Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 15 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 300 milliliters Warm water (about 43°C/110°F)
- 75 milliliters Milk
- 30 grams Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy, to activate the yeast.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture, milk, and melted butter.
Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Lightly grease a clean bowl with oil, place the dough in it, and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough to release air, then shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased loaf pan or shape it into a round loaf and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the dough again with the damp cloth and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Once the dough has risen, place it in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a cooling rack. Let it cool completely before slicing.
