Equipment

  • Oven
  • stand mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 360 gms All purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 Tsp Instant yeast
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 1/4 Cup Milk
  • 3/4 Cup Water Add 1 tbsp more if necessary

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl of the stand mixer add the flour, yeast, salt and sugar and mix well
  • Now add butter and mix well again
  • Now switch on the stand mixer in minimum speed and slowly add the milk and water.
  • If 3/4 cup of water is not sufficient then add 1 tbsp of water or more carefully and keep mixing the dough in minimum speed
  • Once the dough has come together, increase the speed to SPEED 1 and knead for 7 minutes. At the end of 7 minutes you will get a pliable dough
  • Now, transfer this kneaded dough into a well-oiled bowl, cover it and keep it in a warm place for 1 hr so that the dough doubles in volume
  • When the dough has doubled, take it out, punch it down a little and roll it into a rectangle.
  • Next start rolling it into a cylinder, starting from the short side.
  • Grease a 9*5 loaf tin and transfer the rolled dough into it. Cover it loosely and let it rise again for an hour so that it doubles again.
  • At the end of an hour. preheat the oven to 200C.
  • Apply milk on the surface of the bread to get a beautiful brown colour
  • Bake the bread for 40-45 minutes. Till it starts to brown and when tapped sounds hollow
  • Transfer it to a cooling rack. smear some butter on the surface
  • After 5 minutes remove it from the loaf tin and let it cool on the cool rack completely
  • Slice the bread after it has cooled down completely.

Notes

  • I have used 100% all purpose flour. You can substitute with 50%whole wheat flour.
  • I have used milk for washing the surface before baking. You can choose to use egg wash too.
