White flour is refined flour,adding chemicals in
the process to whiten/ bleach it .
In the past,all baking was done with white
flour,but now due to health awareness,there
are enormous expertise baking with other
flours.
Still,we seek for the white flour,as we are used
to the white flour in cakes,bread,biscuits….and
many more to list .
So today’s recipe is a white flour bread .For me
it’s always random measurements obedient to
my sense of touch and eye.
I like ghee,coconut oil,olive oil in bread .
For other recipes like brioche,butter is good .
It was a perfect loaf,so do try your hand at
baking this loaf .
