1-Day White Bread

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups of white flour.
2/3 cup of warm milk. 
1 tbsp Active Dry Yeast.
pinch of salt.
1 tbsp sugar.


Cooking:
Add the dry ingredients (including most of the yeast) to a mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Warm the milk in a pot and add 1/4 of the tbsp of yeast and allow to dissolve (i've made this bread 4 times now and it works a lot better when you add some to the milk). Mix together thoroughly and add more milk/flour as needed- mixture consistency never seems to be the same as the recipe! If you have butter (not margarine) you can use 1/4 cup of milk and the rest of melted butter- real butter is hard to find in Korea so I work without it.


Lightly flour the bench and knead the dough for about 5 minutes. Put it back in the bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and place somewhere warm for 1 hours (if you can spare 2-3 it's even better). Re-knead the bread lightly and roll out a long rectangle on the bench. Roll it up lengthwise with the seam facing down, tuck the end s of the load underneath with the seam. If you're cooking it in a loaf tin, put it in this and back in the warm spot for 45-60 mins, otherwise the oven tray is fine. The bread should rise a bit more and stops it from being too dense. Cook for 25 mins at 200 degrees C. Let it cool for 5 mins before you cut it so it doesn't crumble! Best eaten warm or toasted.

Fresh out of the oven!
