A tender, soft loaf, suitable for sandwiches, easy to slice. I made this with a paste on top to try and make a tiger loaf, the paste did not have the desired effect (therefore I don't include it here) but the loaf was lovely! You can of course, use milk and omit the milk powder, use full fat milk.
Makes a 2lb loaf.

Ingredients

284g warm water2 tbsp milk powder2 tbsp oil (I used sesame, but could not taste it)1 ½ tsp salt1 tsp sugar500g flour25g FRESH yeast
Method

In the mixing bowl, put milk/powder & water, oil, sugar and salt.Stir.Add flour and then crumble in the yeast.Knead well until the dough is soft and silky (about 6 min in a mixer).Remove dough from bowl, grease bowl and return dough, turning in the bowl to coat in oil.Cover and leave till doubled in bulk, about an hour, depending on warmth of room.Remove from bowl onto counter top, and pre shape by flattening, then forming into a log by folding the dough over on itself more than once. Tuck the seam under and place on the counter under the greased bowl.Rest dough for 20 min, turn over and shape again, this time putting into prepared tin.Cover lightly with greased film and leave for about 40 min until an inch above the tin.Put 1/4 cup water in a tin on base of oven.Preheat the oven to 240c (not fan) and bake for 20 min. Turn down to 200c and bake a further 10 min.Remove from tin to a wire rack.Cover with a wet towel and leave to cool. This will soften the crust to make it easier to slice.

How can I substitute instant yeast for the fresh yeast in your recipe?
Thanks

I'd try using 1tbsp of instant yeast. You can just add it to the rest of the ingredients or you can actually dissolve it in a small amount of the liquid to get it started.
