Light Yeasted Decorative Bread

By Christine-2

Ingredients

• 2 lb 3.2 oz. bread flour
• 1.75 oz. milk powder
• 1.6 oz. sugar
• .5 oz. salt
• 1.75 oz. soften butter
• .01 oz. instant dry yeast (1/8 tsp.)
• 1 lb. 3.35 oz. (2 3/8 cups) water

Preparation

Step 1

Add all the ingredients to the mixing bowl. In a spiral mixer, mix on first speed for 3 minutes until all the ingredients are incorporated. Check the consistency and make adjustments as necessary. The dough should be quite stiff, but sufficiently hydrated to form a firm mass. Mix on second speed for an additional 3 minutes. In a planetary mixer, mix on first speed for 3 minutes. When all the ingredients are incorporated and hydration is correct, turn the mixer to second speed and mix for 5 minutes. The goal is a strongly developed gluten work.
