- Preparation: 80 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (78.5 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, gluten
Ingredients
- 4 g Butter, unsalted
- 24 g Milk, whole
- 7 g Light syrup (golden syrup)
- 1.2 g Yeast, fresh
- 0.3 g Salt
- 42 g Flour, all-purpose
Method
- Melt the butter, add the milk and syrup and warm to about 37°C, just warm to the touch.
- Crumble the yeast into a bowl, stir in a little of the warm liquid until it dissolves, then add the rest with the salt.
- Work in the flour and knead for 5-8 minutes to a smooth, soft dough. Cover and leave to rise for 30-40 minutes, until doubled.

- Lay it on a baking tray lined with paper, cover and let it rise for 20 minutes.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes, until pale golden in spots, then cool under a tea towel so it stays soft.
