OUSSA


 

1️⃣ Mix the Dough

  1. In a stand mixer with a dough hook, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.

  2. Add egg, warm milk, and vanilla. Mix on low until combined.

  3. Add softened butter 1 tbsp at a time, kneading for 8-10 mins until smooth and elastic.

2️⃣ First Rise

  • Shape into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1-1.5 hours until doubled.

3️⃣ Shape & Second Rise

  1. Punch down dough and divide into 3 equal parts.

  2. Roll each into a log and place in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  3. Cover and rise 45-60 mins until puffy.

4️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Brush with egg wash (if using).

  • Bake 25-30 mins until deep golden and internal temp reaches 190°F (88°C).

  • Cool 10 mins in pan, then transfer to a wire rack.

Pro Tips

🌡️ Milk temp matters! Too hot kills yeast; too cold slows rising.
🍞 Extra-soft crust: Brush with melted butter after baking.
🌀 No stand mixer? Hand-knead for 12-15 mins until smooth.
