Homemade Fluffy Bread

Preparation method

Activate the yeast

In a bowl, mix the warm milk (not too hot) with the sugar and yeast. Let it rest for about 5 to 10 minutes, until it forms a foam. This indicates that the yeast is active.

Mix the ingredients

In a large bowl, place the wheat flour (reserve a small part to adjust the consistency), salt, butter and egg. Add the yeast mixture and stir until a dough begins to form.

Knead the dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour little by little, but be careful not to overdo it and make the bread heavy.

Let the dough rest

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Shape the bread

After rising, shape the bread into the desired shape. For a pretty look like the one in the photo, divide the dough into small portions and shape into balls or strips to form the design with a hole in the middle.

Let it grow again

Arrange the portions of dough in the desired shape, cover with the cloth again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Finish and bake

Brush the bread with the beaten egg to give it shine and, if desired, sprinkle sesame or grated cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for around 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden and baked completely.

Serve and enjoy

Remove the bread from the oven, let it cool slightly before unmolding and serve while still warm. It’s perfect with butter, jam or even plain!

Extra Tips

For an even softer bread, replace half the milk with heavy cream.
If you prefer a sweeter flavor, increase the amount of sugar a little.
For a special touch, add fine herbs or grated cheese to the dough.

This fluffy homemade bread is a real hug in food form. Whether for breakfast or an afternoon snack, it will bring a special flavor to your table. Try it and feel the pleasure of making your own bread at home!
