Sugar is a functional ingredient, not just a flavoring.

And vegetable oil is transfat. Stick to butter, ghee, or some real oil.

  • Hydrogenated vegetable oils usually contain trans fats, but just “vegetable oil” is a mix of various unsaturated fats. The hydrogenation process is a way of making those vegetable oils into saturated fats, but trans fats are often produced as a side effect.

    I would still go for a bread without sugar. I wouldn't call it bread if it has that much sugar.

    Less sugar, for sure. A quick search came up with a reference card of 7g active yeast to 1tsp sugar. Seems like the amount of sugar in this recipe is too high, not sure if it’s high enough to kill the yeast though.
