be fixed by using baking sheets

Awesome!
I'm so glad this came out well. I'm very sure you will do better next time.
I love bread like kilode

mariahAngel:
Wow!
I've seen it, and I'm proud of you!

What did you use to curd the milk? Citric acid?
What are you going to make with it? Pizza?

You could be a major producer of cheese in Nigeria you know?

Thanks
I used white vinegar and few drops of lemon juice...this was where I made mistake..the vinegar was too much, hence it "over curded". Since the milk was freshly harvested today, it will curd with little vinegar. I've learnt my lesson though.

Yes. I will try pizza for the first time and maybe a signature cookie.

Yes o

mariahAngel:
OK.

Let me know how it turns out...

Hello

I tried it this evening! It came out fine. However, it was not perfect but definitely worth it. I will mention you when I post it in my diary

mariahAngel:
Hi Akposy...

I wanted to ask you about the bolded, then it skipped my mind.
Did you try it with fresh cow's milk?

Good evening.

I tried it twice with the normal fura da nunu (without the fura & sugar) sold by these Hausa women. It didn't work.
After my research, I discovered that the fura they sell is processed (high heated).

However, I ordered #300 freshly squeezed cow milk from one of these sellers. I'll pick up and try tomorrow

Tadeknkeepcalm:
Amazing. Looks really delicious.

I would be sure to follow your steps next. I guess I still have a lot to learn. You're a true chef sir.

I would let you know how it turns out. Thank you so much for your time sir

Thanks you too

mariahAngel:
Nice recipe Akposy.
I knew you'd be of help.

Thanks

Tadeknkeepcalm:

Wow. What a boss.
My mum talked about the yeast probably dying too.
I've never had "proof" used in this sense. Thanks for educating me.

I will let you know how it turns out in my next melee.

Proof is a culinary term

Here's my recipe:
2 cups flour
½ tablespoon yeast
½ & ¼ cups warm milk or water
3 tablespoon sugar
3 - 4 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 egg
Pinch of salt
½ teaspoon nutmeg.

Proof your yeast using the sugar and warm milk/water. Check my earlier post for the steps
Add egg and the other ingredients to the proved yeast
Mix till they come together
Transfer to a floured surface and knead till the dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover in a warm place for about an hour or till it double it size. I cover mine and place under the sun.
After 1 hour, you'll notice the dough has doubled its size. Deflate with your fingers.
Transfer to a floured surface. Cut, knead a little and shape as desired.
Cover and allow to rise for about 30 mins.
After 30 mins, egg wash (use a brush to coat the dough)
Baked in a 180 degree Celsius preheated oven for about 20 - 25 mins.

Be careful with flour. Don't use excess

Attached is a picture of my sardine bread (Before and after). Ignore the cinnamon rolls

I think there are so many errors with your bread making.

First, did you prove that yeast before using it? There are different kinds of yeast (Instant & Active dry yeast are the common ones). The ones you see them use in those online videos are Instant yeast...they don't need proofing. You can add directly to your ingredients.
For active dry yeast which is common in Nigeria, you have to proof it. This is how you proof your yeast; Assuming the recipe requires ½ tsp yeast, ½ and ¼ cups of milk or water and 3 tbsp sugar...here's is the step to proof:

If using water, mix your powdered milk with warm water (not too hot, your pinky finger should be used to test its warmness)
Add in your sugar and mix together.
Sprinkle the yeast over the sugar/milk water.
Cover with a lid or towel and allow to sit for 10 - 15 mins
After the said time, you will notice that the mixture is frothy (it foams kind of).
If the mix is not frothy, your yeast is dead! Get a fresh yeast.

Yeast are fungi in resting stage. The essence of proofing is to make them active/check if they are active.

I'm tired of typing jare

mariahAngel:
First of all, your write-ups are always hilarious!
Secondly, never give up on your dream.

That said, the problem could be with the proportion of your ingredients...

Did you add too much fat (margarine/butter) to the flour?
Did you use enough yeast?
How do you measure your ingredients?
Too much fat could be the culprit...it weighs heavy on the dough and pulls it down

Akposy, what do you think is wrong with op's situation?

@Op, Don't give up on baking o...it gives the best feeling ever!

The OP wan kill me with laugh

OP should understand that we all fail to succeed one day. This is the true source of happiness.

Please I would like to ask a Professional question.

Between Irish Potato and Sweet Potato which is the easiest to Cultivate and which has the better market?

Can you kindly mention the Pros and Cons of Cultivating each?

They are both easy to cultivate.
Market depends on your location.
