Ingredients:::

For the starter:::

1/3 Cup All purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Milk

For the Bread flour:::

4 Cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup Sugar
2 tbsp. Yeast
1 tsp.Salt
2 eggs + 1 Extra to use as egg wash
1/2 cup Milk (you can mix powdered milk with water)
4 tbsp. Butter/Margarine

Directions:::
Making the starter
Step 1: In a medium sized saucepan, dissolve 1/3 Cup of Flour with 1/2 Cup of Milk.
Heat up on low heat while stirring continuously till it thickens. Set this aside. This is
one of the secrets to making very soft bread.

Making the bread dough

Step 2: In a dry medium sized bowl, Add the Flour, Salt, Sugar and Yeast. Mix to
combine

Step 3: Crack the eggs open in a small bowl and whisk. Combine the whisked eggs
with the milk and mix.

Step 4: Add the Butter or margarine into the flour mixture and work into it with your
hands till it gets crumbly. Gently pour in the milk and egg mixture and the starter in
Step1 above and work into it by kneading on a smooth flat surface to form a non
sticky dough. If the dough feels sticky, add some more flour till it's no longer sticky.

Step 5: Place the dough in a bowl and cover with a cloth. Leave to stand for about 1
hour. By the time you remove the covering, the dough would have doubled in size.
Punch into the dough and Knead Once more.

Step 6: Pluck a large chunk of the dough, roll into a ball and flatten it out on a
surface. Fold the round flattened dough into two by joining the two edges together
then roll up into a ball once more. Repeat this for the rest of the batch

Step 7: Grease the baking pan with butter or margarine and place the dough into
the pan as shown below. Cover once more and leave to rise for another 30 minutes.
For a round loaf of bread shape, use a round pan. For a rectangular bread shape,
use a rectangular loaf pan.

Step 8: Once the covering is removed, it'd have doubled in size once more. Whisk
the extra egg and brush over the top of the risen bread dough. This gives it a glossy
shine

Step 9: Bake in the oven at 350 for about 45 minutes. The top of the bread would
be browned once it's ready as shown. Turn out to cool on a wire rack. Do not leave it
in the baking pan as it has the tendency to sweat after a while and that would make
the bread soggy.
