Sweet yeast bread is indeed a classic, but still absolutely delicious!
There’s nothing like a nice fluffy sweet yeast bread, best still warm and quite fresh. Because of my intolerances I bake it often at the weekend, and then we have some left over for half the week to eat a slice for breakfast. And I simply exchange sugar with dextrose, butter with margarine and milk with lactose-free milk. Tastes also in the „intolerance“ version still delicious.
Today there is the recipe for a simple yeast bread, but the next few weeks will follow 4 other recipes with yeast dough. Rejoice on it!
