Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup water (lukewarm) (117 grams)
  • ½ cup milk (lukewarm) (117 grams)
  • teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 2 ⅔ cups + 3 ½ tablespoons flour (all purpose or bread) (375 grams)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar (21 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (soft)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

EGG WASH

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions
 

  • In the mixing bowl add the water and milk, sprinkle the yeast on top, let sit 5-10 minutes then mix together.
  • Add the flour on top, then add the sugar, butter and salt on top. With the dough hook on speed #1 start to knead just until the ingredients come together. Increase the speed to #2 and knead for 7-10 minutes.
  • Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead to bring the dough together to form a ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, rolling to cover the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or towel and let rise in a warm draft free area for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
  • Punch the dough down, cover with a tea towel and let rest 15 minutes, form into a loaf, place in a lightly greased 9 inch (23 cm) loaf pan, cover and let rise in a warm draft free area for 1-2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
  • Pre-heat oven to 395F (200C).
  • Brush the dough with the egg wash or milk (if you prefer), and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until baked.

EGG WASH

  • In a small bowl beat together the egg and water.

Notes

After the second rise the best way to tell if the dough is ready to bake is to do the poke test, lightly flour your finger then poke the dough down about one inch (2 cm). If the indent stays, it’s ready to bake. If it pops back up it needs more time.
