CHEF JOHN'S WHITE BREAD



Chef John's White Bread image

I mostly eat whole grain breads but occasionally will indulge in some white, which if we're being honest, really is a more special bread-eating experience, especially for sandwiches. The buttery, slightly sweet, but mostly neutral flavor of white bread really lets the main ingredients shine. So, whether you're a nostalgic baby boomer like me, or just a curious millennial 'wondering' what a classic white bread tastes like, I really do hope you give this a try soon.

Time 4h10m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¼ cups whole milk, warmed
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 tablespoons melted butter, divided

Steps:

  • Pour warm milk into a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Sprinkle yeast on top and let dissolve until a few small bubbles begin to a form, 10 to 15 minutes. Add beaten egg, sugar, vinegar, baking soda, salt, cayenne, flour, and butter.
  • Knead on low speed until dough begins to come together. Increase speed slightly and knead about 3 minutes more. Use a spatula to scrape the sides clean and gather the dough into the center. Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Butter a spatula and a loaf pan. Scrape the dough into the pan using the spatula. Smooth out the top to distribute dough evenly. Dust the top with flour and press gently to even out the dough. Let rise in pan for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Use a sharp knife or razor to cut a deep slash lengthwise through the center of the loaf. You may need to go over it several times. Brush the top with most of the melted butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Brush hot loaf with remaining butter. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.

CHEF JOHN'S SOURDOUGH BREAD

Making your own sourdough bread does take a while, but the amount of actual work is minimal--and the bread you'll get is spectacular! See the footnote link to how to make the sourdough starter.

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Sourdough Bread Recipes

Time 21h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

100 grams sourdough starter
250 grams water
8 grams kosher salt
394 grams bread flour
rice flour for bread form (banneton)
1 10-inch banneton (proofing basket)

Steps:

  • Measure out starter into a bowl. Add water, salt, and bread flour. Mix until ingredients are well blended into a very sticky dough. Cover with aluminum foil; let rest 4 hours at 70 to 75 degrees F (22 degrees C).
  • With wet hands, fold dough over on itself 3 or 4 times. Cover with foil and allow dough to ferment for 2 more hours.
  • Generously dust a bread form with rice flour (see Chef's Note for banneton substitution).
  • Scrape dough out onto a lightly floured work surface (you can use bread flour or all-purpose flour). Shape into a ball with a smooth, unbroken surface, using just enough flour on the surface to keep it from sticking. Transfer smooth-side down to banneton. Pinch together the rougher edges of the surface toward the center to smooth them and maintain the round ball shape.
  • Cover and refrigerate 12 hours to slow the fermentation process.
  • Remove loaf from the refrigerator and let it rise in a warm spot until the dough springs slowly back and retains a slight indentation when poked gently with a finger, about 3 to 5 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Dust surface of dough with flour. Gently invert banneton over the baking sheet and transfer dough onto parchment paper. Gently brush off excess rice flour. Score the top of the dough about 1/8-inch deep with a sharp knife to create a shallow slit running across the center. Mist entire surface lightly with water.
  • Bake in the center of preheated oven until beautifully browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Transfer to a rack to cool completely (do not slice loaf while it is still warm).

CHEF JOHN'S MILK BREAD



Chef John's Milk Bread image

Japanese-style milk bread is easy to make and stays moist and fresh longer than your typical loaf of homemade bread thanks to a starter or "roux." It's light and soft with the perfect amount of sweetness. Try it with my Japanese Egg Salad Sandwich (Tamago Sando) or toast it and use it for a tuna salad sandwich.

Provided by Chef John

Time 4h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup bread flour
¼ cup water
⅓ cup whole milk
2 ½ cups bread flour
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
¼ cup white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package instant dry yeast
½ cup warm whole milk (110 degrees F (43 degrees C))
1 large egg, beaten
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, cubed
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Whisk bread flour, water, and milk for starter together in a small saucepan until very smooth. Place over medium-low heat and cook, stirring often, until very thick and just about to bubble. If you want to check, it should be at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). Pull off the heat and transfer into a measuring cup; you will need exactly 1/2 cup. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Prepare dough: Combine bread flour, cooled starter, salt, sugar, yeast, warm milk, and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Beat on low speed until dough begins to form a ball and pull away from the sides of the bowl, scraping down the sides as needed, about 5 minutes.
  • Stop the mixer and scrape dough off the hook and into the bowl. Add butter and knead on low speed until dough is slightly tacky but very smooth and elastic, scraping down the sides as needed, 10 to 12 more minutes.
  • Remove dough from the bowl and shape into a smooth ball. Transfer into a lightly buttered bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Very generously butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Transfer dough to a work surface (you don't need flour.) Press and knead out all the air and shape into a 9-inch wide rectangle. Starting at one 9-inch side, roll dough lengthwise into a log. Transfer log into the prepared loaf pan with the seam down. Press on dough a bit to be sure it's evenly distributed. Cover the pan and let dough rise until it comes to just about the top of the pan, 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Brush the top of the loaf with just enough milk to lightly coat the surface.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the load is beautifully puffed up, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Very carefully remove bread and place on a wire rack to cool all the way to room temperature before slicing, about 1 hour.

CHEF JOHN'S ZUCCHINI BREAD



Chef John's Zucchini Bread image

We're making cake out of zucchini and calling it bread. This is an extremely beautiful and delicious loaf; not to mention super fast and easy to make. In fact, in the business, this is what is referred to as a quick bread.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Zucchini Bread

Time 1h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon kosher salt
4 cups grated zucchini
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously butter two loaf pans.
  • Mix kosher salt into zucchini and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to a strainer and rinse very thoroughly under cold water to remove salt. Let drain for 15 to 20 minutes before using.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, and nutmeg together in a mixing bowl. Reserve until needed.
  • Combine eggs, sugar, and vanilla in another large mixing bowl, and whisk until mixture is smooth and turns a pale yellow, about 1 minute. Grab a handful of the drained zucchini with both hands and squeeze out any excess water before transferring into the egg-sugar mixture. Repeat until all the zucchini has been transferred in.
  • Pour in melted butter and stir until combined. Stir walnuts into the batter, followed by the flour mixture. Use a spatula to mix until the flour disappears.
  • Transfer into the prepared loaf pans. Tap pans on the countertop to settle the batter.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown on top and a skewer poked in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, and then turn out on to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before serving.
