Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Whole milk
- 30 g Unsalted butter
- 1 piece Large egg
- 360 g Bread flour
- 30 g Granulated sugar
- 7 g Salt
- 7 g Instant yeast
Instructions
Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids are added first: pour in the whole milk, melted unsalted butter, and crack in the egg.
Next, add the bread flour, ensuring it covers the liquids completely. Sprinkle the granulated sugar and salt on top of the flour.
Make a small, shallow well in the center of the flour and spoon in the instant yeast, avoiding direct contact with the liquids.
Close the lid of the bread machine and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting. Choose your preferred crust color (light, medium, or dark). Start the machine.
Allow the bread machine to knead the dough, let it rise, and bake the bread — a process that usually takes about 3 hours.
When the cycle is complete and the milk bread is baked, carefully remove the pan from the bread machine. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy the soft, fluffy texture and slight sweetness of the milk bread!
