METHOD FOR THE MILK BREAD:

This recipe can be used with lamb, beef or chicken.

  1. Place the flour, salt yeast and sugar in a mixing bowl set with a dough hook keeping the yeast and salt separate.
  2. Gently warm the milk and butter so it becomes just warm to touch then pour onto the dry ingredients and mix on high speed until the dough becomes shiny and elastic.
  3. Tip the dough onto a clean work surface and knead for a minute or two then place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
  4. Next tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and fold inwards to knock back into a smooth ball.
  5. Divide into 80g units and then roll the dough using the palm of your hand into rolls or shape into a loaf tin.
  6. Cover with cling film and leave to prove for another 1 hour.
  7. Heat the oven to 210°C/190°C fan / gas 7 for rolls or 200°C/180°C fan / gas 6 for loaf.
  8. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes for the rolls or 25-30 minutes for the loaf or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped underneath.
  9. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
