Secret Ingredient Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
- 600g flour + 2 tbsp
- 400ml milk
- 8g yeast
- 80g sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vinegar (9% acidity)
- 30g vegetable oil + 40g
- 1 egg
- Poppy seeds (to taste)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine 600g of flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Heat 400ml of milk until warm, then add 2 tsp of vinegar to it. Let it sit for a moment to curdle and activate.
- Add the milk-vinegar mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Form it into a ball.
- Grease a bowl with 30g of vegetable oil, place the dough inside, cover it, and let it rise for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal parts, shaping them into rolls or a loaf.
- Beat the egg and brush it over the top of the bread.
- Sprinkle poppy seeds on top for added flavor and texture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- While still warm, brush the bread with 40g of vegetable oil for a glossy finish.
- Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy your homemade Secret Ingredient Bread with a hint of vinegar for that special touch!
