Star Bread

1 cup fresh milk
4 cups bread flour
1 packet of yeast 7-8 g
1/3 cup powdered milk
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg

Extra
butter
sugar

Warm the milk in the microwave or into a stove( make sure that the temperature of the milk is blood temperature if its to hot the yeast will die)
Add 1 tbsp of sugar into the milk and then add the yeast, mix and set aside for 5-10 minutes or until the yeast is bubbly.

Meanwhile combine the bread flour, salt powdered milk and sugar mix and set aside aswell.

Melt the butter.

When the yeast is ready we can begin the  kneading process. In the video I used my stand mixer to knead the dough but you can use your hand to do the kneading process.

Combine the yeast mixture with egg, melted butter and then add half of the flour mixture first ( once the flour is absorb by the liquid add the rest of the flour (  every flour is different you might need more or less flour just check the consistency of the dough should not be sticky or not to dry)

Knead the dough for about 6-8 minutes or until the dough is elastic and smooth.
Form the dough into a ball and place it inside a bowl with a little bit of oil on it. (Don't forget to roll the dough ball into the oil).
Cover the bowl with cling wrap and let it sit in a warm spot for an hour.

*After an hour we are ready to divide the dough ( dough will not double in size so don't be alarmed).
Divide the dough about 50 g each.
Form each dough into a ball and let it rest in a warm spot again for 30 minutes.

Pre heat the oven at 180 deg C

After 30 minutes using a kitchen scissors make a cut on the top center of the dough starting from the middle then on each side thus creating a star cut. ( don't cut to deep that you end up cutting the dough in half).

I provided a link for the video to serve as a reference.

Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with extra sugar.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 deg C for about 12-15 minutes.

Enjoy :D
