Milk Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup water
1 egg
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
In a small saucepan, warm the milk, butter, and water until it reaches a temperature of around 110°F (43°C). Make sure it’s warm but not too hot.
Pour the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them in a greased loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush the top of the dough with beaten egg for a beautiful golden crust.
Bake the milk bread for 25-30 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
