Just made a small PayPal donation to say thanks.
I've never given money to a TH-cam creator... but I've made an exception. You've improved my quality of life, by enabling me to make this lovely food/bread/rolls.....
So, thank you...thank you very much !
I'd urge anyone reading this, to go ahead and make John's recipes ... they work...rock solid....and so delicious !
Incredible donation Jools, I have emailed you a thank you, very kind.x
Hi Everyone, sorry I haven't added or answered any of your comments over the last few days as I'm recovering from major surgery, I should be able to get back on track over the next couple of days, thanks for your patients.
John Kirkwood hope you're feeling better! Prayers for a speedy recovery!
Get well soon.
Only seeing your comment now John... Hope you are doing well now.
God bless you and thanks for sharing your knowledge in a very simplistic way.
Thanks caoimhin o scollain I'm well on the mend thank you.
This looks awesome, can't wait to try! BTW your baguesttes came out awesome. Thanks for the great vids (and bread) ;)
Hoorah I made it. Well, I screwed up, but it came out terrific. NEVER DROP THE PAN AFTER THE SECOND RISE. The beautifully raised dough collapsed on me., just like a souffle. I had two choices, I could let it rise again, or put it in the oven and bake it as is... I made the wrong choice. I baked it as is. And YET!!!! it came out EXCELLENT. I thought it would end up like a piece of lead, but it rose in the oven, While not as high as I would have liked it, the bread came out light and delicate like any white bread on the store shelf. And I was using AP (Or as the Brits call it, 'Plain"} flour. No changes in the recipe. Thank you John Kirkwood for a foolproof recipe.
One thing my brother and I loved from warm crusty freshly baked bread - was cutting in whilst still warm and having butter melted through it. Absolute bliss! In fact half the loaf was gone before our parents even realised 😋😋
John should be a story reader. Listening to this to help me sleep. So relaxing lol
Maybe one day Martin. But at the moment I'm too busy in the kitchen. 😂👍😋Thanks for watching my friend. My latest video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Farmhouse sandwich loaf profoodhomemade.com/farmhouse-sandwich-loaf/
I am so pleased that I found your youtube channel. I am a bit late to the party, being a complete bread making novice and failed miserably recently with two recipes from two different sources, I was about to give up making bread after both very poor attempts. Even wondering why, at my old age of 75, why I wanted to persevere! But then, in my dogged determination, I decided I would try a third time to produce a bread that I would be proud of before I went back to the bought bread mix in the bread machine.
Well your “Sandwich bread made easy at home” video, which sadly had no written recipe, but your patient, detailed step by step process was what I thought would be the one! So, with pen and pad in hand, I rewatched and rewatched your video, frantically taking notes, then I wrote out the full detailed recipe.
Our -4 degree celsius winter day was certainly a challenge, so I increased proofing times, kept everything warm, even using my electric throw wrapped around the bowl and the pan during proofing 😊 and, my oh my! I managed to produced the most perfect loaf of bread! 👏👏👏 Thank you so very much from the Australian Snowy Mountains for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I am now a huge fan!🤗
Welcome aboard my friend, and thank you for supporting the channel. I'm so pleased you gave it a try and it turned out well. Here is my latest video recipe. Steak-n-ale-pies

Well done Dee! It's a wonderful feeling when you can at least produce that perfect loaf. I did the same as you- tried a few recipes that were so-so. Followed John's exactly and perfect result every time. This is now my go-to for bread, I don't buy shop-bought anymore.
I've been making bread for 20 years. People love it but I've never been happy with the end product until TODAY! ! I've just made the best loaf of bread I've ever made and most importantly I'm very happy with the end result. THANK YOU JOHN KIRKWOOD!!
Thanks for watching Carpe, much appreciated. Very kind, thank you 😃😉👍.

Me too CarpeDiem my daughter said only yesterday the bread hits the spot every time and it was a day old the bread, its delicious. Im losing the plot with Sourdough bread thats a whole new level of stress for me 😅
John’s voice is so comforting, I watched his videos while visiting the dentist today!
I can’t wait to try this recipe.
Hope you enjoy H, thanks for watching much appreciated.
Every video I watch makes me want to run into the kitchen to try it myself.
The tutorials are so easy to follow, the tone is always helpful and encouraging, I love this channel.
Aww, that's so kind, Elaine. Thank you for watching my friend ❤️ much appreciated,
John, I have never in my life, made a bread this soft and delicious. I consider myself a pretty good cook and baker, but my one downfall has always been breads, and that has frustrated me! I want to thank you for your amazing tutorial and guiding me through….I made the best bread I ever had - I think it has everything to do with the correct hydration, which I have NEVER realized before. So now, I will watch each of your videos to learn more! Thank you very much Chef!
Fantastic M, I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well.
Hello John I have only just discovered you and now that I’ve finally found someone that can actually deliver material that is easy to understand and that works I’m not letting you go. Thank you your an excellent teacher.

My dear johnn, here in Argentina is 00.30 at night, and instead of going to sleep, I'm going to prepare this delicious homemade bread. God bless the internet. Thanks for sharing your experience.
You're very welcome Gonzalo, good luck with the bread and thanks for watching.
John always makes me feel good! His voice is so soothing and then voila! You have bread! It's just the best!

Thank you for watching, pleased you enjoy the video's.
Very useful video for home bakers, nobody does it quite like John Kirkwood. The dutch oven recipe's are incredible too!
John,
I sure enjoy watching your videos and thankful you take the time and effort to share your skills. I purchase very little premade foods as I like to know what I'm eating, plus the satisfaction I get as I enjoy cooking. I even grind my own meat from primal cuts! You explain everything so eloquently and calmly, and keep it as simple as possible. The world needs more people like you. BLT's for dinner tonight and yes, I cure/smoke/slice my own bacon at home.
Thank you for your kind words my friend.
i just made your bread in the mixer omg john it was the most delicious bread ive ever had , this was the first time i made it and have to say it was amazing tku so much, Im waiting for your profiteroles xxxx Im so glad you showe dthe yeast test i did that will two boxes and low and belhold i had a full tin but it was open and it was dead threw it away tku so much xxx hope you get well soon
Thank you. Yeah we had 2 main sayings in our work/commercial kitchens, No1 "Always test the yeast! before you start the recipe" 👍 No2 was "Kitchen pickers! wear big knickers" 😂👍.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade lol kitchen pickers wear big knicker its been 30 odd years since ive heard that old saying your video always reminds me of my childhood which tbh makes me happy living in a foreign country, Your video keeps us going and i look forward to hearing you and your tips cant wait to see the éclair one theres so many tops ive learnt like the yeast test and to let the bread prove an inch higher than the bread tin which is invaluable advice xxxx
Hey, Mr. K! 😀 I have never seen such complete, well-explained instructions, in my 50 years of baking! And, I love the science behind it all, so very interesting. The shower cap - Brilliant! 💫 I haven’t made bread in 30 years, but after watching your videos, I’m going to start, again. Thank you, so very much, for the inspiration. 🍞🥖

I baked this bread for breakfast today. It was a huge success! 30 minutes after it is baked, sliced it, spread some butter and sprinkled a bit of sea salt on one of my slices, just heavenly. 2 adults and a kid ate half of it at breakfast, that good. Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation and the perfect measurements.
Nice job AE, pleased you and your family enjoyed the recipe.
baking instructions this detailed thourough are hard to find!
thank you john, i loved it and cant wait to try it out myself

John, after about a year and SEVERAL loafs, I finally hit the motherload with this week's loaf!!! Absolutely perfect. A soft baked crust and warm soft interior that was perfect for sandwiches and French toast. Thanks again!!!
Thanks again for watching Pat, great work my friend.

I made this yesterday and it came out perfectly. Thanks for explaining and showing everything so clearly.
Very pleased for you Karl, and thanks for watching, much appreciated. :)
John! Made this last night. Got to bed at 11:00pm. The aroma in the Ho,e was awesome and the taste was amazing. Thanks much!
Glad you enjoyed it Michael, thanks YOU for watching my friend.
Made this last night, it’s very good! This and your French baguette recipe were the first things I made with my new stand mixer and I will definitely make both again! Thank you!
Thanks again for watching AB.
John, I thought of you today and wanted to say a big THANKS! Yesterday afternoon I baked your loaf for my younger brother and his wife. They loved it! This a.m. I opened my bread wrapper and there were only TWO slices of my store bought bread left! I am now able to knock out your bread in 2 hours, like you said! Yes, I made another loaf today for my sandwiches and for my wife for her toast. Just a sincere thanks to your video! Keep 'em coming, please. We love your bread.
You're very welcome Pat, pleased you found the recipe useful, now you'll have to be adventurous and try some of my other bread recipies :o) 33% wholewheat step by step baguette video coming soon, you should like this one, it'll be up in a couple of days :)

Made this for the first time, and it was just as easy as you showed. In trying it, it was light and fluffy! I’ve already shared your site with several of my friends throughout Sicily Italy and the USA. BRAVO
Thanks for watching and sharing the channel Sam, much appreciated my friend.
Another triumph John! Made this last night; none left by 11am this morning and there's only 2 of us in the house☺️. Just in the middle of making the Farmhouse loaf, I doubt it will last any longer! You are an excellent teacher as well as a cook, thank you 😊

Made the bread, looked just like yours, hooray! Tasted great, even made ABLT, note the A, avocado of course, and lightly toasted the slices. I made my own mayo, with extra virgin olive oil from the county next to mine and a healthy splash of Cholula hot sauce. Had a nice bottle of Calaveras County red, a Tempranillo, with the sandwich, ended up a little toasted myself. What we call California living!!! Life is good! Keep up the great work, thanks...

I MUST say that both my husband and I watched your TH-cam tutorials of beef stew w/dumplings, roast spuds and various breads and TOTALLY LOVED every minute of it. Gordon Ramsey eat your pants dude, you're THE BEST. Ta for your quick yet full "lessons" and your tips were GENUINELY ace. The BEST I tell you xx
Thanks for watching Tori, much appreciated, Very kind thank you.
I just received your bread book and tried this loaf. I usually use a bread machine set on the dough setting and then bake it in a regular oven. I put in the ingredients in the order that bread machines like (liquids in the bottom, then dry ingredients, then yeast on top). I buy instant SAF yeast in a block and keep it in my freezer. I then put a small amount in a small container in my fridge and use from that for my bread. I have never had dead yeast using this technique. Bread came out of the oven looking great! It is cooling now. I substituted whole wheat flour for 1/3 of the flour. Can’t wait to taste it! I have made all my own bread since 2015.
Fantastic Judy! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and I hope it turned out well.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade It turned out great! I put it in the freezer because I had some other bread I had to use up and had it in a sandwich today. It was nice and soft, as promised. I want to try your sandwich buns next. I have tried many recipes and have always reverted to buying them at the grocery, as I have not liked any of them. I'll let you know. I have some other buns to use up. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this. I was very pleased with my first loaf using your recipe and techniques. The only difference is I used all purpose instead of bread flour. But the loaf came out very well. Nice, light texture. Lightly browned but still cooked. We had done warm with butter and it was very tasty and had a great mouth feel.
My wife and I agree that it's going to be a very good sandwich bread or toast. Might be time to reconsider store bought bread. As you said, it only took a couple of hours, and most of that was waiting. I work from home and this is the perfect bread that I can make while still doing my day job.
I can't wait to get some fresh yeast and bread flour.
Thanks again for watching John, yeah you really need proper bread flour mate, you'll see a vast difference in the loaf.
Followed your recipe and method for this bread. The best bread I have ever made. Thank you John you are the king of bread.
Thanks for watching Bob, much appreciated. Well done Bob, proud of ya mate.😃😉👍.

John, This is excellent! I almost gave up learning to make bread before your videos. I had never seen oven rise. All I was making were inedible bricks. I feel like your bakery apprentice.
Thanks again for watching poche12651 as always much appreciated.
Years ago I made enough bread bricks to make book ends, door stops, paper weights, and we talked about building a house with my bread. When I ever figured out the yeast was dead, I was happy. That was 40 years ago, and even though I bake bread all the time, I have learned a lot from these videos.
John, is a wonderful teacher, if you have any doubts, he explain everything in a easy ,soft,calm way that everybody ,can understand,
That's very nice of you Michael. thank you.
OMG 😮 I have baked 4 loaves using this recipe and all I can say is belissimo 😘 I’ve been baking bread for years and it’s not a patch on this. Well done I’m so pleased I stumbled across your channel. P.s and very informative too to say the least. Absolutely love 💖 your videos thanks for sharing x

Hello there John Kirkwood. Sherie again. Beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon here in Brisbane, made even better with the smell of the bread I made, using this recipe. I'm in heaven. Thank you so much for all your recipes. If you get tired of me writing to you, Mrs.Kirkwood and yourself could adopt me. 69, well trained and probably eat too much bread. Bye for now. Hope you are all well. Sherie Rodrigues 🧡
😂 🤣 😂 Thanks again for watching Sherie. ❤

You are the Bob Ross of bread.
High praise indeed, one of my all time heroes :) , thanks for watching, much appreciated.
I agree about the Bob Ross of bread. I don't even need to make the bread. Just enjoy the video........
Bread Ross
Thank you, John. I thoroughly enjoy ALL your breadmaking recipes. I am waiting on the first proof 🎉
Glad you like them!
I made this, and it was incredible! I still can't get over how beautiful the bread looked and how it amazing it smelled! I've been baking so much from your videos, that my friends are starting to want to bake too because how easy you make it look/how I can even do it as someone who doesn't bake much. HIGHLY recommend this recipe to all viewers, the bread is UNREAL
So kind Jacqueline, much appreciated my friend.
I have tried perhaps six sandwich bread recipes. Some requiring a mother , some requiring lots of butter and milk. They were all ok.
I must say , once again, thank you for the recipe and instructions. I made this loaf two days ago. It was not difficult and produced excellent sandwich bread. I will now add this , along with your other recipes to my “ go to “ list of yumminess. Thank you again ( as I type this , the final proof for Ciabatta rolls is occurring. They are so great I was forced to make a double recipe. :)
Thanks again for watching Mike you are a gentleman sir👍😃😉 .
I made this today John and it's perfect! I'm so pleased! Thank you so much for your clear and detailed instructions xx
You are so welcome!
Hi john, several months ago I bought your books. Well I finally got round to making the sandwich bread from book one. I made one mistake I put 450g of flour in instead of 430. Despite this the bread turned out great. Now to put this in to prospective. Over the years I have tried to make bread, every time it was a disaster. you have rekindled my desire to make more. As an ex pat now living in Florida good bread was hard to come by, not any more, thanks to you.
Nice job Ian, hope you try the other 59 bread recipes on the channel 🤣😋👍 here is the playlist of all my bread recipes, and there are many more other good old English recipes on the channel too, from desserts to full meals. th-cam.com/play/PLUISvii9kE48PCHhfGE2ZJ3BmfZlCU36V.html
Fantastic pizza recipe coming soon too 😋👍
As previously stated I made this bread with success, I have since made a couple of batches. My wife loves it so we have decided that I am going to make on a regular basis. So my question to John is if I double the recipe do I double the yeast? FYI I joined a facebook group and posed this question. some said yes some said maybe, some answers went way over my head. So is there a simple answer yes or no?
I also appreciate your calm soothing voice! Thanks for your videos, ( sharing yourself with us)
Thanks again Kelly.
Hi John, I'm a John too, I used to make bread weekly, thirty years ago, and am just getting back in. I've killed about three "sourdough starters", don't start in the winter, I've made a couple loaves well, just baked your "baguettes" yesterday, first time with such, and they came out beautiful, light and fluffy, crispy on the out, and I'm making bread for dinner tonight, with my daughter and son in law. I've long made one loaf, by "division", in cups, teaspoons, but this is the first time doing it with grams, and I expect to have more "equal" outcome, I really like weighing, because it matches with humidity and such better. I only hope my loaf comes out half as nice as yours, this afternoon. I've been using my "mixmaster" always did by hand before, and am shocked at how easy it is, with the mixer. I love your technique, I've kneaded for decades, and it "makes" the bread. Thanks for a great recipe, and excellent technique, bringing me back to doing it right. Your British accent makes it that much more enjoyable, I'm a retired mechanic, Marine, I try not to get the dough too dark, lol. Thanks for a great video.

My go to bread - just took two loaves out of the oven - thank you John !!!!
Nice job Rebekah.
I made it this morning. Followed video recipe. Got a very nice loaf. Took me closer to 3 hours because my kitchen is at 20-21C. Thanks.
Once again thanks John, my first attempt at this was a little disappointing but by the second attempt I had mastered this following your very useful and excellent videos, the loaf tasted great and I look forward to trying your other recipes, I am going to have a go at the crustless quiche today.
Fantastic Craig. Thanks for watching my friend. My latest video recipe Chicken Balti curry and Pilau rice. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Chicken Balti curry and Pilau rice. profoodhomemade.com/chicken-balti-curry-with-pilau-rice/
Made this just now. Right from the start i was on fhe wrong foot - not enough flour, then i messed up oven temp, had to go out and fetch a parcel and dogs got out. BUT following as closely as possible amidst the disasters the loaf still turned out FAB! Great stuff John. Off for a rest oh and a bit of bread.
Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well.
John, thank you so much for all the detailed tips you include! I am a newer subscriber to your channel, and an experienced cook, trained mostly by my grandma - your tips are so helpful and I especially appreciate you showing manual and other techniques since any person could be in either situation (I have!) at any given moment - these are priceless life skills. Thanks much!
Awesome, thank you!

@John Kirkwood it's now been 4 years since I started my baking journey after watching one of your videos. I now bake my own bread, make my own recipes, and very rarely buy store bought bread! THANK YOU!
Made this loaf today after making fruit loaf a couple of days ago. Turned out perfectly, used to make my own bread but got out the habit. Thanks for the inspiration to get back into baking.
Nice one Ian. well done mate.
I found your video when it was first uploaded and I'm still baking bread for my family (they love them over store bought)!
I have bread tins but I prefer the traditional round bread with scoring :) seems extra special that way.
Thank you for the video and your descriptive steps!
Thanks for watching Elaine, much appreciated. Got lots more bread video recipes on my channel Elaine.👍😉😃

Just now pulled these out of the oven and they look great! I used the calculation method you taught us and made a 1000 gram recipe that yielded 2 large loaves; I made sure to start a bread cook-book of my own so I don't forget and this is the first recipe in along with the calculation instructions. TY for the amazing tutorials.
Nice one A, excellent work, Thanks for watching my friend.
So informative!! I feel lucky to have found this channel!

Hi again John. I’ve been following you for a while now and made several of your bread recipes and they have all been fantastic. This is the first time I’ve made this sandwich bread and it was absolutely fantastic. Definitely my favourite xx
Fantastic Mary! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well. Thanks for watching my friend. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Fruit Scones. profoodhomemade.com/fruit-scones/
I just want to say that this bread is absolutely awesome. I just let mine rise sitting on the oven instead of putting it in the container in the sink, but it still turned out absolutely awesome! Love your videos!
Thanks for watching Andy, much appreciated. Very kind, thank you my friend 😃😉👍.

Oh John. Your recipe is absolutely wonderful! I’ve never made bread before and I wish I could upload a picture of my loaf - I’m that pleased with the results! Thanks for taking the time to make this video :-)
Thanks again for watching Beautifly119, there is a few ways you can post your images my friend, go to the about page on the channels website, from there you can use a choice of social media platforms, and my email address is there too, here's a link to the website Beautifly119 profoodhomemade.com/home looking forward to your future images.
Thank you John for the tips with the yeast. I've just made 2 loaves and they haven't risen as much as i expected . I added the dried yeast to the flour, so I won't be doing this again . I will definitely prove the yeast first. Thank you for explaining so easily to follow. You have such a kind fatherly voice which is so comforting in these times.
Thank you for your kind words Ruth. 😁👍

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade thank you John I’ll certainly follow that up. By the way I have your bread making book and it’s a wealth of knowledge.the videos are a great help when I can see you in action. God bless you and your family
Hey John 👋🏻 I just made it and it’s just wonderful, thank you so much for your recipes and lessons I’m always enjoying watching your videos, thank you so much.
Nice job Black Rose, you are very welcome my friend.
Bread baked, delicious. Didn’t rise as much as your loaf but I put that down to neighbour popping in and leaving door open when it was second proving in tin, but no matter, I’ll simply make another in a few days as it’s the best recipe and the nicest texture and taste that I’ve ever baked. Many thanks 👍
You'll get better with practise Catherine, but great job anyhoo.
I tried that rsecipie and it came out so good that it will be baked very regulary at my home. Thank you.

Thank you John. I found you recently while looking for a little refresher as I haven't baked bread for years. So I had a bag of bread flour in the freezer from 2011. Defrosted for a day and made a loaf similar to your sandwich loaf and it turned out wonderfully. About 30 years ago, I got a bread machine and followed the instructions but the results were miserable. I used the ingredients list from a sliced loaf instead, with no milk, wet or powdered and the bread came out of the machine reasonably pleasant. So I decided to experiment and settled on grapeseed oil as it had no flavour, sugar, yeast and salt as above, and adjusted the flour water mix until I got really good bread - by allowing the bread maker to do the hard work, keep the dough warm and to rise. I knocked it back, put the dough in a normal tin, waited till the second rise and baked a perfect (my opinion I know) loaf. So, I am looking forward to making a massive mess with flour and water, and make some of your other wetter receipts - ciabatta first I think. Thank you for real bread, entertainment better than TV (I gave up on that in 2006 and saved my licence fee) and what a plethora of cooking and baking ideas you have given me and the rest of the world.
Thanks for watching Tom, much appreciated.
For anyone wanting a few written steps, I used the following with my stand mixer:
Take the ingredients as listed:
430g / 15.2 oz of Strong White Bread Flour
245g / 8½ oz of Warm Water 40°C / 104°F
20g / 1½ tbls of Vegetable or Olive Oil
7g / 1 heaped tsp of Active Dried Yeast
10g / 1½ tsp of Kosher Salt or 8g / 1 tsp of Table Salt
6g / 1 tsp of Granulated Sugar
Then:
Knead 10 minutes
First proof 30 minutes
Knock back
Shape and place in tin
Second proof 30 minutes, somewhere a little warm
Heat oven to 160c (fan assisted)
Sprinkle flour
Bake 10 mins
Turn 180 degrees
Bake for a further 20 minutes
Remove from tin and cool on a rack
ENJOY!
(Feel free to edit and use in description if you like John!)
Thanks my friend.
I've made this twice now...utterly superb ! Soft and fluffy....nothing like the crap out of a bread machine... this is delicious bread ! I used a big wok, to hold the bread tin..the curved surface of the wok allowed a gap between the water and the tin.....then covered it with a bowl of the same diameter....
There's nothing like making home made bread, that tastes and looks like bakery bread :) life changing really...can't thank you enough ! Hope you're enjoying your holiday :)
All the best........
Very kind Jools, much appreciated.
Love all your recipes John. FInally, mastered sour dough thanks to you. I want to make a 3lb loaf with this sandwich bread recipe . Could I half the recipe and add it to the full recipe to do this?
Thanks for watching Sue, much appreciated. I've done the conversions for you, only 2 ingredients stay the same, the yeast and sugar.
645g / 23 oz Strong White Bread Flour
367g / 12½ oz Warm Water 40°C / 104°F
30g / 2 tbls Vegetable or Olive Oil
7g / 1 heaped tsp of Active Dried Yeast
12g / 1½ tsp Salt
6g / 1 tsp Granulated Sugar
Hi John. Just to say i have just used this recipe to make homemade pizza, and have to say it's my best ever. The crust was so light. I split the made mixture into 3 after leaving to rise in the usual way and have frozen 2/3 of it. It makes 3 x 12 inch pizza's. Marvellous. This is now my one and only pizza dough recipe. Lovely. Thanks again.

John You Are The Best Thank You Buddy
Thanks again Mark, and thank you for watching mate.
Best explanation for bread making I have encountered so far. Will go through all your videos. Once again thank you. You deserve all the best.
Thank you so much 🙂 here are some bread making rules to follow.
1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results.
2. Use digital SCALES for all of the measurements including weighing the WATER, IN GRAMS, NOT FLUID OUNCES, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. try to use bottled water if possible. Tap water contains chlorine, and in certain areas it is higher than others, which will weaken or even kill the yeast.
3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread.
4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here th-cam.com/video/HWpSbYV96_c/w-d-xo.html
I made this John! Turned out wonderful! It didn’t look as pretty as yours. But tasted great! Once I master this one I’ll move on to another kind. Maybe the ciabatta!
If I wanted to add some herbs and maybe some garlic, how would I do that? Do you have a video?
Yes Tifani, use dried herbs and garlic powder, try a tsp of each at first then adjust to taste for the next loaf, hope this helps.😉👍😃
Best recipe I have tried. Delicious, especially toasted. I used my stand mixer to do the kneading as my old hands are a tad athritic. While this loaf was cooling I went to Argos and bought an electric slicer. Happy days..😁
I made this today using a Pullman loaf tin. Another perfect loaf and no danger of oven spring welding itself to the elements in my Sage Smart Oven. I know this video is 4 yrs old but I can't see past this perfect recipe and tell every one who will listen, about how good it truly is.
Sounds great Rose, well done.
Hi John, I was going to post my comments on your latest great video, but this is where it's relevant.
I hate you! (Only joking, read on...)
This recipe works fantasticly well and I have been making it every other day for the last few weeks. I have to, family won't touch the sliced stuff anymore!
First one didn't work out very well, it was quite dense and just about 'ok'. Similar to my previous efforts. Toasted, it was a struggle to eat the following day.
Second one I left to rise for a lot longer in the tin (tip here: use the timer as a guide, it may well take twice as long) until it looked like yours, and omg, wow!
Having made this a dozen times now, this is an absolute keeper. I know how to "tiger crust" it, but to be honest, for a general purpose sandwich/toast loaf it is a winner as it is.
So now I have to spend a couple of hours a week to keep making this. Arghhhh 😉🤣
But a huge THANK YOU JOHN, it definitely gets the thumbs up from us 👍🍻
😂🤣😂👍 Thanks George, now get cracking on the pitas, Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the website, Pita Bread profoodhomemade.com/pita-bread/
After a disaster caused by dead yeast l searched for info on what went wrong and found your channel, I followed your recipe exactly, the result was fantastic, thankyou so much.

Hello John, this is great bread. I make a loaf to this recipe every Monday. It is so good but for some reason, after I put it in my electric toaster the bread has a strange texture, It becomes close-grained with an almost brittle finish, it's as though the gluten melts. I know you'll say it's about accurate measurements but please be assured I am meticulous when following any of your recipes. I was given a sandwich at a friend's house recently and was surprised to discover it was made from a Waitrose Soft White Medium Sliced. Can I make such bread at home? What is the secret to making a white loaf that's perfect for toast, please?
Hi Bill. I've never really had a problem when toasting the bread. Also mass produced store bought bread has a lot of other ingredients to keep the breads shelf life longer and to keep it soft.
Hi Bill, I make this bread all the time and after 3 days on the counter I slice and wrap each slice individually with saran wrap and freeze in a freezer bag. Take out a slice at a time for toasting or thaw out for sandwiches. Hope this helps. Works perfect for me.
Hi John I have been baking the 100% wholemeal no knead loaf for a few months now and so I decided to try this sandwich bread for a change. My first try today and it is delicious, thanks to your easy to follow tutorial. We no longer buy bread as it is such a pleasure to bake it. Many thanks John and best wishes.
Thanks Graham, I'm pleased you're enjoying the recipes, another plus to baking your own bread, you know exactly what's in it,👍😉
Thank you for the videos and the tips, John. A couple of queries: What if I want to substitute the strong bread flour with whole wheat one for a healthier choice? Would the amount of water be the same or the ratio change? Also, what is the hydration ratio that applies to other breads -is there any guidance on that?
Thanks for watching Panos Hountis, much appreciated. Very kind comment thank you. No buddy not with this recipe, but you can try my wholewheat loaf here instead, th-cam.com/video/e1fA_Dq8IGM/w-d-xo.html

John, hope that you recover from your "health issues" - - but - - I baked your Sandwich bread last weekend, and had the most difficult time converting the British measures to U.S. (even though you DID provide them and despite the fact that I convert these measures frequently). The result?? A great loaf with a crunchy crust. I was not wild about the results though - so I made it again with the old Kitchen-aid. You were RIGHT! Two and a half hours, and I had a wonderful loaf. I could FEEL the air bubbles popping (the first time for THAT in over 40 years of baking) after the first proof and I could hear them as well. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO!! (your butter recipe is also fantastic!!). More videos please!
+Pat Teeling
Thanks for watching Pat much appreciated. If you use grams there's no need to convert as grams are the same across the board, no confusion or ambiguity.
Very pleased it all worked for you. Thanks again Pat.
I made this bread and
1. It did not rise as much as yours and I used a brand new yeast to make it
2. The bread crust was chewy
I think it's because I left the top heating rods on.... I have an otg
(Oven Toaster Grill) and it works with some heating rods at the top and bottom...
Thanks again for watching Caleb.
I’ve made a few of John’s recipes since stumbling across the channel a few months. I’ve very little experience in the kitchen but found John’s recipes easy to follow. The bread has got me stumped though, mine just doesn’t rise in the oven. It doubles in size on the first proof, and rises on the second (although not quite as much as in the video) but once in the oven it doesn’t really get any bigger. Tastes absolutely fantastic though!
Thanks for watching Graeme, much appreciated. Check out the 4 main bread making rules below, see if you can improve anything (no pun intended). But the first thing you should try, is to use bottled water instead of tap water, the chlorine in tap water severely weakens the yeast.
1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results.
2. Use digital SCALES for all of the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate.
3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour.
