Ingredients
- 500 grams of wheat flour
- 135 grams of milk
- 135 grams of water
- 40 grams of butter
- 20 grams of sugar
- 5 grams of salt
- 10 grams of yeast
Preparation
Step 1. Mix
The first thing you need to do is hydrate the yeast, so add it to the water in a container. Now, take a large enough bowl and pour the flour into it, making a hole in the middle to add the other ingredients. Now put the milk, sugar, salt and yeast. Make sure to mix very well with the help of a spatula or a fork so that everything is properly integrated. Later, use your hands to stir the dough until it is homogeneous. At that time, add the butter and knead again.
Step 2. Knead
Take the dough and put it on a table or flat surface, making movements that integrate it. Once it has become a ball, place it in a bowl, cover it with transparent paper and reserve for 20 minutes so that the dough grows. After this time, put the dough back on the table and with the help of a roller, flatten it from the center up and down and fold it in half to pass the roller again. Repeat this action 3 times. Finally, lengthen the dough with your hands and divide it into pieces of about 80 grams more or less. Form balls with each of these pieces and cover them with transparent paper.
Step 3. Bake
Grease with butter a tray that resists the heat of the oven. Now, take each ball, lengthen it a bit with the rolling pin and then make a rolling motion so that it is in the shape of traditional bread. Place them spaced on the tray, cover it with transparent paper and let them rest for an hour. Take a knife and make a slight vertical cut on each bread and take them to the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. At the end of this time, you can take them out and taste them. Bon Appetite.
