Ingredients
- 530 g Whole wheat flour
- 10 g Salt
- 10 g Instant yeast
- 80 g Unsalted butter, softened
- 350 ml Milk
- 1 large Egg
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
Step 2
Add the instant yeast and mix well.
Step 3
In a saucepan, gently warm the milk to a lukewarm temperature. Ensure it is not too hot as this can deactivate the yeast.
Step 4
Incorporate the softened unsalted butter into the flour mixture using your fingers until the butter is well distributed.
Step 5
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the lukewarm milk.
Step 6
Crack the egg into the mixture and stir until the dough comes together.
Step 7
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 8
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 9
Gently deflate the dough and shape it into a rectangle slightly smaller than the bread pan you are using. Roll it up and place it seam side down in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 10
Cover the loaf pan with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes or until it crowns about 1 inch over the rim.
Step 11
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 12
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 13
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
