Fluffy Toast Bread from the Thermomix 🥖
Have you ever bought fresh toast bread from the supermarket and thought: "I can surely do better?" That is exactly what you can achieve with this simple Thermomix version. Moist, soft, and wonderfully aromatic – completely without additives! 😍
With just a few ingredients you can create a bread perfect for sandwiches, breakfast toasts, or simply to enjoy plain. The yeast works efficiently in the Thermomix, the dough reliably rises, and the result is as fluffy as in the bakery – if not better. Bonus: You can refine it to your liking, for example with some cream or an egg for extra tenderness.

- Practical: Everything is kneaded in the Thermomix – no sticky hands!
- Time-saving: No long manual kneading, still perfect crumb.
- Tasty & moist: Light, soft, like industrial toast bread, but fresh and additive-free.
- Variable: Adding egg or cream makes it extra tender; you decide the texture yourself.
- For every occasion: Breakfast, sandwiches, kids’ sandwiches – always fits.
- Surprising: The aroma of freshly baked crust is simply irresistible.
Ingredients
🥛 250 g Milk
🧈 30 g Butter
🍬 20 g Sugar
🧂 1 tsp Salt
🍞 500 g Wheat flour (type 550 or 405 also works)
🍞 25 g fresh yeast (or 7 g dry yeast)
Step-by-step preparation
① Warm the milk
Put milk, sugar and butter into the mixing bowl. Warm for 2 minutes at 37°C on speed 2 until the butter is melted. This activates the yeast optimally later.
② Add the yeast
Crumble fresh yeast into the mixing bowl or add dry yeast. Stir for 10 seconds on speed 3 so it distributes well.
③ Add flour and salt
Add flour and salt. Mix for 15 seconds on speed 6 then knead for 3 minutes on kneading speed (Espiga function) into a supple dough. The dough should be smooth, slightly sticky and homogeneous.
④ First rising
Let the dough rest in the mixing bowl for 1 hour until it has doubled in size. Don’t forget to cover – this keeps it moist and lets it rise evenly.
⑤ Shaping and second rising
Take the dough out of the mixing bowl and place it into a greased loaf pan. Let it rise again for 30–45 minutes until the dough fills the pan well.
⑥ Baking
Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the bread for 30–35 minutes until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
Tips & Troubleshooting
🌟 Pro tips
- For extra fluffy toast bread: add 1 egg or replace 50 g milk with cream.
- Do not knead dough too much – the yeast needs to work well.
- Spray water before baking for a tender crust.
