1

Sift the flour to break up lumps and make it lighter.

2

In a bowl, combine 1 spoonful of sugar with yeast and warm water, stir, cover, and set aside for 10 minutes to proof.

3

Add sifted flour, remaining sugar, butter (cut into small cubes), salt, nutmeg, evaporated milk, and the egg into a food processor or large bowl.

4

Add the proofed yeast mixture to the flour and other ingredients.

5

Knead the dough for about 15 minutes in the food processor, stopping intermittently to prevent overheating.

6

Oil the surface and rub it in, then place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

7

Punch down the dough to release air, divide into two portions, and shape one into a larger loaf.

8

Roll and tuck the ends of the larger loaf, then place it in a bread tin lined with parchment paper.

9

For the second portion, divide into three pieces, roll them, tuck the ends, and twist them together before placing them on the baking tray.

10

Cover the shaped loaves and let them rest for 10 minutes before baking.

11

Preheat the oven for 10 minutes, then bake the loaves until golden brown.
