cornflakes bread

This is the first time that I have added cornflakes to bread dough. I usually use cornflakes to bake cookies.

MIL gave the thumbs up when she tried a slice of the bread on the day that I baked it. The bread was very soft but easy to slice.

While MIL ate one slice of bread on its own and another slice of bread with margarine, FIL sandwiched a slice of bak kwa between two slices of bread and ate the bread as bak kwa sandwich.

INGREDIENTS

200g cold water

25g castor sugar

10g instant milk powder

20g butter (softened)

5g salt

300g bread flour

5g instant dry yeast

1/2 cup cornflakes

METHOD

1. Place all the ingredients (except the bread flour, yeast and cornflakes) 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. Five minutes after the cycle has started, open the lid of the breadmaker machine and add the cornflakes without stopping the cycle. Replace the lid.

6. When the cycle has been completed, turn the dough onto a floured board. Using floured hands, knead the dough about 5 times.

7. Transfer the dough into 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.

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

9. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees celsius for 30 minutes.
