Fino Bread

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup milk (warm)

1/4 cup warm water

1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons oil

1 tablespoon butter (chilled)

Directions

In a bowl, add the milk, sugar, water and yeast. Mix and leave aside for 10 minutes.
Add the rest of the ingredients except the butter. Knead for 10 minutes. The dough will be sticky but will start to come together and get firmer. You can use the pull and bang method. Grab the dough in your hand then bang it on the working surface, pull it and bang again, this is another way to knead a sticky dough.
Now you should have a soft, little sticky, but smooth dough. Add the butter to the dough and knead for 5 more minutes, the dough should come together nicely.
Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 and a half to two hours. Shape the dough into six equal balls.
Roll each ball to 6” wide and 9” long, you shouldn’t need to dust the working surface with flour. Roll into a 9” log and place on baking sheet.
Cover the logs and let it rise again for one hour.
Preheat oven 400•f bake for 10 min.
Place the loaves on a cooling rack.
