👨‍🍳 步驟

1. 1

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

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Make a well in the center.

   💡 專業提示: Ensure salt is evenly distributed
3. 3

   Pour the yeast mixture and melted butter into the well. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

   💡 專業提示: Start mixing from the center outwards
4. 4

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

   💡 專業提示: Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky
5. 5

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

6. 6

   Punch down the dough. Gently knead in the grated cheese, chopped dill, parsley, and caraway seeds (if using).

   💡 專業提示: Be gentle to avoid overworking the dough
7. 7

   Shape the dough into a round loaf or place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

8. 8

   Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Brush the top of the loaf with the beaten egg wash.

9. 9

   Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

   💡 專業提示: Rotate the loaf halfway through baking for even browning
10. 10

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