Steps:
- Mix all the ingredients together and knead for thirty to forty seconds.
- Let rise (about forty minutes) and knock down and knead for thirty seconds.
- Repeat.
- (Or let the bread machine do all the kneading and timing for you and go beach combing until it's time to cook the dough!) Allow final rise in a bread pan, about forty minutes, and preheat oven to 425 f.
- Place in oven and decrease temperature to 350 f.
- Bake for thirty minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. This means using real butter, fresh milk, and good-quality flour.
- Make sure your butter and milk are cold before you start baking. This will help to create a flaky crust.
- Work the dough quickly and gently. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the dough from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the bread cooks evenly.
- Don't overbake the bread. Overbaked bread will be dry and crumbly.
