Ingredients

-
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions (Thermomix)
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
Add milk, yeast, and sugar to the Thermomix bowl.
Heat 2 minutes / 37°C / speed 2 until the yeast is activated and slightly frothy.
Step 2: Make the Dough
Add flour, salt, butter, and egg (if using).
Knead 3 minutes / dough function until smooth and elastic.
Step 3: First Rise
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1–1½ hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 4: Shape the Loaf
Punch down the dough and shape into a loaf or divide into rolls. Place into a greased loaf tin or baking tray. Cover and allow to rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
Step 5: Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush the top with milk or melted butter.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack. Brush with extra butter for a soft, shiny crust if desired.
