  • Preparation: 120 min
  • Cooking: 40 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (107 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, gluten

Ingredients

  • 60 g Flour, bread (strong)
  • 5 g Sugar
  • 5 g Butter, unsalted
  • 20 g Milk, whole
  • 1.5 g Yeast, active dry
  • 0.8 g Salt
  • 15 g Water

Method

  1. This is one thick slice; the dough below makes a small loaf that gives about 6 slices, so multiply by 6 for the whole loaf.
  2. Warm the milk and water slightly and dissolve the yeast and sugar in it; let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Mix the flour and salt, then work in the butter and yeast mixture to a smooth, stiff dough; knead well for 10 minutes, this dough should be firmer than most bread doughs.
  4. Shape into a tight loaf in a small greased pan, cover and let rise for about 1.5-2 hours until it has grown but still feels dense.
  5. Bake at 190 °C (375 °F) for 35-40 minutes until deep golden and it sounds hollow when tapped.
  6. Cool completely before slicing; hard dough bread is dense and close-textured by design.
