Tools
What we need to make the
- 1 Loaf Pan 11×3 inches
- 1 Stand Mixer or the Bimby
Steps
Dough in the stand mixer
Warm the water and milk in a pot, and dissolve the yeast.
Then, while the stand mixer is moving, gradually add the flour and knead.
Once these ingredients are combined, you can also add honey and sugar, then after a few moments, the salt and oil.
Form a dough ball, and at this point, you’ll notice that the dough is firm. It’s all good
Oil a container, or use parchment paper, or on the floured work surface, place the dough ball inside and let it rest for 1 hour.
After this hour, take it back, do another set of folds, let it rest for another hour, and repeat the folds.
Now wait for it to double in size
Once the dough has doubled, you need to roll it out with a rolling pin to form a rectangle about 0.4 inches thick.
Now you need to roll it starting from the shorter side of the dough, which should match the length of the container where you will bake it.
Place it back inside, and wait for it to double again. Brush the entire surface with milk and oil, sprinkle with seeds, and bake
at 356°F for about 40-50 minutes, in a preheated static oven, until golden brown.
Once baked, remove it from the pan and leave it for another ten minutes without the pan in the off oven with the door open to ensure it dries well at the base.

Pour the water, milk, yeast, honey, and sugar into the bowl. 3 min at 98.6°F speed 1
