Ingredients
- ¼ cup + 1¼ tablespoons milk whole/heavy (lukewarm) (80 g total, if you double the recipe then double this amount)
- 3 teaspoons granulated sugar (divided)
- 1¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
- ⅔ cup cream whole, heavy or whipping cream at least 30% fat content (lukewarm)
- 2¼ cups +2½ tablespoons bread flour (or 0 Italian flour) (300 g total, if you double the recipe then double this amount)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In the stand mixer add the milk and one teaspoon of sugar, combine, sprinkle the yeast on top and let sit 10 minutes. Stir to combine.
- Add the cream, remaining sugar and flour, start to knead 2-3 minutes, then add the salt and knead for 10 minutes, the dough should be soft, elastic and compact and a little bit tacky.
- Move the dough to a flat surface and form into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm draft free area until doubled in bulk, approximately 2 hours.
- Again move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and form into 3 even balls (approximately 180 grams each). Place in a greased or sprayed 8-9 inch loaf pan, cover and let rise in a warm draft free area until doubled in bulk, approximately 1-2 hours.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F/180C.
- Brush the dough with milk and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until baked through. Move immediately to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
- Bread is baked when the internal temperature reaches 190°F. Either insert a digital thermometer into the bottom of the loaf to check or if the bread sounds hollow on the bottom when you give it a slight knock, this also means that it is finished baking.
- Store: Store at room temperature in a airtight bag for 1-2 days
- Freeze: For longer storage, you can store cream bread in slices or as a whole loaf. Cool completely then wrap loaf in plastic wrap then foil and store for up to 3 months. Thaw wrapped at room temperature and enjoy.
