Classic White Bread Loaf

I followed a Recipe too make this - before I was just about too put it in the oven - I slit the raw bread dough with a long sharp knife - 3 time's from the top and then I put some Pasteurised milk inside the cap of the carton of milk and then I dabbed milk with my finger over the top of the raw bread too give a milk wash and then I covered some bread flour over the top and then placed in the oven - I baked for 30 minutes - it was cooked,could not be sure that the bottom of the bread sounded hollow,so I put my long wide - sharp knife in the bottom of the bread,too see if the knife would come out clear and it did - I used the nexted,sized baking tin,up - but I could have possibly baked the bread for another 10 minutes.
