White bread loaf

Today I baked these loaves using Taiwan Bread flour called Blue Jacket

On the packet there is a recipe but I halved the recipe and also incorporated previous method to make this bread 

Largely from bakingwithmi

Recipe

500 gm bread flour

15 gm instant yeast

35 gm castor sugar

8 gm fine salt

350 gm slightly warm milk 

Bread improver (omitted)

Measure your milk in a jug

Into it stir in a tablespoon of sugar from the measured portion

Then add in the yeast stir well and keep in warm place to let the yeast bubble 

Then prepare your mixing bowl 

I use my kenwood mixer

Pour the yeast milk into the bowl

Add in the balance sugar and salt 

Mix well with a spoon

Add in all the flour

Use the dough hook and start mixing on low for about 3 minutes 

Then adjust to medium speed about  5 minutes or till the dough texture looks smooth 

Then add in the softened butter

Use low speed to mix in the butter about 2-3 minutes

Then use medium speed about 10 minutes till the dough is smooth again

Oil a medium size bowl for proofing

Shape the dough into a ball and proof it in the bowl 

Cover with cling film n proof about 40 mins in a slightly warmed oven

Before proof

After proof

Remove the dough onto a baking paper n flatten slightly with your palm into a disc

I divided into 6 triangles and shaped then into balls

Cover with cling film and proof for 25 minutes

Then I followed the video above from King Arthur Flour 

Grease 2 loaf pans with butter . I used a Crisco butter spray 

Shape each ball onto a lightly floured surface till almost oval like 

Fold one third over n press down the seam with the side of palm 

Turn the other side to you and fold the other 1/3 over n press the seam down 

Then roll it on the work top into a log

Place 3 rolls into the loaf tin and proof till they raise slightly over the loaf tin

Bake at 150c preheated oven for 30-35 mins

After 2nd proof 

Shape to oval 

Fold 1/3 over n press seam

Do the same the other side

Then roll it to log 

Put inside the oiled or buttered loaf tins

Ready to eat!
