How to Make Creamy Bread: A Simple Guide

Creamy bread, with its soft texture and milky sweetness, is a beloved treat. Here’s a basic recipe to achieve bakery-perfect results at home.

Ingredients:

- 300g all-purpose flour

- 30g sugar

- 3g salt

- 30g butter (softened)

- 1 egg

- 150ml warm milk

- 3g active dry yeast

Steps:

1. Activate yeast: Mix warm milk and yeast, let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

2. Combine dry ingredients: Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

3. Make dough: Pour the yeast mixture and beaten egg into the flour. Knead into a smooth dough, then add softened butter and knead until elastic (about 10 minutes).

4. First rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–2 hours until doubled.

5. Shape: Punch down the dough, divide into small balls, and place them on a baking tray.

6. Second rise: Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

7. Bake: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden. Brush with melted butter for extra shine.

Tips: For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of condensed milk to the dough. Enjoy plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar!
