Instructions

Blend the cooked rice with the milk in a blender until smooth and pourable.
Mix the flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a mixer bowl. Add the rice-milk mixture and knead on medium 5 minutes, then add the butter and knead 6 minutes more until smooth and elastic.
Cover and let rise 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled.
Press the air out of the dough, shape into a loaf and place in a greased 8 x 4-inch loaf pan, seam side down.
Cover and rise 45 minutes, until the dough domes about 1 inch above the rim.
Heat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Bake 32 to 36 minutes, until golden and the center reads 195 F (90 C).
Brush the top with melted butter, turn out and cool on a rack before slicing.

Tips

Use short-grain or sushi rice for the softest result.
The dough will feel tackier than regular bread dough; resist adding extra flour.
Cool completely before slicing.
Good with butter and jam.
