Saw this bread recipe in Lena's [frozen wings] food blog which looks good. So I tried baking it today but I used the sponge dough method with the same ingredients because I am leaving the house for my regular morning exercise. I just mix half portion of the bread flour and water with the yeast into a rough dough. Cover and leave it to rest for 1-2 hours and finish off doing the dough when I came back. In a way it helps to save time while I do other things [going for exercise and nearby morning market].
A good bread recipe to keep. Bread is soft, moist, light and texture is lovely.

- Add all the ingredients [except water and butter] to the overnight dough. Knead until well combined, then gradually add in water while kneading until a soft dough is formed. Knead for about 10 minutes then add in butter. Continue kneading until soft, smooth, elastic and dough does not stick to the fingers [about 15 minutes on high speed].
- Shape into a ball and cover with a clean cloth to proof for 15 minutes or until double in size. Punch down dough.
- Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Roll and fold each portion into thirds, then roll swiss roll style into a log. Place in baking tin [Pullman's tin] and leave to proof in oven for more than an hour or until double in size.
- Bake in preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 25 - 30 minutes. Remove to cool on rack immediately after baking.
Note:
This bread makes lovely bread toast with butter and jam
