👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Preheat oven to 360°F (180°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter or vegetable oil.
💡 プロのコツ: Using vegetable oil for greasing can prevent butter from burning.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined.
💡 プロのコツ: Whisking the dry ingredients helps distribute the leavening agent and spices evenly.
3
Add the melted butter, milk, and beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough begins to form.
💡 プロのコツ: The dough will be slightly stiff and may seem dry at first.
4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and homogenous. Be careful not to over-knead.
💡 プロのコツ: Kneading develops gluten, giving the bread structure. Over-kneading can make it tough.
5
Press the dough evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
💡 プロのコツ: Smooth the top of the dough with lightly floured hands or a spatula.
6
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The loaf should sound hollow when tapped.
💡 プロのコツ: Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
7
Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely, or slice and serve warm with butter.
💡 プロのコツ: Veldt bread is best enjoyed warm with a generous amount of butter.
