Agege bread: Easy step by step guide for beginners(Detailed)

This appealing, mouth-watering, easy-to-make at home bread will burst in your mouth with soft buttery sweet flavor. Agege bread is well known in the street of Nigeria. It pairs well with butter, yam egg sauce, stew etc. It can be used as sandwich bread as well.

Dry Ingredients:
6cups(720g) of bread flour
3/4 cup + 2Tbsp(180g) of sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon powder (optional)
5 tsp(~2sachets) of active dry yeast

Wet Ingredients:
12 ounce (1 1/2 cups) warm Milk (2% reduce fat/ full fat)
4 Tbsp melted butter
2 Tbsp oil of choice
1/2 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar
2 eggs

MISSING STEPS (not shown):

-Combine the apple cider vinegar, remaining warm milk, melted butter, oil together
-lightly beat the eggs and set aside
-create a hole in the sifted dry ingredient and add the proof yeast and above two steps mixture
-Mix together until well combined. (I used a wooden spatula but hand/ mixer on low speed will work)

-mine usually bake for 35-40minutes

Tips:

1)Proof yeast per yeast packet instruction to help jump start the rising process and/or confirm if it is still active

Mine usually get to this point between 10-15mins.

4)Do not over flour the work surface to prevent hard bread.

5) Apple cider vinegar is optional but it is recommended as it helps yeast work better and acts as a preservative. Vitamin C powder/ vinegar is a substitute)

6) Store in the fridge and reheat in the microwave when needed.

7) You can eyeball the size when dividing the dough to be put in the cans.(i do that most times)

8) The warmth of the milk should be like that used to shower.

9)If you think you've over-kneaded the dough(possible from using mixers especially stand mixer), try letting it rise a little longer before shaping it....the longer rise can get the dough to relax a little.

10) The tent will prevent over browning and hard dry crust

You're not even listing out the ingredients for us.

[funlovessing]

Please what is in that spray bottle you sprayed inside the bowl ?

Why do you have egg? Agege bread doesn't come with egg tho. Or why did u choose to use it

[tessa_xx]

You didn't cut the bread so we see if it's soft inside ... thanks for the video but bye

Bad teacher, most of the ingredients is not listed how do learners know what to include. not well detailed. And with the horror sound It’s a big no for me
