Eggless and Delicious Bread with Chocolate Jam

Eggless and Delicious Bread with Chocolate Jam

Ingredients:

• 140 ml warm milk
• 40 grams sugar
• 4 grams instant yeast
• 250 grams bread flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 20 grams butter
• Sesame seeds
• Chocolate jam

Instructions:

Activate the Yeast:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Prepare the Dough:

1. To the yeast mixture, add bread flour and salt. Mix until it forms a shaggy dough.
2. Add softened butter to the dough and knead it well until smooth and elastic. You can use a stand mixer or knead by hand for around 8-10 minutes.

First Rise:

1. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Shaping and Second Rise:

1. After the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf or desired bread shapes.
2. Place the shaped dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover it again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Preheat and Bake:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Once the dough has risen again, brush the top with a little milk and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
3. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until it turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Final Touch:

1. Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
2. Once cooled, slice the bread and spread chocolate jam generously on each slice.
3. Enjoy your delightful, eggless, and delicious bread with chocolate jam!
