Ingredients
- All-purpose flour/Maida 250 g
- Milk (lukewarm) 125 ml
- Sugar 25 g
- Salt 5 g
- Butter (unsalted) 30 g
- Instant yeast 5 g
- Lukewarm water 30 ml (if needed)
- Egg white or milk for glazing (optional)
Directions
- In a bowl, combine lukewarm milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Mix well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until slightly foamy.
- Take a bowl, add all-purpose flour (maida), butter and salt to it & mix yeast water and knead to form a rough dough. Knead the dough until it becomes soft and smooth. If the dough feels dry, add a little warm water as needed. Shape the dough into a loaf, small rolls, or place it into a bread tin.
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place until it doubles in size OR move the SmartSwitch to Cooker mode and select prove & set time for 1 & ½ hour.
- Take the combi pan and pour 300 ml water into it. Place the crisper plate over the pan.
- Place the dough tin on the crisper plate. Brush the top with egg white or milk for a shiny golden crust.
- Move the SmartSwitch to Cooker mode and select Combi Bake mode. Set the temperature to 160°C for 25 minutes. (There will be a preheat window of about 10–15 minutes.)
- Press Start and bake until the bread turns golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove the bread from the pan and cool completely before slicing and serving.
