After this time, observe if the dough is sticking at the bottom, if not, add more 20g of milk and mix it for 5 minutes. The correct dough point is when a part of the dough is sticking at the bottom.

In medium speed beat the dough for 15~20 minutes. The dough must pass the window pane.

Make a ball, cover it, and let the dough rest for 45 minutes at 26°C.

Divide the dough in 3 parts. Make small balls and put then together and press it. The idea is to them glue together. Put it on a tray already with some oil on the bottom and press the dough surface.

Make a deep cut lengthwise. The cut should reach almost the bread base. Let it raise for 45 minutes.
