Sugar and butter bread

I love the soft and sweet types of bread, I know that it's packed with a load of calories, but I just can't stop eating !!!

One of my favorite simple sweets is sugar and butter toast, only a slice of white bread toasted with sugar and butter, it can make me really, really happy.

So, this bread is a more delicious version of sugar and butter toast, hehe.

The bread has a soft texture (adding cake flour into the dough makes the bread texture softer than using only bread flour because the cake flour has lower protein) and it's easy to hand-knead. 

Anyway, if you don't want to use your hand, ^^, you can knead in the bread machine (or a stand mixer) too. 

For the filling and topping, I use salted butter for a more complex taste (you can use unsalted butter if you want) I love the combination of salty-sweet and butter-rich taste.

Using waffle sugar makes the bread more cute but if you don't have it, simple granulate sugar can be replaced.
