Salted Butter Spread For Bread


My husband loves spreading salted butter on bread. Yet, today we only had unsalted butter in the fridge. So I made this spread by myself. It’s very easy to make.

Soften butter you need in a small bowl. Sprinkle some salt, a little mixed herbs and garlic powder. Then stir and blend them well.



It tastes great. My husband loves it more than salted butter. I saw his eyes light up when he had a bite of bread with this spread. ๐Ÿ™‚

Easy Breadย 

Actually, the orinigal recipe is for hotdog:

http://m.xiachufang.com/recipe/100550638/

Ingredients:

Bread flour 300g

Warm water 100g (original recipe said 37 – 40 degree C.)

Yeast 2 tsp (original recipe said yeast powder)

Sugar 10 g

Egg 1

Melted butter 25g

Salt 1/2 tsp

1. Add yeast into warm water till foam shows up. ( I followed it, but I didn’t see any foam. Maybe the temperature of my warm water was not high enough. But I still moved on).

2. Add melted butter and egg mixture into yeast water and stir well.

3. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar and salt.

4. Add yeast water into flour. Fold flour into a big dough. (Original recipe said kneading for 10-15 mins) I kneaded it for around 15 mins.

5. Put dough in a large bowl, cover it with lid or plastic wrap till it becomes 2 times big.

6. Divide it into several small pieces and make it into shapes you like. (Original recipe said let them relax for 10 mins. But I forgot, so I skipped it).

7. Put them in the oven with a large bowl of hot water under the baking pan till they become 2 times big.

8. Preheat oven to 180 degree C. Bake for 20-25 mins.

They are perfect match for soup.
