Let's Make This EASY Homemade Bread! | Caribbean Breakfast Ideas | Retirement Life

Have you ever woken up and realized there wasn't a slice of bread in the house? That's exactly what inspired today's recipe. With just flour, yeast, sugar, salt, water, and a little patience, we're making simple homemade bread from scratch—no mixer required. It may not be fancy, but it's soft, filling, and reminds me of the kind of bread many of us grew up making when we had to work with what we had.

Ingredients 500g flour (about 4 cups) 1 tbsp yeast 1 tbsp sugar 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp margarine (optional but helps softness) About 300ml warm water (1¼ cups) Method Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Rub in margarine if using. Add warm water gradually to form a soft dough. Knead 8–10 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour). Shape into a loaf or round. Let rise again for 30–45 minutes. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30–35 minutes. Old-time tip: Brush the hot bread with a little butter and cover with a clean cloth for a softer crust.
