"Easy to make and tasty, this #baloonbread recipe is the ideal alternative to bread!" commented The Cookist, who uploaded the video on how to create the balloon bread. The post described the procedure of creating the balloon bread as follows: "Just combine flour, warm water, warm milk, oil, and dried yeast." You will be dumbfounded as a result of the outcome.”
