Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp / 10g) active dry yeast
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups warm milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- Pinch of salt
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
How to make the Fluffy Sweet Bread:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 3 cups of flour and the packet of yeast. Set aside.
- In a blender, combine the 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups of warm milk, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of oil. Add a pinch of salt and, if desired, a little grated Parmesan cheese.
- Blend for approximately 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated. The dough will have a soft, batter-like consistency, which is perfectly normal.
- Grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and transfer the dough into the pan.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil and a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm. Let the dough rest for at least one hour, or until it has noticeably risen.
- After resting, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the bread for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick or knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
- Optionally, brush the top with a little butter and sprinkle with extra grated Parmesan for an extra layer of flavor.
Tips:
This bread dough isn’t overly salty due to the added sugar, so don’t worry about adding that extra touch of Parmesan. The soft, pillowy texture will make it absolutely irresistible!
