A nice, soft loaf bread that's great plain, or with peanut butter, preserves, or Nutella. The proofing stage (rising) takes longer than most breads due to the butter and yolk-rich dough.
Ingredients
- 1 C. milk shopping list
- 1/4 C. honey shopping list
- 1/4 oz. active dry yeast (2 1/2 tsp., 1 package) shopping list
- 1/2 stick (1/4 C.) unsalted butter, melted shopping list
- 2 large egg yolks shopping list
- 4 C. bread flour shopping list
- 2 tsp. salt shopping list
How to make it
- In a small saucepan, heat milk with honey, stirring, over low heat until just lukewarm. (It should be warm, but not be uncomfortable to keep your finger in the milk.)
- Remove pan from heat. Stir in yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add butter and yolks, whisking until combined well.
- Transfer milk mixture to bowl.
- Gradually add flour and salt, stirring until incorporated. Knead 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer to lightly oiled large bowl and turn to coat with oil.
- Let dough rise, covered with plastic wrap, until doubled in bulk (2 hours in warm place, or overnight in refrigerator).
- Punch down dough, place in loaf pan, and let rise until doubled in bulk.
- Bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes.
