There were certain flaws in the appearance though but i guess for a first time it is perfect.
I was so carried away by preparing this bread that i forgot to take step by step pictures.Hope to click them next time.....:)
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Low fat milk
1 tsp Active dry yeast
3/4 cup Warm water
21/2-31/2 cups Bread Flour
11/2 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 1/2 tbsp Butter or margarine
Method:
Place Milk,Sugar,salt and butter in a small saucepan on low heat.Heat until the butter melts and sugar dissolves.Cool this to luke warm.
Dissolve yeast in warm water.Add lukewarm milk mixture and yeast mixture and 2 cups of bread flour in mixer bowl.Attach Bowl and spiral dough hook to the mixer.Turn the mixer to speed 2 and mix for about 1 min.
Continuing on Speed 2 ,add remaining flour,1/4 c at a time and mix about 1 1/2 minutes,or until the dough starts to clean sides of the bowl.Knead on Speed 2 about 2 minutes longer,or until dough is smooth and elastic.At this stage dough will be slightly sticky to touch.
Place the dough in a greased bowl ,and turn the dough to grease the top.Cover it and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until double in volume.
Punch the dough down.On a lightly floured surface,roll the dough into a rectangle.This rolling will smooth out the dough and remove gas bubbles.
Starting at the shorter end ,roll the dough tightly.Pinch the dough to seal seam,and turn under.Place seam side down in the loaf pan.let it rise for another hour or until double in volume.
Pre heat oven to 400 degrees F.Bake the dough at 400 degree F for 30 min.,or until golden brown crust.Remove from the loaf pan and cool on wire racks.
Note:
- While the bread is cooling ,brush the top with little melted butter for extra flavor and taste.
