Soft Homemade Milk Bread:

Table of Contents

Ingredients:

    • 1 cup (200 ml) warm water
    • 1 cup (200 ml) warm milk
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 10 g yeast (about 2 teaspoons)
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 30 g butter (about 2 tablespoons), softened
    • 600 g flour (about 4 ¾ cups)
  • 40 g butter (about 3 tablespoons), for brushing

Directions:

    1. Prepare the dough:
      • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
    1. Mix the dough:
      • Add the salt, 30 g of softened butter, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix well until the dough comes together.
    2. Knead the dough:
        • Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour.

       

    3. Let the dough rise:
      • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and leave it in a warm place for 45 minutes or until it doubles in size.
    1. Shape the dough:
      • After the dough has risen, punch it down and let it rest for another 15 minutes. Sprinkle some flour on a surface, divide the dough into your desired shape (loaf or rolls), and place it in a greased baking tray.
    2. Bake the bread:
        • Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Bake the bread for 25 minutes until golden brown.

       

    3. Brush with butter:
      • While the bread is still hot, brush the top with the 40 g of melted butter for extra flavor and softness.
  1. Cool and serve:
    • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm with your favorite spread or as a side dish.
