Step 4

Once kneaded well, shape it to a ball and place it in a bowl. Cover it with a towel and set aside to proof for an hour or until it doubles in size.

Once the dough has doubled, turn it out on a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 2 minutes. Divide the dough into 2 equal-sized portions. Set aside one for the next batch, or freeze for future use.

Alternative Ingredient:

Bread flour can be replaced with all-purpose flour or wheat flour. Bread flour will give a nice chewy texture to the bread.

You can replace salted butter with unsalted butter, but then remember to add some salt to the recipe.

You may replace sugar with honey or maple syrup if you prefer.

For a vegan version, milk can be replaced with almond milk.

Tips:

All the Ingredients should be at room temperature.

All different variety of flours need a different amount of milk. So if you are using all-purpose flour, you will have to add less water than specified in the recipe here. With multigrain flour or wheat flour, add 5-10 ml of extra milk.

Knead your dough well till it is smooth.

Keep a check on proving time. Proving time also depends upon the weather. If it is hot and humid, bread proofs fast, cold weather slows down the proving time. For that, keep the dough in a warm place, like in the oven with lights on.

Check for proofing by doing the dimple test, To check whether the dough is proofed, press the dough lightly with a finger, it will leave an indent. If it rises back the dough needs little more proofing time, if it doesn’t bounce back, the dough is proofed.
