Ingredients
- 240 ml Whole milk
- 30 g Unsalted butter
- 1 piece Large egg
- 360 g Bread flour
- 30 g Granulated sugar
- 7 g Salt
- 7 g Instant yeast
Directions
Step 1
Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids are added first: pour in the whole milk, melted unsalted butter, and crack in the egg.
Step 2
Next, add the bread flour, ensuring it covers the liquids completely. Sprinkle the granulated sugar and salt on top of the flour.
Step 3
Make a small, shallow well in the center of the flour and spoon in the instant yeast, avoiding direct contact with the liquids.
Step 4
Close the lid of the bread machine and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting. Choose your preferred crust color (light, medium, or dark). Start the machine.
Step 5
Allow the bread machine to knead the dough, let it rise, and bake the bread — a process that usually takes about 3 hours.
Step 6
When the cycle is complete and the milk bread is baked, carefully remove the pan from the bread machine. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Step 7
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy the soft, fluffy texture and slight sweetness of the milk bread!
