Equipment
- 1 sandwich loaf pan
Ingredients
- 270 grams warm water 1 cup plus 2 tbsp
- 6 grams yeast 2 tsp
- 21 grams honey 1 tbsp
- 480 grams bread flour 4 cups
- 6 grams sea salt 1 tsp
- 56 grams butter, cut into pieces 4 tbsp
Instructions
Mix
- Add warm water, honey, and yeast in the bowl on an electric mixer.
- Add in the flour and salt. Place under the mixer with a dough hook and mix until it forms a ball, about 1 minute.
- Add in the butter pieces and knead for 5 minutes, or until all the butter has been incorporated and the dough is smooth.
Rest
- Cover with plastic and let the dough rest for about an hour, until the dough has doubled in size.
- Grease your loaf pan with butter, oil, or non-stick spray.
- Dust your counter with a very light dusting of flour.
Shape
- Once the dough has risen, dump out the dough onto the floured surface and knead it a few times.
- Flatten out the dough into a rectangle shape, about as wide as your loaf pan. Roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seams along the length and the sides. Roll the dough back and forth a few times, and then place the dough, seam side down, in the greased pan.
Rest
- Cover with a piece of greased plastic wrap and allow to rest, for about 1 hour, until the dough has risen about 1" - 2" above the lip of the pan.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake
- Remove the plastic and bake for about 20 minutes until lightly golden.Carefully cover with foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes. You want the inside of the bread to cook through to 190 degrees.
Cool
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.(optional) While it cools, take about 3 grams of butter and run it over the top of the bread. The butter will help keep the top soft and moist.Tilt the bread pan over and carefully dump out the bread onto a cooling rack to cool completely before cutting.Cut into 8-10 slices and enjoy!
