ingredients

• 5 cups bread flour
• 1⁄2 cup cake flour
• 10 g dry active yeast
• 1⁄4 cup powdered milk
• 2⁄3 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 1⁄3 cups 2% low-fat milk
• 1 1⁄2 cups whipping cream (heavy cream)

directions

1. Mix all the ingredients in the bowl of an electric stand-mixer. Remember separate the yeast from salt and sugar to avoid the dehydration.
2. Knead until gluten is fully developed and the dough is elastic, smooth, non-sticky and leaves from sides of mixing bowl. Cover with a damp towel and allow the dough to ferment until double in size, about 60 minutes.
3. Take out the dough and press out the gas produced during the proof. Divide it into 4 portions. Round up and let rest for about 20 minutes.
4. Roll each dough out and roll up and place in a 13x33x12 cm loaf pan. After shaping, let the dough rise up to 2/3 full. Brush with egg wash or milk. Bake in a preheated 170C/340F oven for about 40 minutes.
