Ingredients

Makes: 1 Loaf

• 1 tsp active dry yeast

• 1 tbsp sugar

• 270g milk (about 1 cup + 2 tbsp)

• 380g all-purpose flour (about 3 cups)

• 1 tsp salt

• 43g softened butter (about 3 tbsp)

How to Make Ultra Soft Milk Bread

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

• In a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and milk.

• Add the flour and mix until no dry flour remains.

• Add the salt and softened butter.

• Use the stretch-and-fold or coil-fold method until the butter is fully incorporated and the dough becomes smooth.

Step 2: First Rise

• Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap.

• Let the dough rest for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 3: Shape the Bread

• Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.

• Roll each piece into a smooth ball.

• Arrange the dough balls side by side in a parchment-lined loaf pan.

Step 4: Second Rise

• Cover the loaf pan and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.

• Brush the tops gently with milk for a beautiful golden finish.

Step 5: Bake

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Bake for 15 minutes.

• Reduce the oven temperature to 380°F (193°C) and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the loaf is beautifully golden brown.

Step 6: Finish

• Brush the hot bread with melted butter.

• Cover it with a clean kitchen towel while it cools until warm. This helps keep the crust soft and the bread extra fluffy.

Tips for the Softest Milk Bread

• Use warm milk, not hot, to keep the yeast active.

• Stretch-and-fold the dough gently instead of kneading.

• Covering the loaf after baking helps lock in moisture and keeps the crust soft.

• Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing for the best texture.
