This is my 2nd time making bread using the oven. I like Happy Home Baking’s blog. She has a lot of bread and cakes. However, my bread is different from hers. Not so soft and the crust is hard. I didn’t really make the dough using hand but with my breadmaker.
Ingredients : -
150g bread flour
150g cake flour
5g active dry yeast
3g salt
125g milk
1 egg
60g caster sugar
50g butter
(1 egg, beaten, for glazing)
Method : -
-
Put all ingredients into the pan of the breadmaker except butter.
-
Set to “Dough” function and stop it after 10 mins.
-
Add in the butter and set the function to “Dough” again (1-1/2 hrs).
-
Take out the dough. Test it whether the dough has been fully proofed, press a finger into the dough and withdraw quickly. It should leave a deep impression and spring back very slowly.
-
Punch out the gas produced. Let the dough rest for 15 mins.
-
Divide the dough into 60g portions. Arrange dough in a greased pan. Rest for another 15 mins.
-
Brush the top with whole egg mixture.
-
Bake for about 15 mins in a preheated oven at 190 deg C. Remove from the pan and cool on the wire rack.
