Cafe au Lait Sultana Bread

Ingredients
100ml water
70ml fresh milk
250g strong white bread flour
5g (1tbsp) instant coffee granules
32g (4tbsp) sugar (I used light brown sugar)

5g (1tsp) salt
15g butter
3g (1tsp) dried yeast
50g sultanas

Method

• Put all the the ingredients (except the sultanas) in order into the breadmaker, sprinkling the sugar around the outside and making a well in the flour for the yeast so that it doesn't come into contact with the other ingredients.
• Put the sultanas into the separate compartment.
• Set the breadmaker to dough setting.
• Once finished, turn out the dough onto a floured board.  Divide into 8 portions, shape into rounds and put onto an oiled baking tray.  Cover with cling film and keep on the work surface to prove a little more.
• Pre-heat the oven to 200C, bake for 20 minutes.  Turn out onto a wire rack to cool, then pack into a freezer bag to freeze.

OK, the first bread I made worked a treat!  This was following the recipe in the manual for 'wholemeal bread' almost exactly.  Not exactly wholemeal bread, but it worked very well and was very tasty!
