This recipe creates a beautifully layered, buttery bread loaf that rivals anything made by a professional bakery. The combination of rich butter and delicate dough creates a tender, flaky texture that is simply irresistible. The process of rolling and folding the dough multiple times ensures that you achieve those perfect layers, similar to what you would find in machine-made puff pastry bread.
Ingredients:
500g bread flour
50g sugar
10g yeast
80g unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
250ml milk
10g salt
300g unsalted butter (for folding)
Directions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, sugar, and yeast.
Add the melted butter, eggs, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until no dry flour is visible.
Knead the dough roughly for 5 minutes. Then, add the salt and continue kneading for another 7 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Rest and Refrigerate: 4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 30 minutes. 5. After 30 minutes, knead the dough again until it is smooth. 6. Shape the dough into a slightly flattened square, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
Prepare the Butter: 7. The next day, fold a piece of baking paper into a square measuring 16×20 cm. 8. Place the 300g butter inside the paper square and spread it evenly. Refrigerate until the butter is firm.
