👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

   💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the water is warm, not hot, as it can kill the yeast.
2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the softened lard or butter and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. 3

   Pour the activated yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

4. 4

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5. 5

   Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

   💡 전문가 팁: A slightly humid and warm environment is ideal for rising. You can place the bowl in a slightly warm oven that has been turned off.
6. 6

   Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a round or oval loaf. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

7. 7

   Cover the loaf again and let it rest for another 20-30 minutes.

8. 8

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Brush the top of the loaf with the beaten egg wash.

9. 9

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

10. 10

    Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
