BREAD MACHINE - HOME BAKED LOAF BREAD

We usually have bread for breakfast. This is an easy to bake loaf bread using the bread-maker machine to knead the dough [as shown on the top left photo]. Just put the ingredients according to the order below and let the machine complete the dough cycle.

Ingredients
[make 1 loaf = 550 gm]

A]
180 ml cold water
1.5 tbsp caster sugar
3/4 tsp salt
260 gm bread flour
40 gm plain flour
2 tbsp wholemeal bread flour
1 tbsp skimmed milk powder
1  3/4 tsp instant yeast
B]
1 tbsp butter/margarine


  1. Put ingredients into bread-maker pan according to above order. Start the machine and let it knead for about 5 minutes. Then add in [B]. Let the machine complete the dough kneading function.
  2. When completed, remove dough from pan on to a floured board. Knock down dough to release air trapped in dough. Roll out into oblong shape. Fold into 3. Turn over and roll out flat rectangle and roll swiss roll [see photo above].
  3. Put dough in a greased Pullman's tin and allow to proof for at least 30 minutes or until the dough reaches to about 90% of the tin.
  4. Preheat oven at 180 degrees C for 10 minutes. Bake loaf for 25-30 minutes. 
  5. Remove loaf to cool on rack immediately after baking. Cool before slicing bread. Keep in airtight container. 
Note: Photo showed 2 loaves. I doubled the quantity to make loave at a time [1 loaf is for my neighbour/a close friend]
