Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl add the milk and sugar stir to combine then sprinkle the yeast on top, let sit 5-10 minutes, then whisk together.
  2. In a medium bowl add the flour, pour the yeast mixture on top, let it sit 5 minutes so the flour absorbs the mixture, then stir, add the egg, honey, oil and salt mix with a fork, then place on a flat surface and knead until smooth, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  3. Form the into a log and place in a greased loaf pan (7-8 inches / 18-20 cm) cover with a towel leave in a warm draft- free area until doubled in bulk, approximately 2 hours. 
  4. Pre-heat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  5. Brush the dough with a little milk and bake approximately 30-35 minutes.
  6. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. When cool, cut into slices ¼ inch thick (a little more than ½ cm) place on 1-2 parchment paper lined baking sheets and bake again at 350F (180C) for approximately 30 minutes (or until golden).  Let cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Lukewarm is considered between 105-110F (40-43C). Be aware that the yeast will die at a temperature over 140F (60C).
  • The dough can also be made with a stand mixer if you prefer, knead approximately 5-6 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Store the baked bread slices,  let them cool completely then place in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, they should last 10-12 days.
