HOW TO MAKE EASY, SOFT AND FLUFFY MILK LOAF BREAD

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a subtle flavor.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + powdered milk

Almond milk is lower in calories and suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener with a unique flavor.

bread flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Add 2 teaspoons of sugar to warm milk and sprinkle yeast over it, cover for about 10 minutes to activate.

In a bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, mix well.

Add the activated yeast mixture, 70 grams of melted butter, and 1 whole egg to the flour mixture.

Mix until a soft, sticky dough forms that doesn't stick to your hands.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until stretchy and soft.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 35 minutes until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough to release air, then roll it out and cut into pieces.

Shape each piece into a loaf and place in greased baking pans.

Cover and let rise again for about 25-30 minutes until doubled in size.

Prepare an egg wash by mixing 2 teaspoons of milk with the egg.

Brush the loaves with the egg wash before baking.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (about 350°F) and bake the loaves for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
