Prep Time 1 hour 45 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 10 minutes
Servings 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • Mulgore spices 1/2 teaspoon each ground cardamom, ginger, cinnamon; pinch each ground cloves, mace
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 3 cups flour

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the warm milk, brown sugar, and the yeast, and allow to sit for about 5 minutes, until frothy. Add the spices and salt, followed by the butter and half the flour. Gradually add the remaining flour until the dough comes together and pulls away from the side of the bowl.
  2. Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes, until it bounces back when poked. Place in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a tea towel. Allow to rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size. Punch the dough back down.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pulling the sides of the dough, gradually shape it into an oblong loaf. Place this on a sheet of parchment paper on top of a baking sheet, and allow to rise for 30 minutes. Using a sharp knife, slash a few decorative marks on the top of the dough, then bake for about 25 minutes.
