CRANBERRY WOOL BREAD

My niece Minelle Vithlani posted this wool bread and shared the recipe. Thank you Minelle.

2 cups white flour

1 cup milk warm

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter

1 1/2 tablespoons milk powder

2 teaspoons yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons milk ( for later use,brushing on top of the bread)

In a bowl activate the yeast,sugar and milk. stir all well and set on the side for 10 minutes.

In a large bawl place flour, salt and milk powder mix well. Add the yeast mixture to the flour mix and knead well for at least 15 minutes. The dough will be sticky at this point, so scrap and keep kneading until the daugh form a ball. Place into the large bowl, cover with cling wrap and allow to rest for about 2 hours in a warm place. Will see the daugh has risen. Dust your hands with dry flour and punch the daugh down and knead it slightly, divide into 5 equal parts and prepare small balls tucking in. Roll each ball into an oval shape, with the help of the sharp knife, cut thin strips ( shown in the video.) On the top side, sprinkle handful of chopped cranberrys and raisins and roll. Place each roll into the greased round baking tray and cover with damp cloth, let prove for about one hour. Brush gently  the top of the bread with milk and bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until golden brown at 300 degrees. Remove from the oven, allow to cool just little,loosen the sides with the help of a knife and place on a cooling rack.
