Sugar-topped Honey Bread With Homemade Yeast

• 250 grams Bread flour
• 10 grams Skim milk powder
• 4 grams Salt
• 100 grams Homemade natural yeast starter
• 1 Egg yolk
• 140 ml combined with egg yolk Water
• 30 grams Honey
• 5 grams Vegetable oil or shortening
• 5 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp Granulated sugar for the topping
• 10 grams Butter for the topping

1. Combine the dry ingredients and mix together with a whisk.
2. Measure the egg yolk and water in a measuring cup, add the honey to that, and mix together.
3. Combine all of the ingredients except the shortening and butter and mix until the lumps have lessened.
4. Knead for 15 minutes with a bread maker or kneader.
5. Stop when it forms a film.
6. Cut the dough into 10 parts with a scraper, return to the kneader, add in shortening and butter, and knead for 10 minutes.
7. Once a film has formed, remove the dough.
8. Form into a ball, smoothing the outside.
9. Place in a plastic bag or container and let rise overnight at room temperature, until it's 2~2.5 times as large.
10. (Time will vary depending on room temperature)
11. It will finish rising in about 10 hours if in a cool place near a window.
12. It will rise more quickly if in a warm place.
13. It's also possible to adjust the time by putting it in the fridge.
14. The next morning, deflate the risen dough by folding it, divide into 9 portions, round and smooth.
15. Cover with cling wrap and let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
16. After resting, deflate with your hand, round and smooth the surface of the dough well, and firmly close the seam.
17. Arrange in a greased bread pan.
18. Let rise for a second time, using the bread-rising setting of the oven for 1~2 hours at 30C until it reaches about 1 cm from the lip of the pan.
19. Cover with cling wrap or a damp towel to prevent drying.
20. After rising, preheat the oven to 190C.
21. Melt the butter in a double boiler (or microwave) and coat the dough evenly.
22. Sprinkle a generous amount of granulated sugar on top of that.
23. In the preheated oven, bake at 190C for 17~18 minutes.
24. Once it turns golden brown, cover with aluminum foil.
25. Once it's done, drop the pan from a height of about 30 cm to release steam, remove from pan, and cool on a rack.
26. To enjoy the crunchy sugar, it's best to eat when freshly baked or just cooled.
27. If you cover it with cling wrap, it will stick.
28. When using non-domestic flour, I think it's fine to add 10 ml more water.
29. That will preserve the softness and moistness.
