Killer Toast (just one proofing)

Source : Victoria Bakes

Ingredients (450g loaf pan)

260 gr Bread flour

3 gr Instant dry yeast

160-180 gr Liquid (combination of one egg (use ONE XL egg) + full cream milk)

30 gr Sugar (10 gr if making a salty toast)

2 gr Salt (6 gr for salty toast)

30 gr Butter

Method: 

- Mix all ingredients (except butter) together and knead till you get a silky and elastic dough

- Incorporate butter and knead till window pane stage (crucial part, when the dough is not easy to bread when pulling the dough)

- Divide dough into any preferred portions (I let it rest for 10 mins), then roll out flat. Roll just like a swiss roll (or fill any preferred filling) , and place into greased loaf pan ( TIPs : put the dough side by side, you want your bread to grow TALLER instead of grow FATTER)

- Rise till dough reaches 90% of height of pan (I let it proofing for 30-45 mins depending on the pan size)

- Bake in preheated oven of 170-180 degrees C, second lowest rack for 15-40 mins, tenting bread with foil if it browns too quickly
