1) In a bowl, add bread flour, milk, dried yeast, sugar, egg, stir together, a pinch of salt, and butter, kneading dough by hand about 10 minutes or until it is smooth and elastic and greased the same bowl, cover with cling film and rise in the warm oven for 30 minutes to 1 hour until the dough had doubled in size. or you can also refrigerate over night. It's often easier to refrigerate for the first proof. The process is called cold fermentation, and it slows down the activity.

3) Transfer dough to a lightly oiled or lightly floured surface.

Helpful Tips: 1) Why is my dough getting stickier while kneading? If dough is over-kneaded, it could be causing the gluten structures to actually break down or when the protein content of the flour used is unsuitable for bread. The dough gets stickier and starts to tear a lot. If it is a very wet dough, like a very high hydration, it might be more appropriate to stretch and fold rather than trying to knead it by sprinkle some flour on it. 2) These bread are best eaten within a day. Leftover breads can store in an freezer bag and seal tightly or airtight bag. It can also be frozen for up to 1 month. If you prefer toasted bread, you can toast bread slices straight from frozen. 3) Yeast is best stored in the refrigerator, as the fungud in it will be killed at high temperatures. Before using yeast check the production date and storage life of your yeast. Refrigerate it as soon as possible after each use. The main cause of bread falling to rise is bad yeast. 4) It's recommended to use an oven thermometer. 5) If it's a winter day, the common problem is that dough won't rise. Ideal rise temperatures are between 35°C-37°C. Using a warm oven by turn your oven on and off or with boiled water on the underneath to help your dough rise perfectly.
