Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup (200 ml) warm water
  • 1 cup (200 ml) warm milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 10 g yeast about 2 teaspoons
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 30 g butter (about 2 tablespoons), softened
  • 600 g flour about 4 ¾ cups
  • 40 g butter (about 3 tablespoons), for brushing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
  2. Mix the dough: Add the salt, 30 g of softened butter, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix well until the dough comes together.
  3. Knead the dough: Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
  4. Let the dough rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and leave it in a warm place for 45 minutes or until it doubles in size.
  5. Shape the dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down and let it rest for another 15 minutes. Sprinkle some flour on a surface, divide the dough into your desired shape (loaf or rolls), and place it in a greased baking tray.
  6. Bake the bread: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Bake the bread for 25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Brush with butter: While the bread is still hot, brush the top with the 40 g of melted butter for extra flavor and softness.
  8. Cool and serve: Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm with your favorite spread or as a side dish.
