Subsequently, is homemade bread better with water or milk?
Milk changes bread recipes by producing a softer loaf, due to the milk fat content, which also gives bread a richer flavor. Bread made with milk browns more easily than bread made with water, as lactose or milk sugar will caramelize as it bakes.
Likewise, people ask, what makes bread moist and fluffy?
By introducing fat, such as butter, oil, lard or vegetable fat we will get softer results. Fat lubricates and tenderises the gluten to keep it moist and make it chewy. They reduce the browning temperature, which shortens the time it takes for the crust to form.

Do you need sugar in bread?
Sugar is hygroscopic; that means it attracts and holds moisture. Without sugar, moisture evaporates from bread during baking, creating a drier loaf. The more sugar you cut from a sweet yeast bread recipe, the more you’ll notice this effect.
What does butter do to bread dough?
Adding butter (unsalted) or oil (olive or vegetable) in small quantities to bread results in a higher rise, a crisper crust, and a longer shelf life. When fat is added in large quantities, such as for brioche, it results in a softer texture and less volume.
What does adding egg to bread dough do?
Eggs added to dough help with rising. A bread dough rich with egg will rise very high, because eggs are a leavening agent (think genoise or angel food cake). As well, the fats from the yolk help to tenderize the crumb and lighten the texture a bit. Eggs also contain the emulsifier lecithin.
