Milk Bread

The slices that remained after lunch 
Loving my "My Way of Cooking" cookbook......Tried this Bread out yesterday, delicious and loved by us all

300g Milk
50g butter
2 tsp dried yeast
60g sugar (or less)
550g bakers flour
pinch of salt

Place Butter, milk, yeast and sugar into bowl - 3 minutes - 37 degrees - Speed 2
Add flour and salt - Closed Lid - 3 minutes - Interval Speed
Wrap in Baking Mat or place in bowl with glad wrap over the top - let rise for 45min or so (until almost doubled in size)
Divide dough into 3 parts and roll each into a rope shape - plait bread using the three strands, place on baking tray with baking paper (or your mat if you wish) brush with a splash of water or egg yolk, put into a cold oven.  Set Oven for approx 30 minutes - 180 degrees.  Transfer onto wire rack to cool....ENJOY!!!

I'm going to try baking mine next time in a loaf tin, i think i'd get 2 loaves out of the mixture.  My plait did join quite a bit anyway, so it was kind of like a big loaf in the end.
