Baobab milk bread

By Aaron Menezes
Makes 1 loaf
Easy
20 minutes, plus 1 hour’s proving time
35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 500 g bread flour
  • 1 t salt
  • 1 T sugar
  • 1 t instant dry yeast
  • 1 3⁄4 cup full-cream milk
  • 50 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 free-range egg, whisked with 1 T water or milk

Method

1. Place all the ingredients except the butter and egg into a mixing bowl, and knead in a stand mixer at a low speed for 5 minutes. Gradually add the butter until incorporated, then knead for a further 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the mixer, cover with a cloth and allow the dough to prove for 1 hour.

2. Place the dough in a 20 cm loaf tin and allow to prove again for 20 minutes.

3. Once it has risen, preheat the oven to 200°C. Brush with the egg, then bake for 35 minutes, or until golden.
