Ingredients
Flour
- 6.5 cups bread flour
- 2 cups lukewarm water
- 1 cup whole milk (optional swap with water)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 teaspoons instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
- 3 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for tins)
Instructions
- Grease two loaf tins and set aside. Whisk water and honey, then add yeast and let sit for 1 minute.
- Add flour and salt; stir until a shaggy dough forms. Knead with softened butter until smooth, about 8-10 minutes.
- Shape into balls, place in oiled bowls, cover, and let rise until doubled (~2 hours).
- Divide dough into two, shape into logs, and place seam side down in tins. Cover and let rise until over the rim (~40-60 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake loaves for 40-42 minutes until deep golden. Brush with melted butter, cool 10 minutes, then remove from tins and cool completely.
Notes
Ensure dough is soft and slightly tacky for best texture.
