Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 5–1/2 cups bread flour
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare the yeast mixture by combining warm water, sugar, and powdered ginger in a bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit until frothy.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, mix together warm milk and vegetable oil. Add the activated yeast mixture.
- Gradually add salt and flour until a dough forms; adjust flour as needed until not sticky.
- Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for about an hour or until doubled.
- Punch down the dough gently, divide into two portions, shape into loaves, and place in greased loaf pans. Let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Brush tops with melted butter when done.
