Well, I finally got around to making bread entirely by hand. I made a Swiss bread called zopf, also known as Sunday Bread. It's a very simple recipe, just flour, butter, salt, yeast, milk, and honey. Once it's all mixed up, it takes about two hours to raise.
Then, after about ten minutes of kneading the dough, you separate it into three sections and roll them out.
The three strands are then braided and coated with egg yolk. I had extra dough, so I made little knots of dough as well.
Bake for 40 minutes.
And enjoy!
It was a lot easier than I expected and quite tasty!
