Delicious Breakfast Bread – Easy and Quick Recipe

Step 1: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk, 1/2 cup warm water, 3 tablespoons oil, 2 teaspoons yeast, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Whisk well until combined.

Step 2: Add Flour and Mix

Gradually add 4 cups (500g) of flour to the wet mixture, mixing with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3: Knead the Dough

Knead the dough by hand in the bowl until it comes together and forms a smooth ball, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4: First Rise

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5: Punch Down and Divide Dough

Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and shape each part into a smooth ball.

Step 6: Roll Out Dough Parts

Take one dough ball and roll it out thinly using a rolling pin to form a large, thin circle.

Step 7: Butter and Layer Dough

Spread a portion of the 80-100g soft butter evenly over the first rolled dough. Place a second rolled dough on top and spread butter over it. Repeat with the third and fourth rolled doughs, buttering each layer.

Step 8: Fold the Layered Dough

Carefully fold the layered dough into a square or rectangular shape by folding one side to the middle, then the opposite side over it, and finally folding the ends inwards.

Step 9: Second Rise

Place the folded dough into a baking dish and gently press to flatten it slightly. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it rise for another half an hour.

Step 10: Apply Egg Wash

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the top of the risen dough.

Step 11: Bake the Bread

Preheat your oven to 180°C (≈355°F) (approximately 355°F) (350°F (≈175°C) (approximately 175°C)). Bake the bread for 28-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown on top and cooked through.

Step 12: Cool and Serve

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and cover it with a clean cloth for 10 minutes to cool down and soften. Then, slice and serve the delicious layered breakfast bread.
