Easy Hand Kneaded Bread - Bread

Method

• Put the bread flour, dry yeast, sugar, salt and butter in a bowl.
• Add the warmed milk + water, and mix it in with a spatula until the ingredients (except for the flour) have dissolved.
• Mix well with the spatula.
• When the dough comes together, take the spatula out and mix with your hand.
• Slap down the dough and fold it in half in side the bowl for 5 to 7 minutes.
• When the dough is sticky and smooth, the kneading is done.
• Round the dough off into a smooth ball.
• Clean out the bowl, grease it lightly and put in the ball of dough.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let it rise in the oven at 40C for 40 minutes.
• The dough triples in size!
• Dip your index finger in some flour and poke a hole in the dough.
• If the hole remains, it's finished rising.
• If the hole fills back in, leave the dough to rise for a while longer.
• Cut the dough up into any size you like and form them into shapes.
• I made custard and jam bread this time, so I formed the dough into cup like shapes and topped with custard.
• These are wiener sausage rolls.
• Pierce each sausage 3 times with a knife, and wrap a thin long piece of dough around it three times.
• Tuck the end of the dough under the roll, and place on a kitchen parchment paper lined baking tray.
• Brush the dough with egg wash and top the sausage rolls with a little ketchup.
• Preheat the oven to 180C.
• Put the baking tray with the formed dough on top of the oven.
• The heat from the oven will help the dough to keep rising.
• When the oven has heated up, bake for 20 minutes at 180C.
• Please adjust the baking time depending on your oven.
• If making the custard filled rolls described in step 6, let the bread cool down a bit before adding some jam.
• For the sausage rolls from step 7, sprinkle with a little chopped parsley.
• In the back of this picture are egg and bacon rolls.
• In the front are simple pizza.
• I made the dough this time with soy milk instead of regular milk.
• Here's an apple and custard bread on the left, and another pizza on the right.
• The pizza was rolled out to be a little smaller than the baking sheet with a rolling pin before adding the toppings.
