Ingredients
-
1 Tb instant yeast
1 Tb sugar
2 cups water, slightly cool
5 to 5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup dried milk (nonfat or not)
1.5 tsp Salt
1 large Egg, beaten
1 Tb butter, melted, cooled
OPTIONS:
1 tsp diastatic malt powder, added with dried milk
2 Tb dough improver, added with dried milk
Egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 Tb cool water), brushed on right before baking
If egg wash is used, then you can add whatever seeds, grains, or salt you like on top of the loaf
You can also substitute 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour for part of the white flour; this makes the bread taste even better but will impact the rise slightly.
Tips
There isn't much prep time on this; most of it is waiting for the bread to rise. I tweaked this over years and it's my go-to bread recipe now. It's so versatile!
Directions
1. Mix yeast, sugar, and water in mixing bowl of standing mixer. Whisk in 1/4 cup flour. Let that sit about 3 minutes.
2. Mix in dried milk,salt, egg, and melted butter. When that's all together, start adding flour 1/2 cup at a time. When the dough doesn't feel tacky to the touch and it's smooth and elastic, you're done; you might not use it all.
3. Put the dough in an oiled bowl, turn it over to get it all oiled, and cover the bowl with a cloth. Let it rise about an hour or until doubled.
4. Preheat oven to 375F. Divide the dough into whatever you want to make. This will make about 12 nice-sized buns, about 20 rolls, or 2 loaves of bread. Put them into their respective oiled pans or prepared sheets (parchment is good under rolls or buns; they can stick a bit) and let them rise another hour or so, until doubled again.
5. If using egg wash and toppings, apply. Loaves can be slashed with a knife/lame, 1/4" deep. Put the various pans into the oven's middle racks. Bake until done: large loaves of bread will take about 45 minutes; smaller loaves and buns will take anywhere from 15-30 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 after 5 minutes in the oven. Loaves will register 200 with a thermometer, if you have one; otherwise, knock on the loaves and they should sound hollow and look golden-brown.
6. Remove from oven; immediately take from pans and put on a wire rack to cool. As soon as they can be comfortably handled, they're ready to slice and eat.
