How to Make Moist Milk Bread

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and instant dry yeast. Let it rest for a few minutes until the yeast activates.

Add the egg and mix well.

Gradually add bread flour and salt while mixing until a dough forms.

Add the room-temperature butter and knead until the dough becomes smooth, soft, and elastic.

Step 2: First Rise

Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl and cover it.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Step 3: Shape the Bread

Punch down the dough gently and divide it into equal portions if desired.

Shape the dough and place it into the 23×23 cm baking pan.

Cover and let it rise again until puffy and airy.

Step 4: Bake

Preheat the oven at 175°C for 20 minutes.

Bake the bread at 160°C for approximately 20 minutes, or until the top becomes beautifully golden brown.

Oven temperatures may vary depending on the oven model, so adjust the temperature if necessary.
