Festive German Bread Recipe
What a wonderful airy bread! Soft, tender crumb and fragrant toasted crust! Mmmm... It's amazing! I recommend it, dear chefs! There is nothing complicated in cooking, the most difficult thing is to wait for these 30 minutes of baking. I can't stop looking at these puffs while they cool down.

Ingredients
For the dough:
- 20 gram Yeast pressed
- 2 pieces Chicken eggs
- 3 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 60 gram Butter
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 560-600 gram Flour wheat / Flour
for greasing:
- 1 piece Chicken egg
- 1 teaspoon Milk
For sprinkling:
- Sesame seeds to taste
- Poppy seeds to taste
Instructions
- In 50 ml of warm milk, dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar, add yeast and leave until foam caps form.
- In the remaining warm milk, dissolve the remaining sugar, butter, and mix. Add the eggs, yeast mixture and mix again.
- Add salt and flour, knead the dough. Pour the flour carefully, because it may need less. It took me a little less than 550 g to knead the dough for 10 minutes.
- The dough will turn out smooth and very plastic. Put it in a container greased with vegetable oil, tighten with a film and leave it in a warm place for 1.5-2 hours. Since it's cold, I put it in the oven under the light.
- Divide the dough that has come up into 18 parts. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment and leave for another 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 200 *C 15-20 minutes before baking.
- Spread the bread, brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds and poppy seeds.
- Bake until cooked for 30-40 minutes, the first 10 minutes for a couple. Leave the bread to cool on the grill. Enjoy your meal!
