Ultra Soft Milk Bread

How to make it

1. Mix yeast, sugar, and milk.

   In a bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and milk to activate the yeast. This mixture will help the bread rise.

2. Add flour and mix until combined.

   Incorporate the flour into the yeast mixture until everything is combined, forming a sticky dough.

3. Add salt and softened butter.

   Mix in the salt and softened butter, which will add flavor and richness to the bread.

4. Stretch and fold or coil fold until incorporated.

   Use a stretching and folding technique to fully incorporate the butter into the dough.

5. Cover and let rest for 2 hours.

   Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, which usually takes about 2 hours.

6. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.

   Once risen, divide the dough into 6 equal pieces to shape the individual rolls.

7. Flatten each piece, fold, seal, and roll.

   Flatten each piece of dough, fold it as shown in the video, seal the edges, and roll it into a smooth ball.

8. Place in a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.

   Arrange the shaped dough balls in a loaf pan lined with parchment paper for baking.

9. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.

   Cover the loaf pan and let the dough rest for another 20 minutes to rise slightly before baking.

10. Brush with milk.

    Before baking, brush the top of the dough with milk to enhance browning.

11. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.

    Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15 minutes to start the cooking process.

12. Reduce heat to 380°F and bake for 15 more minutes.

    Lower the oven temperature to 380°F and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.

13. Brush with butter and cover until warm.

    Once out of the oven, brush the bread with melted butter and cover it to keep it warm and soft.
