Ingredients
- 250 g farine tout usage
- 75 g sucre
- 75 g beurre doux, fondu
- 150 ml lait tiède
- 10 g levure sèche active
- 2 œufs
- 1 cuillère à café extrait de vanille
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar for about 10 minutes until the mixture is pale and airy.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth and combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour and yeast. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture alternately with the warm milk, starting with the flour and avoiding over-mixing.
- Pour the batter into a 23 cm (9 inch) round cake pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
