Instructions

  • Warm the milk very slightly and let it reach lukewarm temperature. Add the yeast and sugar and stir. Let the yeast sit for 8-9 minutes until frothy. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour, salt and the yeast-milk mixture. Mix on low speed for a minute, or so, untill the dough just comes together. Add the softened butter to the mixture and continue mixing, and add the water a little at a time. After kneading, test the dough by stretching it a little. if the dough doesn't tear and is translucent when stretched, the dough is ready to be proofed. Let the dough sit in a bowl covered by a dish cloth for around 90 minutes. After the dough has doubled in size, take out the dough and knead with your hands on a greased counter-top for 5-8 minutes. Keep a rectangular baking dish ready by brushing it with softened butter. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place all 12 rolled dough portions into the baking dish, leaving space between the portions. Cover the tray with a dish cloth and let it sit for 40-45 minutes. Preheat your oven to 180C. After 40-45 minutes, the dough would have risen and is ready for the oven Brush the top of the dough with a little milk mixed with melted butter. Bake the dough in the oven at 180C for 20-25 minutes until the top of the bread is golden brown. Once done, take out the tray and brush the tops with some more melted butter and serve warm.
