Man Does Not Live by Bread Alone?!

I love bread!… I can eat bread anytime, I can eat it everyday…
Unfortunately here in Palma almost all bread are pre-frozen baguettes. And when I want to buy some real bread I have to go to some pueblo out of town.
Yesterday I’ve prepared these almond breads to bake early today:
There’s nothing like a buttered hot scent…

Almond breads
Makes 20:
500 g all-purpose flour
25 g yeast
60 g butter
50 g light brown sugar
5 g salt
250 ml de leite morno
50 ml warm water
50 g almonds, finely chopped
Cinnamon

In the mixer, combine all the ingredients together with the dough hook attachment and the yeast dissolved in the milk.
Mix for 10 minutes at medium speed.

Place the dough into a bowl covered with a cloth or wrap film, in a tempered place (24ºC) for 1 hour or until it doubles its size.

Fold gently.
Place the dough into a greased loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with wrap film and let it rest again, in a tempered place, for 50 minutes or until it doubles its size.

Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC.
Bake for 35 minutes.

    I agree, bread is the best! With a smear of good, salted butter….Hummm… There are lots of nice places to buy good bread here in Seattle, thankfully!
