Hi Mizzy, thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you liked the bread..oh yes dough is so funny, behaving differently in different weathers I think - my bread always rises well in the oven though but thanks for your tip, I shall try that next time!

mizzy - thanks for the feedback! I'm so glad you loved the bread. It's so funny, bread dough is a finicky thing hehe - my dough always rises in the oven beautifully. Thanks for sharing the tip though, I shall try that next time and I'm sure my readers can benefit from your tip as well :)

I tried this and it was so good and fluffy! I cheated and used magimix to knead it.
I also proof my yeast by warming the milk first and mixing it. Then i added all the rest of the liquid ingredients.

I find that with all bread, you also need to let it rise 3 times to its full size. Unlike cakes, it doesn't rise anymore once it's in the oven. I put my dough inside a warm oven with a bowl of boiling underneath. My dough always raises beautifully that way no matter if the weather outside is cold :)

Hope that helps.

Toasted raisin bread with a smear of butter. That's one of my fave ways to start the day. Your loaf looks incredible, too -- so airy and high.

Cheah - you're right on the sticky dough! I just persevered and added as little extra flour as I could and luckily it turned out alright :)

I tried using the tangzhong method thrice and failed. Now after seeing other blogs using this method, think I'll give it another shot! Somehow I find that the dough is truly too soft to handle, gets all sticky and just can't help loading in more flour!
