Step 1

Into the bowl of your stand mixer, measure out all the ingredients, with salt being adding last.

Step 2

Get the mixing started with a wooden spoon or spatula, then move over to the stand mixer and start mixing on speed 2 with a dough hook attachment. Do this for about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides periodically to incorporate all the dough and encourage even mixing.

Step 3

Then turn up the speed to 3-4 and continue kneading for around 10-15min. Until you have a dough that can be stretched really thin without tearing. It needs to pass the windowpane test.

Step 4

Then pull the dough into a smooth, tight ball and put into bowl to rise covered with plastic wrap or a lid. This will take anywhere between 1-2 hours, depending on the conditions in your home.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen and doubled in size. You will be able to poke a hole in the centre and it won't deflate or push back.

Step 6

Remove the dough and divide into 6 equal pieces or around 165g each. Pull each piece into a smooth ball again and leave it to rest for 10min under plastic wrap.

Step 7

Once rested, take out one ball at a time and roll it out into an oval. Fold it onto itself like a letter and return it under the plastic wrap as you work on the other ones.

Step 8

When all the dough balls have been pre-shaped, go back to the first one and roll that out vertically into a rectangle. Then roll it into a cylinder by rolling toward you will pressing downward to create surface tension.Pinch the ends to close and place the shaped rolls into the pan with the seam side down.

Step 9

Repeat the above process 5 more time and you'll have 2 loafs of 3 dough rolls each. Leave those to rise covered or uncovered for the second time.

Step 10

This will take between 1-1.5hrs. When the doughs have risen to fill about 75-80% of the pan, you'll know it's ready for the oven.

Step 11

Brush the tops with egg wash or cream and put them into a preheated 200C/ 392F oven around 30min. Cover the tops with tin foil half way through the cooking to prevent over browning.

Step 12

Once baked, remove from pan immediately and leave it on wire racks to cool.
