Start by activating yeast. Take warm water, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Set aside for 5 mins so the yeast can activate. It will get foamy and bubbly.

Now to the foamy yeast mixture. Add in egg and oil. You can use melted butter instead of oil. mix well and Set aside.

Now in a stand mixer bowl, take flour, salt and mix well. Add in the yeast mixture and start kneading for 5 mins. The dough will be pretty soft and sticky. If you are using hands to knead, first use spoon to mix the water into the flour and then use your hands to knead. If you feel the dough is very sticky, you can sprinkle some flour into the dough and knead. Once the dough is mixed well, turn off the mixer and remove the bowl.

Finally add in 1 tsp oil into the dough and spread evenly. Cover and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours till double in size.

Now take your pullman loaf pan. Apply oil on it, don’t forget to grease the lid as well. Set this aside.

Now take the proofed dough, spread it evenly. Fold from both sides and fold from other side as well. So it forms into a ball like. Seam the ends together and gently remove it.

Place the seam side down into the loaf pan. Cover and let it rise for another 35 to 40 mins. The dough should rise till the top. There should be 1 inch gap between the lid so the bread gets it cube shape beautifully when baked.

Remove the pan from oven, let it cool for 30 mins. Un mould and let it cool completely for few hours before slicing.
