๐ง ์ฌ๋ฃ
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 250 ml Milk(lukewarm)
- 50 g Butter(softened)

- 1
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tsp of sugar in lukewarm milk. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
- 3
Pour the yeast mixture and softened butter into the well. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- 5
Punch down the dough and divide it into three equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope (about 18-20 inches long).
- 6
Braid the three ropes together, pinching the ends to seal. Place the braided loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- 7
Preheat oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Whisk together egg yolk and water for the egg wash. Brush the top of the Zopf with the egg wash.
- 8
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- 9
Let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

- โEnsure milk is lukewarm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
- โKneading is crucial for developing gluten, resulting in a soft texture.
- โAllow ample rising time in a warm, draft-free spot.
