🍞 Ingredients:
- 150 ml hot water (approximately 200 ml)
- ½ tablespoon yeast (10 grams)
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 1/3 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
- 220 ml hot milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 cups (600 grams) flour, plus an additional 30–50 grams for kneading
- 100 grams butter (for brushing)
🥣 Instructions:
1. Activate the Yeast:
- In a large bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and hot water.
- Stir gently and let it rest for about 10 minutes until it starts to foam.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Add warm milk, vegetable oil, and salt to the yeast mixture.
- Stir until well combined.
3. Add Flour:
- Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, stirring well after each addition.
- The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
4. Knead the Dough:
- Flour your working surface and transfer the dough onto it.
- Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary until it becomes elastic and smooth.
5. First Rise:
- Oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, and cover it with a clean cloth.
- Let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.
6. Shape the Dough:
- Punch down the dough and divide it into portions as desired.
- Shape the dough into loaves or rolls and place them on a buttered baking pan.
7. Prepare Butter & Final Rise:
- Melt the butter and generously brush it over the dough.
- Cover the dough again and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.
8. Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
9. Last Touch:
- After removing the bread from the oven, brush it with more melted butter for a perfect finish.
🍽 Practical Tips for Perfect Bread:
- Fresh Yeast: Ensure you’re using fresh, active yeast for a good rise.
- Proper Kneading: Knead the dough well to develop gluten, which gives bread its structure and chewiness.
- Allow Time for Rising: Letting the dough rise adequately results in lighter and fluffier bread.
- Watch the Bread: Keep an eye on the bread during the final minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
