📝 Ingredients

• 420 g Bread Flour / Maida
• 2 tbs Milk Powder
• 1 tsp Instant Yeast
• 225 ml - Water
• 1 1/2 tbs Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbs Oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a bowl mix together flour, milk powder, salt, sugar and yeast.
2. 2Add the oil and water and mix to form soft and slightly sticky dough.
3. 3Transfer to the counter and dust it with flour.
4. 4Knead 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. 5You can also knead the dough in a stand mixer for 7-10 minutes.
6. 6Oil a bowl and place the dough inside.
7. 7Rotate the bowl to coat the dough with oil.
8. 8Cover with cling wrap and set aside for 1 hour to 1 1/4 hours or until the dough is double the size.
9. 9Now transfer the dough back to counter and press it to form a square.
10. 10Roll the dough like a jelly roll.
11. 11Pinch the dough for each roll until you finish rolling the square.
12. 12Pinch ends and place the roll seam side down in a greased 8” by 4” by 4” loaf pan.
13. 13Cover with cling wrap and set aside for 20-30 minutes or until the dough is almost double in size.
14. 14Preheat oven to 225°C.
15. 15Remove the cling wrap and bake the bread for 30-45 minutes in oven.
16. 16If the bread seems to be browning fast, place an aluminium foil on top of it to slow the browning.
17. 17Once the bread sounds hollow to tap, remove it from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes on a wire rack.
18. 18Gently use a spatula to release the bread from the sides of the tin.
19. 19Flip it to release the bread from tin.
20. 20Let it cool on wire rack.
21. 21Slice it with a long serrated bread knife only when it is completely cool.
