I discovered this Swiss Sunday Zopf bread when I was visiting friends in Switzerland. One of these friends is a pastry chef. The measurements given to me were metric, so I had to convert them. This makes a beautiful loaf and is super easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1 1/3 cups warm milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3 ½ cups bread flour
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
Dissolve yeast in warm milk in a large bowl. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Add egg yolk, butter, then 2 cups bread flour; stir well to combine. Stir in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces and roll each piece into a 14-inch long cylinder. Braid the pieces together and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step 3
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Step 4
Beat together egg white and water in a small bowl. Brush risen loaf with egg wash and bake in preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25.
