English white bread

IMG_9052

One of the main purpose i bought a KA mixer is to bake fresh white bread to serve for breakfast. I have own this mixer for almost a year, if i can recall, i only made white bread not more than 2 times, hehehe.. Recently i just inspired by this good white bread recipe and making me to bake white bread again..

And now we even can enjoy this fresh homemade white bread with a cup of nice coffee (behind is my brand new Nespresso coffee machine)

We even make this into French toast with ham and cheese, YUM!

English white bread


The dough is quite difficulat to handle, very soft and sticky, and it also required very long hour of waiting time. So I dont know when i will make this again..check the below recipe and you will know..

English white bread
(recipe source: adapted from ccm2poco)

Starter dough
300g High protein flour/bread flour
3/4tsp active dry yeast
200g milk

Main dough

1/2tsp salt
2tbsp milk powder
15ml water
10g butter, melted


Method
1. Tear the starter dough into pieces and mix with all ingredient except melted butter.
2. Using a stand mixer, knead till dough is well combined (about 3mins).
3. Add in melted butter, continue to knead about 10mins till dough is smooth.
4. Cover with cling film and keep aside to rise for 30mins.
5. Divide the dough into 3 portions, knead till a smooth ball and keep in baking pan to rest for 20mins.
6. Knead again and rest for 15mins, repeat this step for two times.
7. Pat each piece out to an oblong, then fold one end into the centre and the other in on top. Put into a buttered tin, rest for another 40mins.

    looks like a lot of resting time needed. Proofing is not so bad at least i can still go out from the house to do the things i needed to do but sometimes multiple resting for 10 and 20 minutes can get me impatient. But your bread looks absolutely gorgeous and so tempted looking at your french toast!!

    Sonia! First I want to say thank you for mentioning my name to Anncoo. She visited my site and told me about it. I was very happy to hear that you even thought of me. :-) Thanks!!!! And about this bread.... this looks like a soft Japanese toast. I miss this kind of bread so much. I'm so used to American sandwich bread which is not like this. I guess until I start baking my own bread I won't be able to enjoy something like this. Soft and moist and sigh... I miss it. Yay for Nespresso coffee machine! I'd love a cup of coffee with this bread. Yum!

    The bread does look really fluffy - just wondering if you've the same concern as me - when I use my KA mixer for kneading, I always have this fear that it'll explode on me cos the mixer gets so warm where the motor is!
