BREAD WITH MILK AND BUTTER

by

1. Activate the Yeast:

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

2. Warm the Milk and Butter:

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3. Combine Ingredients:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
  2. Pour the activated yeast mixture and the warm milk mixture into the well.
  3. Stir the ingredients together until a dough forms.
  4. Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.

4. Knead the Dough:

  1. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  2. Knead the dough for about 5-8 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

5. Let the Dough Rise:

  1. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat.
  2. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

6. Shape the Dough:

  1. Punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles.
  2. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.

7. Let the Dough Rise Again:

  1. Cover the loaf pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30-45 minutes until it’s puffy and has risen slightly above the rim of the pan.

8. Bake the Bread:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until it’s golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

9. Optional: Brush with Butter (for added flavor and shine):

  1. Remove the bread from the oven and brush the top with melted butter, if desired.

10. Cool and Serve:

  1. Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Slice and serve your homemade bread with milk and butter!

Enjoy the soft and flavorful slices of bread made with milk and butter. This bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoying with a spread of butter.
