METHOD
METHOD: (makes 1 loaf)
Place the bread mix into a mixing bowl, add caster sugar, softened butter, 2 eggs and milk.
Mix together to form a dough ball then knead for 5 minutes using a minimum of dusting flour. The dough will be quite soft but tighten up during kneading.
Cover with a damp tea towel; lightly oiled plastic or polythene and rest for 5 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, mould each piece round then elongate to approximately 45cm (18 inches).
Fix the four pieces together at one end and proceed to plait in the following sequence: 2 over 3; 4 over 2; 1 over 3 until the plait is completed.
Secure and tuck ends under before placing the plaited loaf onto a large, lightly greased baking tray.
Cover with a damp tea towel; lightly oiled plastic or polythene and leave to prove in a warm place for approximately 40-50 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.
Carefully remove the cover and gently brush loaf over with egg yolk / water mixture before baking.
Bake in centre of oven at 210°C (410°F) gas mark 6½ for approximately 30-35 minutes until deep golden brown.
NOTE: The loaf should sound hollow when tapped on its base if baking is complete.
“Well here you are…a real, unsolicited, consumer’s appreciation e-mail! I’ve never done this before, but having just had 2 slices of your Parmesan and sun dried tomato bread still warm from the breadmaker, I was so impressed with the product I was moved to e-mail you and wake up my husband to give him a piece. He approved! (an accolade similar to Mr Del Monte and his tinned fruit) I had not come across your company before, and I was very sceptical about the ready mix as I have never tried anything out of the ordinary before in my bread maker. So often you buy something which claims to have such and such flavours but they are insipid and disappointing considering the premium price you have paid for it. However the simplicity of this mix and the DEEEE-licious result is almost unbelievable. The loaf was so light in texture, and had a nice blend of flavours detectable on the palate. I only hope it is fresh enough to eat tomorrow cos I filled up on the roast pork and can’t do the loaf justice this evening. This bread is delicious completely on its own…usually I would want to spread liberally with a buttery spread ..but the flavour is so satisfying it would probably ruin it. Anyway….congratulations you have a convert…..I will be off tomorrow to restock with another bread mix to have to hand when I next have a craving for a tasty piece of fresh bread! Best Wishes”
