Agege Bread- The NΒΊ1 Nigerian Bread

Agege bread recipe, yay, at last! Right?

Agege bread is one of the most popular Nigerian bread, known for its soft, stretchy and chewy texture.

Β Β  In dad’s bakery, bread was made with chemical dough improvers and preservatives such as (Edc 2000, E-281 &E-202). These chemicals give the bread its unique stretchy texture, but are usually sold in large quantity for industrial use.

Dad is now with the Lord, and mom wasn’t so sure of how to get that chewy feel without confectionery additives. So I had to turn to thefreshloaf and Christine’s recipe where I learnt about ”Scalded flour” and ”Tangzhong” .

And after trying them, I can assure you that, these are two of the best natural dough enhancers you will ever find.
Not only do they enhance the dough, they also serve as natural preservatives and keep the bread, soft and stretchy forΒ  3 to 4 days.

Update 2019: For this breadΒ  here , I made use of the β€˜β€˜ Scalded flour” method. But in recent times I have been interchanging it with the ”Tangzhong” method because it is more dependable , no matter the weather condition (heat or humidity).

β€”The picture below are breadrolls made with Tangzhong method-β€”

Makes one 9 by 4 inch loaf orΒ  three 3 by 4 inch(like mine)

Ingredients

For the Main Dough:-

  • 350 gr Bread Flour/Plain flour (bread flour makes a more chewy bread)
  • 30 gr Bread Flour/Plain flour (for kneading)
  • 50 gr Sugar- 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 7 gr instant dry Yeast(2 &1/2 teaspoon)
  • 140 ml lukewarm Water/Whole Milk, adjust as needed
  • 50 gr Butter, at room temperature(cut into smaller pieces)

For the Scalded flour Dough enhancer:-

  • 100 gr Bread Flour/Plain flour
  • 100 ml boiling water
See alsoΒ  Nigerian Food Recipes

Tools:

  • 2 bowls
  • A bread pan
  • A plastic dough scraper

Tip for using milk:

– Milk is not added to agege bread, but since it is a homemade bread, you can add a little to make the bread richer and softer, so if you’ll like to use powdered milk, dissolve 2 heaping tablespoonful inΒ  the 140 ml water used in the recipe.

Β If you’re using evaporated milk(peak milk) add 4 to 5 tablespoonful in 130 ml water.

Β Steps

To prepare the Scalded flour Dough enhancer:

a. Pour all the boiling water into a bowl containing the 100gr bread flour.

b.Β  Stir the mixture quickly until well combined, then cover with a lid or cling film and leave to cool to room temperature(takes about 1 hour depending on the weather).
Don’t worry if the dough looks rough, after 1 hour the flour would have absorbed all the water and look smoother.

Tip: the scalded flour is usually left for 12 hours before use, but I always get the same results if I use it after 1 hour.

Β Now to prepare the main dough:

1. Sift the bread flour into a wide bowl. Add the sugar, salt and the instant dry yeast, and mix well.
Tip: if you’re not sure about the potency of your yeast, you can proof/test it by combining the yeast, water and sugar together in a bowl. Leave for 10 minutes or until it starts to foam, form bubbles and look creamy. Then add it to the flour, but if it doesn’t foam, you know the yeast is bad.

2. Now, make a well in the center of the bowl and pour in the prepared scalded flour and gradually add the lukewarm water/milk; mix together until you get a slightly sticky dough.(

steps for Agege bread

Let the dough sit for 10 minutes, so that the flour will completely absorb the liquid you used.

3. Then transfer the sticky dough, onto a lightly floured table.

Knead for about 20 minutes, using the ”stretch, slap and fold method”(in this method the sticky dough is stretched, folded over itself, lifted up and thrown back down onto the tableΒ  repeatedly until the dough is less sticky and elastic)… you’ll need a scraper to help bring the sticky dough together while kneading.

The dough will be very sticky at first, but keep on kneading, and incorporating as little flour as possible. Too much flour will result in a hard bread. So resist the urge to add more flour.. use the scraper to remove sticky flour from your fingers.

Β 4. Now, knead the butter into the dough for another 20 minutes until well incorporated and you get a soft, smooth and stretchy dough that does not break easily when stretched.

This is surely a lot of work, but one with a benefit.(At this stage you’ll notice the difference in the texture of the dough).

Tip: the oil/butter stops the formation of gluten, that’s why it is added last, after the gluten has been formed.

If you have a dough/ bread machine you can use it. Knead on medium speed for 30 minutes, using the dough hook , until you get a smooth and stretchy dough.

For a food processor, knead forΒ  3 to 5 minutes and check the doughs elasticity every 30 seconds.

5. Form the now elastic dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with a cling film or damp towel and leave to rise until doubled in size(takes about 1 hour or more, depending on the weather).

kneading Agege bread

6.Β  After 1 hour, punch down on the risen dough and transfer to the work surface. Divide the dough into small rough balls.

See alsoΒ  Adalu (Nigerian Beans and Corn Porridge )

I divided mine into 4 (3 for the loaf pan and 1 for my daughter to practice with).

Then cover the balls with a damp cloth and leave to rest for 10 minutes, while you grease the pan you’ll be using.

7. Now shape each of the balls into a long roll and place in the greased pan.
If you’ll like to shape it like mine, then using a rolling pin or your hands(because the dough might be a tad bit sticky), roll out each ball into a long oval shape. Join the 2 sides together;

And pinch up the meeting point, then turn over, so that the seam(closure) is facing down; then flatten with the rolling pin and roll up the dough, just as you see in the pictures below.

8. Place the shaped dough into the pan, cover again with the damp cloth or cling film and let it rise again for another 1 hour or until it doubles in size or almost reaching the top of the pan.

9. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes at 180ΒΊCΒ  (370ΒΊF).10. Finally brush the risen bread with egg wash(raw egg+2 tablespoon water) or melted butter(to give it glow/shine) and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until done(when it is golden brown).

    Please my bread isnt rise

    • September 28, 2023 / 11:34 am

      Hi Olajide, sorry that your bread didn’t rise as expected. This can happen due to several factors.
      Make sure your yeast is fresh, use the right water temperature (around 110-115Β°F),
      knead the dough properly, allow it to proof in a warm, draft-free place,
      and ensure the dough consistency is correct. Additionally, be mindful of
      environmental factors like temperature and humidity.
      And also check your flour’s freshness .
      I hope this helps for your next baking attempt

    Hi Lily,
    Thanks for the recipe. I have a Kitchenarm bread machine and would like to use it for this recipe. Can you please tell me how to modify it? Specifically, should I use the dough or Knead setting, and when to add the butter and tangzhong?
    Thanks again and keep up the great work!

    Amazing! This is the best result I’ve ever had with any Agege bread recipe! I used bread improver the first time but the second time I made the loaf just with thangzhong and a longer rise and it turned out even better! I added nutmeg for taste and slightly increased the sugar to 70g as well as using clarified butter for a more buttery taste πŸ˜‰ and it’s just perfection! I used to own a bakery but have always struggled with sweet breads and this just changed my life ? I’m married into an Igbo family and am German and Greek myself, my mother and sister in law as well as my daughter love this so much! Thank you!!

    Hi Lillian,

    I had never heard of Agege bread until it appeared as one of my suggested videos on YouTube. I watched the documentary and was intrigued. I did a google search and found your recipe. I followed it exactly, weighing my ingredients. Like some commenters posted, the yudane (scalded dough) was too dry with just 100 ml of water. I added a teaspoon at time until I got the right consistency. In total, I used 140 ml of water. Like you said, baking results depend on many factors including the temperature of your kitchen, the brand of flour you are using, and the weather. I used 11.7% APF from King Arthur. I also mixed it in my bread machine. The bread is definitely worth the 30 minutes of kneading time.

    The Agege bread was delicious. Soft, and pillowy and slightly sweet yet able to be used for savory dishes/sandwiches. I expected the loaf to last at least three days, but my family devoured 90% of it within an hour. I just prepared another yudane to make a loaf tomorrow. This time, I will bake it in a covered pullman pan for the traditional rectangular shape.

    Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us. I am exploring your blog and looking forward to trying more of your delicious recipes. Continue the great work.

    Funny thing my comments aren’t getting posted but I keep updating.

    Latest update I learnt a very important lesson today – double is not same. So after a very successful agege yesterday I proceeded to double the recipe today and bake in one big pan. Huge error! At the end of the 30 minutes my beloved bread was raw? so I begin searching frantically and discovered I need to modify baking time and temperature when modifying recipe size. At the end of the day, I lowered to about 165 for an additional 20 minutes. It was yum but not yesterday’s texture but a good different I must admit. Never again sha. If I double I bake in separate pans

    • April 2, 2021 / 2:50 pm

      Just saw your comments in spam.
      Kace, I enjoyed reading through your experiment.
      Doubling the ingredients is not the problem,
      but the baking time also changes and honestly
      some ovens handle large dough better than others.
      I realized that my bread don’t bake so good if
      I am working with a ” double”recipe ingredient and
      using a large rectangular pan. So I stick to using two pans.
      Honey, thanks so much for your updates, and please let me
      know if you try out any more recipes.

    So first try was with 100g tangzhong big error got a batter not a dough tasted like buns. Retried with the scalded flour and guys this is perfect exactly like store bought. Jija is great but I prefer this one

    Thanks Nky Chukwu gozie gi

    • April 2, 2021 / 3:06 pm

      Kace, so you are in the scaleded flour team..hehehe
      I truly want to convince you to try the tangzhong but
      my dear if the scalded flour method works for you, then don’t change it πŸ™‚
      and thank you again for your beautiful experiment and insights too.

    After having success with jija I decided to try this? wanted to make use of tangzhong instead of scalded flour. I made 100g tangzhong and still followed the recipe. Huge mistake I guess the water is too much so I got a batter rather than a dough and it’s rising as I type. I have baked very sticky dough and it turned out great but never a regular bread batter (my keto bread is in batter form). I then googled and discovered batter bread was a thing so I would report the results of my accident. Next time I do 20g tangzhong so I make use of just 100ml water or what do you advise ma’am

    Hi,your recipe is great.
    What if I want to make bread in large quantity with 25kg flour? Does the recipe change? What quantities of sugar,salt,butter and egg do I add? Do I increase the quantity of preserve and bread conditioner that I use?

    Hi, pls is it necessary to cover up the bread pan while baking cos am using a local oven. Thanks!

    • September 2, 2020 / 4:03 pm

      A local oven heats up really fast; don’t cover it for the first 15 minutes,
      then after that you cover with a foil paper or the lid of the pan, so that
      it doesn’t brown so much or burn before the whole bread is done baking

    I had difficulty using this recipe and technique. My dough was too soft. The scaled flour did not look same as above, 100grms flour to 100ml water didnt seem like the right ratio.

    I kneaded the dough with my stand mixer for 30mins, 350grams flour 140ml water made the dough very very soft. It was difficult to shape into a loaf. I might have been able to work it if I was experienced at making bread.

    I made adjustments for the second attempt, 330grams flour to 100ml milk and 35grams butter. For the scaled flour I added a little more water.

    Happy Baking

    • May 5, 2020 / 2:07 am

      Hi Marian, the recipe works just as it it written,
      but with baking a lot of factors are to be considered.
      Humidity, heat ,condition of baking products and a lot more.
      I am glad you were able to make adjustments too.

  18. Raufikat
    January 2, 2019 / 2:58 am

    Hi! I tried this recipe and I love the bread. The only thing is perhaps you need to re-check the quantity of water for the scalded dough and the bread itself. They were both dry and I had to add a lot more. Otherwise, excellent texture and taste! Thank you

    • January 6, 2019 / 9:47 am

      Hi Raufikat, thanks for the feedback.
      As for the water, the measurement is right.
      Did you use the dough enhancer?
      If you did, you won’t need to add more water to your dough.
      But I am glad that it all turned out well for you

      • Raufikat
        January 6, 2019 / 7:41 pm

        Thank you for responding! I did use the enhancer, but what is it supposed to feel/look like? Like a thick batter or a stiff dough? Thanks again

        • January 9, 2019 / 1:19 pm

          It is more like a light but stiff dough and sticky too(I don’t know how best to describe it?)
          If yours comes out too tough, you can add about 25ml water to it and let rest for a while before use.
          I also like to add that weather(bothe heat and humidity) also affect the flour and the liquid content.

          If you find it challenging, I also recommend the β€˜Tangzhong” method, this is easier to work with and gives great results too.
          See the bread rolls I made with it here https://www.nigerianfoodtv.com/jija-bread-rolls-nigerian-pull-apart/
          Hope this helps.

      Nigeria for life,did you even read the recipe?
      If you had, you would have seen all details there.
      Agege bread does not require milk , but most people would be making it at home
      and for their beloved family, and might want to add milk for extra richness
      Adding milk doesnt take anything away from the recipe.
      So feel free to use lukewarm water as indicated in the recipe.

    Hello ma’am, thanks for your recipe.. Please if I may ask, if I use the dough conditioner you used here, I need not use another preservatives for commercial purpose? Or can I use both instead?

    • December 12, 2018 / 9:22 am

      Hello Promise, the dough conditioner acts as a softener and gives the Agege bread that stretchy and soft feel ,
      it also keeps the bread fresh for 3 to 4 days, but for commercial purpose,
      if you want the bread to remain fresh for longer than that
      you’ll have to opt for preservatives.

      No, only yeast can be used for Nigerian Agege bread.
