In a stand mixer add all-purpose flour, salt and sugar as shown.
Gently mix the flour mixture on low speed for few seconds. Now add bloomed yeast mixture ( add 1 ½ teaspoon yeast in ¼ cup of lukewarm milk ) to the flour mixture and run the stand mixer for a minute.
Then add 1 cup whole milk to the flour mixture and run the stand mixer for five to six minutes. Now switch off the power. Scrape the dough from all the sides until all the dough mixture combines well.
Add a teaspoon of unsalted room temperature butter and start kneading on high speed for four to five minutes.
You can see the smooth, soft shiny dough is ready. The best and easy way to check the dough is ready by Window Pane Test. If you can stretch the dough without it breaking, that means the gluten is well developed and your dough is ready to use.
Place the dough in a well greased bowl and grease the top, and cover with a kitchen towel or cling wrap.
Allow the dough to rise for 11/2 hour or until double in size. Punch down the dough to deflate the air.
The dough is well risen. Sprinkle flour on a kitchen counter and transfer the dough. Roll the dough to a log shape and place in a greased loaf pan for second proofing .Cover, and allow to rise for 30 minutes or until it double in size.
When the dough is risen, milk wash on the top of the bread and sprinkle some white sesame seeds.
Preheat oven to 180°celsius . Bake for 30 mins (I baked in Microwave Convection mode) and remove loaf tin from oven and brush top of the bread with melted butter.
COOLING AND SLICING SUGGESTION
Allow to cool the pan only for 10 mins. Gently run a knife around the edges to loose the bread and turn out and cool completely on a wire rack.
Bake bread the previous day and cover the loaf with a neat kitchen towel overnight to get the soft crust. Slice the bread with a serrated knife to get a proper even slice.
Firstly ,first proof is important to allow the yeast and gluten to develop and it helps in enhancing the flavour of the Bread.And the second proof is also important to get a high risen airy and light Bread Loaf.Do not over- proof the Bread dough as it result in an un pleasant yeast flavour.Do not over – proof 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.
