Bread #3 Batch Loaf

This loaf is sweet for a undecorated bread, sort of like the popular Hawaiian Rolls, and adapted by me from Paul Hollywood's 100 Great Breads

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1¼ cups warm (110-120° F.) water

Instructions
 

  • Combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
  • Mix in the butter with your hands until it's incorporated. Mix Kitchen Aid couldn't manage this very well.
  • Pour in the warm water and mix well.
  • Knead for 5 minutes. It'll be sticky, and you can add flour, but not too much flour. Sticky dough makes a nice loaf.
  • Let rest for 1 hour. The dough did not seem to rise at all. My house is a bit cold so I put it in the oven.
  • Form the dough into a ball and place on baking sheet. I didn't cover it. Let rise 1-2 hours (if you haven't read my comment above, I KNOW this is vague) until the dough seems to have doubled. Mine was flat but rose and puffed up quite a bit after baking.
  • Bake 400°F. for about 40 minutes.
