Ingredients
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 300 ml Whole milk
- 60 g Unsalted butter
- 30 g Granulated sugar
- 10 g Salt
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 50 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Step 3
Add the cooled milk and butter mixture to the flour mixture. Slowly add the water and mix everything together to form a rough dough.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
Step 5
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Step 6
Gently punch down the dough to remove excess air and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Step 7
Shape the dough into a loaf by flattening it into a rectangle, then folding the short ends into the center and rolling it up tightly.
Step 8
Place the loaf seam-side down into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover the pan again loosely with a damp towel and let the dough rise until it reaches the edge of the loaf pan, about 45 minutes.
Step 9
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 10
Once risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped and the top is golden brown.
Step 11
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Slice and enjoy this wonderfully soft and sweet pain de mie with your favorite spreads or make delectable sandwiches.
