Preparación

1. 1

   In a bowl mix together flour, milk powder, salt, sugar and yeast.

2. 2

   Add the oil and water and mix to form soft and slightly sticky dough.

3. 3

   Transfer to the counter and dust it with flour.

4. 4

   Knead for 10 minutes until the dough passes the window pane test. When a small portion of the dough is stretched, it should become a thin film without breaking. It should be thin enough so that light can pass through it.

5. 5

   You can also knead the dough in a stand mixer for 7-10 minutes.

6. 6

   Oil a bowl and place the dough inside.

7. 7

   Rotate the bowl to coat the dough with oil.

8. 8

   Cover with cling wrap and set aside for 1 hour to 1 1/4 hours or until the dough is double the size.

9. 9

   Now transfer the dough back to counter and press it to form a square.

10. 10

    Roll the dough like a jelly roll.

11. 11

    Pinch the dough for each roll until you finish rolling the square.

12. 12

    Pinch ends and place the roll seam side down in a greased 8” by 4” by 4” loaf pan.

13. 13

    Cover with cling wrap and set aside for 20-30 minutes or until the dough is almost double in size.

14. 14

    Preheat oven to 225°C.

15. 15

    Remove the cling wrap and bake the bread for 30-45 minutes in oven.

16. 16

    If the bread seems to be browning fast, place an aluminium foil on top of it to slow the browning.

17. 17

    Once the bread sounds hollow to tap, remove it from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes on a wire rack.

18. 18

    Gently use a spatula to release the bread from the sides of the tin.

19. 19

    Flip it to release the bread from tin.

20. 20

    Let it cool on wire rack.

21. 21

    Slice it with a long serrated bread knife only when it is completely cool.
