Ingredients

240 ml (1 cup) warm milk – Activates the yeast and makes the dough moist and tender

75 g (¼ cup) whole milk – Adds richness and is used in the final glaze

1 large egg – Adds richness and structure to the bread

30 g (2 tablespoons) sugar – Feeds the yeast and adds light sweetness

7 g (2¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast – Leavens the bread for a soft, fluffy rise

520 g (4¼ cups) all-purpose flour – The structure and base of the bread

1 teaspoon salt – Balances flavor and controls fermentation

50 g (¼ cup) unsalted butter, softened – Adds tenderness and buttery richness

45 g (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter (for glaze) – Adds a soft, shiny finish

45 g (3 tablespoons) whole milk (for glaze) – Blended with butter to glaze the bread

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

Warm the milk to about 100°F (38°C). Stir in the sugar and sprinkle in the yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Whisk in the egg and additional ¼ cup of whole milk.

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the wet ingredients.

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes.

Gradually knead in the softened butter until smooth and elastic, about 5–7 more minutes.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Shape the Dough

Divide dough into 3 equal portions. Roll out one portion into a 25×40 cm rectangle.

Roll into a tight log, then cut into 4–5 equal pieces.

Place cut-side up into a greased loaf pan or muffin tray. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 3: Second Rise & Bake

Cover and let rise for another 1 hour until puffy.

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

Brush tops with an egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tbsp water).

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4: Glaze

While the bread is still warm, mix 3 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons milk.

Brush generously over the tops for a soft, shiny finish.

Pro Tips for Perfect Results

Use warm milk, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.

Knead thoroughly to develop gluten for that signature pillowy crumb.

Allow proper proofing time for maximum rise and lightness.

Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements.

For extra sweetness, brush warm bread with sweetened condensed milk instead of butter glaze.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with jam, honey, or butter for a decadent breakfast.

Use for sandwiches—it’s especially perfect for chicken salad or ham.

Pair with soups like tomato basil or creamy potato leek.

Enjoy with coffee or tea as a soft, sweet snack.
