How to Make Delicious Milk Bread with Crumble Topping

Milk bread with crumble topping is a beloved treat, combining soft, fluffy bread with a buttery, crunchy topping. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

### For the Bread Dough:

You’ll need 300g bread flour, 30g sugar, 3g salt, 7g active dry yeast, 120ml warm milk, 1 egg, and 30g softened butter. Mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add warm milk and egg, knead into a smooth dough. Incorporate butter and knead until elastic (about 10-15 minutes). Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size (1-1.5 hours). Punch down the dough, divide into small balls, and place them in a greased baking pan. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.

### For the Crumble Topping:

Combine 50g all-purpose flour, 30g brown sugar, 30g cold butter (cut into cubes), and a pinch of salt. Use your fingers to mix until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the risen dough.

### Baking:

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 25-30 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the topping is crisp. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy your homemade milk bread—soft, sweet, and perfectly topped!
