Finally got the balance right. It was a struggle to get the balance right … tried all sorts of variants before this one worked.
Recipe
1/2 cup of water
20ml of vegetable oil
45 ml of milk
teaspoon of salt
tablespoon of sugar
2 and 1/4 cups of bread flour
teaspoon of instant yeast
The flour was 100% unmixed. Overall, a pleasing result. Not burned, nice texture. Will try reducing the sugar to half tablespoon to see if I can control the browning. And I may try using butter, not vegetable oil.
Pretty nice.
Cut out the milk powder, used fresh milk instead, reduced the sugar by 1/3 and oiled the pan. That combined with the new flour was enough to get a decent loaf of home-made bread!
