Breadmaker Amish White Bread 阿米什白吐司

I came to know about this humble sweet bread recipe from my friend, JJ's blog. No milk, no butter, no egg, just water, sugar, flour, oil, salt and instant dry yeast. In spite of these simple basic ingredients, the bread was soft, moist, and slightly chewy. And its softness could last for at least 3 days. 

This bread makes a good low fat sandwich loaf.

Bread weight: 459g

Raw dough weight: 492g

Ingredients

160g cold water 冷水

45g raw sugar 黄砂糖

20g coconut oil 椰油

210g bread flour 高筋面粉

50g top/cake flour 低筋面粉

3/4 tsp instant dry yeast 速发干酵母

2. Pour ingredients into the bread pan in the sequence as they are listed in the ingredients list.

Colds water 

Raw sugar

3. Transfer the bread pan to the bread machine. 

Select "C-02 Sweet Bread" function,  "500g bread weight", and start the program.

5. Invert out the dough to a floured work top,

and remove the kneading blade from the bread pan.

6. Flatten it with your palm to release the trapped air.

7. Divide the dough into half, about 246g each.

Roll up the dough, pull down the side and tuck at the bottom to tighten the surface. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.

8. Flatten the dough and roll out into a flat oval dough.

9. Roll up the dough from the shorter side, cover with a lid, and let it rest for another 10 minutes.

10. After the rest, roll out the dough into a flat dough again. 

11. Flip the dough over so the smoother side will be facing out after rolling up. Roll up the dough from the shorter side.

Place the dough back to the bread pan. The open end of the dough should be facing down.

12. Spray some water over the surface, and press the "stop/start" button to resume proofing program.

13. When the countdown timer reads "0:46" h, press the "stop/start" buttom to pause the program.

Sprinkle some bread flour over the surface of the dough.

Press the "stop/start" button to resume. The baking process will start at "0:45"h.

14. Cover the window with a sheet of aluminum foil. This is to minimize heat loss through the window.
