Fool-Proof Cup Bread

Fool-Proof Bread...

How fantastic I thought when I saw this recipe... Simply an excellent recipe for a bread-idiot like me... kekekeke... Not being able to bake a proper bread usually, this recipe suits me VERY WELL!!!! lol...

I had came across this recipe from DoDoCook website and this recipe is from Innana.

After work last night, I decided to give this recipe a shot, as mentioned by Innana, she said that these bread were soft and also, the methods were sooooo easy... Not much proofing was needed, just a mere 20 minutes here and there, PLUS, NO KNEADING of the dough... How amazing...!!!

As the bread was baking in the oven, we could smell the lovely fragrant of the bread aroma, lingering around our home.. We can't wait to try them, especially Nic. She told me it smelt sooo yummy...

Yes, indeed they were...

I had baked 2 portion and I had placed them in eight 5-cm cupcake cases. Recipe had stated to put about 70% full but I would think that 50% full is just nice as the batter will proof and would rise quite well while baking in the oven.

My girls loved these cup bread very much, they were really very soft... And having them while they were freshly baked... What more can we ask for. The girls had also packed their share for school tomorrow... :)

These bread maintained their softness the next day too. :))

So if you are a bread-idotic like me, whom do not know how to knead a bread dough well, this recipe might suit you well too.
