Ingredients

  

• 2 cup of milk
• 200 grams butter
• 6 Tbsp sugar
• 1 yeast package
• 1 cup warm water
• 3 eggs
• ½ tsp salt
• 6-7 cups of flour

Instructions

 

• Dissolve yeast in 1 cup lukewarm water with 1 tsp sugar. Set aside to proof
• Scald milk by gently heating it then add butter until melted
• Beat 3 eggs in a bowl with sugar and salt.
• Add this to cool milk then add yeast. Remember if milk is too hot it will kill the yeast.
• Add flour in 1 cup portions and knead either by hand or mixer.
• The exact amount of flour will vary slightly but the aim is a smooth elastic dough, like a baby’s bottom. If using a mixer, a sign the dough is ready when it comes away from the side.
• Kneading bread is something that takes practice so don’t worry if it doesn’t come easily. No one is perfect at first!
• Once kneaded, set the dough aside in a warm area to let it rise. It’s ready when the dough size has doubled, 1-2 hours, then punch it down and shape it a loaf or rolls. Let rise a second time until loaf size.
• Cook in 180 C oven for 30-35 mins. To be honest, setting a cooking time will depend on the size of loaf or shape. Just watch it and when it is golden and springs back it’s ready.
