Basic Dough Recipe

1000 g or 8 c bread flour

200 g or 1 c sugar
10 g or 1 ¼ tbsp yeast
10 g or 1 ½ tbsp salt

120 g or ½ c milk powder
500 g or 1 ¾ c water

50 g or ½ c butter
5 g 1 tbsp bread improver (optional)

In a bowl, dissolve 1 ¼ tbsp sugar and yeast in warm milk. Let it stand
until foamy, about 10 minutes. In another bowl, sift together all the dry

ingredients and set aside.

Prepare a bigger bowl. Combine the yeast mixture and the flour
mixture, butter and water.

If kneading by hand, knead the dough on a floured surface. Spread the

dough and use your wrist to knead. Fold the dough as you knead and
form a round ball. Keep on kneading until the dough becomes elastic
and smooth to touch.

If using a machine, put all the ingredients and knead till the dough is
elastic and smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl covered with a damp cloth. Let it rise

for 1 ½ up to 2 hours.

Punch the dough to let out the air bubbles. Knead on a floured surface
and form into desired shapes.

Allow to rise for 30-45 minutes. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
