Milk mares, milk white bread, just the way I like it!

To make the pre-dough, put the flour in a large bowl and form a well. Pour the dried yeast into the center and add about 3-4 tablespoons of warm milk. Then mix the yeast and milk together a little and place in the oven to rest. I only turned on the light. No temperature!! Let the pre-dough rise for 2 hours. This will give the dough a much better consistency. Now knead the remaining ingredients into the pre-dough and let the whole thing rest in the oven for another hour. Again, just turn on the light. Then knead the dough thoroughly again and place it in the baking pan. Or you can make free-form bread, which means you shape the dough and place it on a baking sheet lined with baking paper! I personally prefer the sheet with a little flour on the baking paper! You have to preheat the oven to 250°C beforehand. I use top and bottom heat, that’s how I’ve achieved the best results! Now cut the bread a few more times and moisten it a little with water. Then into the oven and steam vigorously for about 7-10 minutes! Then, VERY IMPORTANT, set the oven temperature to 180-190°C and bake for another 20-25 minutes! If you don’t lower the temperature, it will end up being like mine the first time: the bread will get a little darker. So keep an eye on the temperature and the color every now and then. A quick word about vanilla sugar. I used homemade because it has a lot more flavor than the machine-made kind. I like the flavor in the bread!! It’s more delicate and simply goes better with the bread!
