Take 275 grams of bread flour and 20 grams (or 2 tablespoons) of milk powder. Sift them into a dough kneading bowl. Sifting makes the flour light and airy, giving the bread a soft texture while blending the milk powder evenly. If you want a creamier flavor, add a bit more milk powder. • Step 2: Preparing the Wet Mixture • In a bowl, combine 80 ml of full cream milk, 1 medium-sized egg, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of condensed milk, and 10 grams of sugar. Whisk it until smooth. Condensed milk adds both sweetness and a rich, milky flavor. If you prefer slightly sweeter bread, add another tablespoon of condensed milk. • Step 3: Mixing and Kneading the Dough • Fix the dough hook to your mixer and start kneading on low speed. Slowly add the liquid mixture to control the dough’s texture. Adding liquid gradually helps adjust for different flour types, preventing it from becoming too sticky or too dry. If it looks dry, add a splash of liquid; if it’s sticky, let it knead longer. After 4-5 minutes, when the dough starts coming together, we’re ready to add salt and butter. Let’s keep going! • Step 4: Add Salt, Butter, and Yeast • Sprinkle in the salt and knead for 2 minutes to incorporate. Gradually add softened unsalted butter, kneading for another 4-5 minutes until fully absorbed. Next, mix instant yeast with a small amount of warm water to form a paste. Add the yeast paste to the dough and knead for another 5 minutes. Adding yeast later prevents the salt and butter from interfering with its activity. It also avoids early fermentation, which is especially useful in summer to prevent over-proofing. Perform the windowpane test: stretch a small piece of dough; if it doesn’t tear and light passes through, it’s ready! • Step 5: Resting and Shaping the Dough • Let the dough rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten. Divide it into three equal parts, roll each into a smooth ball, and place them side by side in a baking pan. If you prefer, shape the entire dough into one big loaf and place it in the pan. Cover with a towel and let it proof until doubled in size. For the best proofing, keep it in a warm place or an oven with the light on and a bowl of warm water nearby. • Step 6: Baking the Bread • Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Brush the top of the dough with milk for a golden, glossy finish. Bake for 30 minutes. • Step 7: Cooling and Slicing • Slice the cooled bread to reveal its soft, fluffy texture. The slight sweetness and rich milky flavor make it truly special. Trust me, your kids will ask for this bread every day! • Best Tips for Making Bread in winter and summer:- • • Keep the Dough Warm: Keep the dough warm by proofing it in the oven with the light on, placing a bowl of warm water nearby. • • Extend Proofing Time: Dough may take longer to rise in colder temperatures. Be patient and let it double in size, even if it takes extra time. • • In winter, butter may be too firm to incorporate easily. Soften it beforehand to room temperature to ensure it blends smoothly into the dough. • • In summer, the dough can warm up quickly during kneading, which may over-activate the yeast and create a strong yeast smell. To avoid this: Control dough temperature by using cold liquid, or even adding a few ice cubes to keep the dough cool during kneading • • Adding yeast after kneading most of the dough helps prevent over-activation, especially during long kneading times in warm kitchens. • • Always aim for soft, smooth, and slightly tacky dough during kneading. • • Perfect bread takes time. Whether its winter or summer, don't rush the process—good bread is worth the wait! • • Rising times can vary greatly depending on temperature. Focus on the dough doubling in size rather than sticking to a set time. • more bread recipe:- • • PANETTONE !!
