This easy-to-follow guide will help you create this delicious bread in your own kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 300g (2 cups) All-purpose flour/wheat flour
- 200ml (0.85 cup) Milk
- 38g (3 tbsp) Sugar
- 3g (1 tsp) Instant yeast
- 3g (1/2 tsp) Salt
- 28g (2 tbsp) Unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
Instructions:
Start by measuring 200ml of milk. Pour this into a large mixing bowl, then add 3 tablespoons of sugar, and one tablespoon of instant yeast. Mix these ingredients well to incorporate.
Proceed to add 2 cups of all-purpose flour and half a teaspoon of salt into the milk yeast mixture. Start the initial mixing with a spatula to form the dough. Once the dough starts coming together, knead it with your hands until everything is well combined.
Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
After the rest period, remove the dough and place it onto your work surface. Flatten the dough and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Fold the dough to enclose the butter and knead it.
Continue kneading the dough until it becomes smooth. Once the dough is well kneaded, shape it into a round ball and place it back in the bowl. Cover it and let it rise for an hour.
After the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl and deflate it gently. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
Shape each dough piece into a round ball and place them in a baking pan that has been lightly greased with butter. Cover the pan and let the dough rise again for an hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 356° Fahrenheit (180°C). Bake the bread for 25 minutes or until it achieves a golden brown top.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and brush the top with some additional butter. Let the bread cool down before serving.
This Perfect Breakfast Delight – an eggless, fluffy milk and butter bread – is best enjoyed fresh, paired with your favorite spreads, or as a side for your favorite breakfast dishes. Its soft, fluffy texture and delicate buttery flavor make it a comforting and satisfying breakfast option. Happy baking!
