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.
Likewise, what makes bread soft and fluffy?
Soft bread with a moist, close-knit crumb has an amazingly tender texture. It is accomplished by retaining moisture in the crumb that would otherwise exit during cooling. We can also increase the moisture by using more water in the recipe or adding a tenderizing agent to make the gluten soft and fluffy!

What is the secret to making good bread?
>>It needs to be at the right temperature the recipe asks for. Preheat it for at least 15 minutes. For bread, it’s important the oven to be at the right temperature so the yeast can make the loaf rise enough before the flour set. Placing the dough into a cold oven will affect negatively its rising.>>

Why do you add olive oil to bread dough?
Yes – adding olive oil to sourdough bread will result in a softer crust and crumb. The oil as a lipid coats the flour and inhibits the gluten network resulting in a softer, tighter crumb and softer crust. This can be a desirable outcome if you do not like tough, chewy sourdough crusts.
What does egg do in bread?
Eggs. 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.
What does milk do to bread dough?
In the dough stage, milk increases water absorption. Consequently, dough made with milk should come softer from the mixer than dough made with water. Other aspects of milk in yeast doughs include: Dough may be mixed more intensively.
How can I make my bread more airy?
For a light and airy crumb structure, it is best to use bread flour. The protein content found in bread flour is higher than all purpose flour. When hydrated, protein transforms into gluten so with more gluten available, the dough will naturally hold more gas.
