Sandwich Bread

 

This recipe is from fifteen spatulla!
Sandwich bread are like dinner rolls,very soft,airy and light!

Ingredients:
Butter-4 tbsp-melted,
Milk (luke warm) -1 and 1/4 cup or 295 ml,
Honey-2 tbsp,
Yeast-1 pkt,
All purpose flour (sieved)-3 cups,
Salt-1 tsp,
Butter for brushing the top,
Egg-1+2 tbsp of water for egg wash

Method:
Heat milk to luke warm-(30 seconds approx in microwave)
Add yeast and 2 tbsp of honey.
Mix and keep aside for 5 minutes for the yeast to activate.

Sieve flour in a bowl and add salt.

As the yeast foams up,add the melted butter and stir.

You can do the mixing of dough in a bowl with a wooden spoon or use your mixer bowl with a blade.
I have used the mixer for mixing the dough.
Pour the yeast mixer in a bowl and add 2 cups of flour.

Stir the dough with the blade without using the switch on button.

Add the rest of the dough and run the mixer on high for 3 minutes.

The dough will stick to the blade.
As the dough is very sticky,transfer it on a lightly floured counter.

Using very little flour,knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes into a round dough ball.

Place the dough ball into a greased bowl and cover with a moist cloth.

Let the dough rest in a warm place for 1 hour to double in size.

Once the dough has risen,make a few punches to let the air out.

Take out the dough on a lightly floured counter and spread it into 8x8 square size.
Roll the dough like cinnamon roll.

Pinch the ends and place it down.

Pinch the sides and tuck both the ends.

Grease your loaf pan,and transfer the dough into the pan.

Brush the top with butter and cover with a cloth.

Let the dough rest for 40 minutes to rise.

Pre heat oven to 375 F or 190 C for 10 minutes.
Once the dough has risen in the loaf pan,brush the loaf with a egg wash.

Transfer the pan to bake for 40 minutes or till a brown crust forms on the top.

Take out the loaf pan from and keep on wire rack.
Brush the top with butter.
Loosen the edges with a sharp knife.

Invert the pan,to take out the loaf.
Tapping the bottom will give a hollow sound.
Place the loaf in upright position and leave it to cool.

Slice the bread once the loaf is at room temperature.
