- After second proving ,remove the cling film and brush the bread dough with milk.
- Preheat oven to 180 C and bake for 30 minutes or until it is brown on top. Remove loaf tin and brush surface of the bread with melted butter (purely optional).Allow to cool the tin only for 10 minutes and remove bread to avoid soggy at the base. Cover the bread loaf to achieve soft crust.
Notes
Firstly ,first proving of bread is important to allow the yeast and gluten to develop and it helps in enhancing the flavour of the Bread.
And the second proving is also important to get a high risen airy and light Bread Loaf.
Do not over- prove the Bread dough as it result in an unpleasant yeast flavour.
Do not over – prove at second stage as it end up with a Bread loaf, where the crust separates from the Loaf.
Always buy good branded fresh yeast.
Home made Bread will stay fresh for two to three days only.
For this recipe,you can use any candied fruits or even nuts as per your choice.
You can freeze the bread for longer shelf life.
Thaw the bread before consuming.
