MILK IN TOAST

Steps:

• In a large skillet on medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add in the brioche slices and toast until the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip, and toast the other side until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle on the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Cut each toast into 9 cubes.
• Add the toast cubes into a 2 bowls and serve with milk.

MILK BREAD

MILK BREAD

Steps:

• Grease a standard size loaf pan.
• Sift the flour into a large warm bowl and add the egg, butter, yeast, salt and sugar.
• Gradually mix in the milk--NOT all of it may be necessary--and knead by hand or by machine until smooth and elastic.
• Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour.
• Knead the dough again, BRIEFLY and fit the dough into the loaf pan.
• Let rise again in a warm place for approximately 45 minutes; then glaze the top of the loaf with either some beaten egg or some milk.
• Bake the loaf in a 450°F oven for 15 minutes; then REDUCE the oven temperature to 425°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the loaf is golden and sounds hollow when tapped on it's base.
• This bread was declared by Victorians to be a nice soft loaf with a good storage life and deemed perfect for teatime or breakfast use.
• Prep time includes time for the dough to rise.

CHEF JOHN'S MILK BREAD

Steps:

• Whisk bread flour, water, and milk for starter together in a small saucepan until very smooth. Place over medium-low heat and cook, stirring often, until very thick and just about to bubble. If you want to check, it should be at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). Pull off the heat and transfer into a measuring cup; you will need exactly 1/2 cup. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Prepare dough: Combine bread flour, cooled starter, salt, sugar, yeast, warm milk, and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Beat on low speed until dough begins to form a ball and pull away from the sides of the bowl, scraping down the sides as needed, about 5 minutes.
• Stop the mixer and scrape dough off the hook and into the bowl. Add butter and knead on low speed until dough is slightly tacky but very smooth and elastic, scraping down the sides as needed, 10 to 12 more minutes.
• Remove dough from the bowl and shape into a smooth ball. Transfer into a lightly buttered bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Very generously butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Transfer dough to a work surface (you don't need flour.) Press and knead out all the air and shape into a 9-inch wide rectangle. Starting at one 9-inch side, roll dough lengthwise into a log. Transfer log into the prepared loaf pan with the seam down. Press on dough a bit to be sure it's evenly distributed. Cover the pan and let dough rise until it comes to just about the top of the pan, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Brush the top of the loaf with just enough milk to lightly coat the surface.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the load is beautifully puffed up, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Very carefully remove bread and place on a wire rack to cool all the way to room temperature before slicing, about 1 hour.

BREAD AND MILK

Steps:

• Tear the bread into rough chunks, and sprinkle with the sugar. Warm the milk and pour over the bread and sugar to serve.

MILK BREAD

Steps:

• Whisk together the bread flour, milk, and 1/2 cup (120 grams) water in a small saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Whisk for 6 to 8 minutes, until the mixture comes together and forms a smooth, doughy paste. It will start out completely liquid; after it comes to a boil it will get thicker and thicker until it finally leaves a trail in the pan and is more like a soft paste. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, place the tangzhong, cream, milk, whole eggs, and yeast and mix on low speed for about 2 minutes, until combined. Add the bread flour, sugar, and salt and mix on medium-low for another 4 to 6 minutes, until the dough has come together and is starting to feel a bit elastic.
• Add the butter bit by bit and mix on medium-low for another 8 minutes. The dough should be supple and smooth and a little tacky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lint-free towel and let the dough proof for about 1 hour at warm room temperature.
• Punch the dough down by literally punching it in the middle and bringing up all of the edges into the center. Scoop the dough up and turn it over. Re-cover and let proof for another 30 minutes at warm room temperature.
• Generously flick flour over the work surface. Generously butter two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans or spray with pan spray. Scrape the dough out of the bowl and divide it in half. Divide each half into 4 equal pieces. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a rough oval about 5 inches wide from side to side and 8 inches long from top to bottom, with the narrow end facing you.
• Fold the right side of the dough into the center and the left side of the dough into the center so it meets the right side. Press down so you now have a long skinny piece of dough.
• Starting from the bottom, roll the dough upward away from you so you have a little jelly-roll piece of dough. Place it seam side down in one of the prepared pans. Repeat this with 3 other pieces of dough so the rolls are lined up crosswise in the loaf pan, nestled next to one another. Repeat with the other 4 pieces of dough and the second loaf pan.
• Cover the loaves with plastic wrap or a lint-free towel and let proof at warm room temperature for 60 to 70 minutes, until the loaves are puffy and jiggly when you poke them.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and place a rack in the center of the oven. Whisk the egg yolk for the egg wash in a small bowl with a fork. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash evenly on the tops of each loaf. Bake the loaves for 35 to 40 minutes, rotating the pans midway through the baking time, until the breads are golden brown and sound hollow when you thump them on top.
• Remove from the oven and let the loaves cool in the pans on a wire rack until they are cool enough to remove from the pans, about 15 minutes. Tip them out, place them directly on the wire rack, and let cool until room temperature.
