This is the ridged, cylindrical loaf that I remember as a child back in the 60s and 70s.

You can use a breadmaker for the dough but to get its authentic shape you will need a [[:Category:Bread and baking#Loaf pans:|milk loaf tin]]. The ingredients are listed in the order in which you should add them to a Panasonic [[breadmaker]] and set to French [[bread]] dough setting. For the [[Panasonic SD-ZB2502 automatic breadmaker]] use menu option 21, French dough. For other makes, refer to your manufacturer's instructions and set to the longest dough programme, then continue from stage 4.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 7g easy [[Bake|bake]] [[Yeast|yeast]]
| 450g strong [[Plain flour|plain flour]]
| 1 tablespoon full-[[Fat|fat]] dried [[Milk powder|milk powder]]
| 2 tablespoons [[Sunflower oil|sunflower oil]]

| ½ teaspoon [[Salt|salt]]
| 270ml warm [[Milk|milk]]
}}

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod
| Mix the [[Flour|flour]], [[Salt|salt]], [[Yeast|yeast]] and [[Milk powder|milk powder]] in a bowl.
| Add the [[Milk|milk]] and [[Oil|oil]] and mix to a soft [[Dough|dough]], adding a little more [[Flour|flour]] if it is too wet.
| Knead for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth, springy and silky.
| Lightly, but thoroughly grease the [[Milk|milk]] loaf pan with an [[Oil|oil]] such as [[Groundnut|groundnut]] which is low in monounsaturates.
| Shape the [[Dough|dough]] into a cylinder the same length of the tin.
| Place the [[Dough|dough]] into the bottom of the tin, engage the tabs and clip the tin together.
| Set the tin aside in a [[warm place]] to allow the [[Bread|bread]] to rise - watch the [[Dough|dough]] through the small vision hole at the top.
| Heat the [[Oven|oven]] to 200° C (400° F - gas 6).
| As soon as the [[Dough|dough]] can be seen rising towards the hole, [[Bake|bake]] for 30 minutes ([[Fan-assisted oven|fan-assisted oven]]) or 35 minutes ([[Conventional oven|conventional oven]]).
| Allow the tin to cool for 2-3 minutes before unclipping and turn out onto a [[Cooling rack|cooling rack]].

===Chef's notes===
You can make this with fresh [[yeast]] if you wish, in which case allow 15g and dissolve it in the milk before use. This method is not suitable for [[breadmakers]]. For this recipe I used French bread flour from [[Wessexmill.co.uk|Wessex Mills]] but you can play around with various flours.
