Soft Vanilla Milk Bread

Ingredients :

– 230 ml of lukewarm milk 

– 1/2 tablespoon of sugar 

– 8 grams of dried yeast 

– 1 egg 

– 8 grams of vanilla sugar 

– 1/2 teaspoon of salt 

– 400 grams of all-purpose flour 

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, mix the lukewarm milk, sugar, and dried yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg and vanilla sugar together. Add the salt and flour gradually, mixing well after each addition.

3. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and combine until a dough forms.

4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

6. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

7. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

8. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until it’s golden brown.

9. Remove from the oven and let it cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Soft Vanilla Milk Bread! 

Tips:

– Make sure the milk is lukewarm, not too hot or too cold, to activate the yeast properly.

– You can brush the loaf with melted butter before baking for a shiny crust.

– Customize your bread by adding toppings like seeds, nuts, or dried fruit before baking.

– Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep the bread fresh for longer.
