mango jam bread

I baked this loaf of bread using homemade mango jam. You can substitute with any other jam of your preference.

I baked the bread on a saturday and on the tuesday after, the bread was still very soft when left in our bread container without refrigeration.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup butter (softened)

1/4 cup fine sugar

1 cup warm milk

2 eggs (lightly beaten)

1 1/2 tsp fine salt

2 tbsp mango jam

4 cups bread flour

2 1/4 tsp instant dry yeast

METHOD

1. Place all the ingredients (except the bread flour and yeast) in the bucket of the breadmaker machine.

2. Add the bread flour, making sure that the wet ingredients are totally covered.

3. Add the yeast.

4. Place the bucket in the breadmaker machine and set to "dough" cycle. Start the cycle.

5. When the cycle has been completed, turn the dough onto a floured board. Using floured hands, knead the dough for 5 minutes.

6. Place the dough in a loaf pan that has been greased and lined with baking paper. Spread out the dough such that it touches the sides of the loaf pan.

7. Cover the loaf pan with a dry cloth and leave for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.

8. Bake in an oven preheated to 185 degrees celsius for 35 minutes.
