Ingredients
Makes 1 LOAF
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 5 tbsps. unsalted butter
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsps. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsps. instant yeast
Method
- Heat the milk just to a boil in a small saucepan over medium high heat
- Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until melted
- Add 1/2 cup cold water to the milk
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl if kneading by hand)
- Add the milk mixture and mix to combine
- Switch to the dough hook (or turn the mixture onto a lightly floured surface) and knead for 8 minutes, until dough is elastic
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and turn over to coat the top
- Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2-2 hours
- Lightly grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan
- On a lightly floured surface, press the ball of dough into an 8 x 12-inch rectangle
- Starting at a short end, fold it into thirds, as if folding a letter
- Repeat again, tucking in the ends of the loaf
- Place the dough seam side down into the pan and cover loosely with buttered plastic wrap
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm place above the edge of the pan until it has doubled in size and will spring back slowly when poked with a finger, about 1-1 1/2 hours
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
- Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown
- Turn the loaf out of the pan onto a wire rack to cool before slicing
