Flaxseed meal is a plant-based alternative for binding.

Combine milk, water, and egg in a cup and beat until well combined, then set aside.

In a mixing bowl, add sifted bread flour, nutmeg, salt, sugar, and yeast, ensuring yeast does not contact salt directly.

Add soft butter to the dry ingredients.

Use a stand mixer to mix the dough, gradually adding the wet mixture until desired texture is achieved.

Knead the dough in the mixer for about 15 to 20 minutes until stretchy and not sticky.

Oil the mixing bowl, add the dough, cover with cling film, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Knock out the air from the risen dough and divide it into two loaves.

Flatten each piece of dough and roll it into a log, pinching down the seams to prevent holes.

Transfer the shaped logs into a buttered and floured baking tin, seam side down.

Cover with cling film and let rise until doubled in size, about 40 to 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius.

Place a pan of boiling water in the oven to create steam for soft baking.

Bake the bread for about 25 to 30 minutes, checking smaller loaves at 20 minutes.

Brush the hot bread with butter for a shiny finish.
