Baking beginner easily kneads a glove-leather dough, making homemade fragrant and soft large toast

Prepare all the ingredients, and let the butter soften at room temperature.

Install the 304 dough hook on the stand mixer spindle.

Pour all ingredients except for the butter and salt into the chef machine's mixing bowl.

Set the time and gear on the control panel. Mix the ingredients on the second gear for two minutes. After two minutes, there is no dry powder on the surface.

After kneading at speed 3 for 8 minutes until a coarse gluten network forms, add butter and salt and continue kneading until the dough develops a gluten network.

Take out the dough and pull it apart to check it; if it stretches into a smooth, even, translucent 'windowpane,' using a stand mixer to knead the dough is really effortless!

Let the kneaded dough ferment until it doubles in size, then divide it into three equal portions. Shape them properly and place them into a loaf pan to continue fermenting until it is 70-80% full.

Put it in the oven to bake at 170°C for 30 minutes (adjust according to your own oven's characteristics), and the soft, fragrant toast is ready!
