Recipe of Plain Milk Bread (in bread maker) by Kevin

Ingredients

  • Yudane
  • 60g flour
  • 90g water
  • Dough
  • 155ml milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 240g flour
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1/2 tsp unsalted butter

Steps

  1. For Yudane: Scoop the flour into a small bowl and pour the boiled water over it. Mix until combined and most of the big flour chunks are gone. Cover and keep overnight in the fridge, or at least 4 hours on the countertop.
  2. After the Yudane is done, heat up the milk in the microwave until it's warm but not boiling hot. You can also take the butter out of the fridge at this point to let it warm up.
  3. Crack an egg into the loaf pan and add in the milk. Then add in the salt, flour, sugar, yeast, and the Yudane mix.
  4. Start the bread maker program for regular bread (1 lb). Once the dough is mixed in and formed shape, drop in the butter while the machine is still kneading.
  5. Since we're using reduced yeast, pause the program right before it starts baking to give it more time to rise. After 40 mins, resume the program to let it start baking. (If you can't pause, stop it completely and use the "bake" option directly afterwards so it doesn't knead again).
  6. Once it's done, stop or unplug the machine and leave the loaf in for about 30 minutes before taking it out to prevent too much moisture from escaping.
