Ingredients
- 360 grams All-purpose flour
- 25 grams Granulated sugar
- 8 grams Salt
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 240 milliliters Warm water
- 30 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 30 milliliters Milk
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Gradually add the warm water and milk to the dry mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
Step 3
Add the softened butter to the dough. Knead the dough by hand on a floured surface or using the dough hook of a stand mixer for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 5
Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide it into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a mini loaf and place them into greased mini loaf pans.
Step 6
Cover the mini loaves with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise again for about 30 minutes until they slightly puff up.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake the mini loaves on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 8
Remove the loaves from the pans and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
