Step 4: Second Rise and Baking
- Once the dough is in the loaf pan, cover it with a cloth and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, allowing the dough to puff up and fill the pan.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has risen, bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Once the bread has cooled, slice it to reveal the flaky, buttery layers inside. Whether you’re serving it for a family meal, as a side dish at a dinner party, or as a special treat for yourself, this Buttery Layered Bread is sure to impress.
Tips for Perfect Buttery Layered Bread:
- For Extra Flakiness: Use cold butter when making the filling. The cold butter will create distinct layers as the bread bakes, making it even flakier.
- Add Your Favorite Fillings: Feel free to experiment with different fillings. A sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar creates a sweet, cinnamon roll-like effect, while cheese and herbs give it a savory twist.
- Use a Stand Mixer: If you don’t want to knead the dough by hand, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. It will make the process quicker and easier.
- Don’t Skip the Second Rise: Allowing the dough to rise properly ensures your bread will be light and airy with a nice texture.
