Operating Steps
  • STEP 1
    Prepare the proofing mixture by combining 270ml of warm milk (around 38-43°C), 22g of sugar, and 9g of instant yeast in a bowl. Stir the mixture and let it sit until it becomes frothy.
  • STEP 2
    In a large bowl, mix 225g of all-purpose flour, 225g of bread flour, and 9g of salt. Then add the activated yeast mixture and 45g of softened unsalted butter to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  • STEP 3
    Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a buttered bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
  • STEP 4
    After the first rise, gently punch down the dough to release air. Shape it to fit your greased baking pan, and place the dough in the pan, covering it with the lid. Let it rise again in a warm place until it doubles in size once more.
  • STEP 5
    If using the optional egg wash, beat 1 egg and brush it over the surface of the dough before placing the lid on the pan. Preheat your HYSapientia Air Fryer Oven to 160°C (320°F).
  • STEP 6
    Bake the bread with the lid on for 25-35 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
