I did not even deflate the air bubbles, love the holes...kind of artisan look :)
Ingredients
375ml whole milk
100ml cold water
2 tsp fast-action yeast
75g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing the tin
625g strong white flour
25g castor sugar or honey
Scant 2 tsp salt
Oil for kneading
ready to be baked |
Method
1. Boil the milk, let it cool in a large mixing bowl. Stir in cold water to bring down the temperature a bit quicker. When it is gently warm, whisk in the yeast, leave for 5 minutes to dissolve. Melt the butter. Add the flour, sugar and salt to the yeast mixture, pour in the butter. Bring everything into a mixed dough. Cover and leave for 10 minutes. Gentle knead for 10 seconds. Leave to let rise for an hour.
2. Grease a large loaf pan, shape the dough into either to two balls or a rolled-up sausage and place smooth side up in the tin. Leave to rise by half, flour the top, cut a slash down the middle, bake at 180C (160C fan assisted) 350F/gas mark 4 for 50 minutes. Remove from the tin as soon as it's baked and leave to cool.
I also used this recipe and made some Choc chip buns and soft batch rolls. They are all good! |
