No, this recipe no have milk. I followed this one, but I added grated lemon peel as extra liao .. I only made half the amount i.e. 250g flour.

It was late last night and I wanted oomph, so I proofed in turned off oven with a bowl of hot water placed next to the dough. But still kept to the proofing time. I find the amount of butter is too little. I plan to up the fat content next try.

Oh so is the fat from the butter not the fat from the milk giving you the soft crust. No crispy crust liao...

Hmm just did a quick google for this.

Adding fat to dough (olive oil/butter) will 

a) Get a denser crumb. less airy crumb. Reduce gluten formation (that's why cakes are cakes and breads are breads among one thing)
b) Softer, less dry due to above. Also doesn't get stale so easily

Ha ha .. yeah .. fat from the butter. The crust is soft and chewy .. but I think can be softer, that's why I'd like to up the fat content just a bit next time.

Yeah .. I think there's a compromise between strength and softness. Can't have both. There was a fruit and nut loaf that I baked a long time ago which has 120ml milk + 100g butter with 400g flour. The fat ratio is very high. It's a Sicilian enriched bread from Paul Hollywood. The crust was very soft.

I baked it in a cake tin so it looks like a cake .. lol!

You can see from the sides that it has a soft bread kind of texture instead of the hearty artisanal bread/sourdough.

Here's a look inside.
