Ingredients:
1.5 cups of milk (300ml)
1 packet of dry yeast (5.5gr)
2 tablespoons of sugar (35gr)
60g of melted and cooled butter
1 teaspoon of salt (7g)
5 cups of flour (500gr)
Mozzarella cheese (amount as desired)
For the brush: 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon of milk
Instructions:
Activate the Yeast: Warm the milk slightly, then dissolve the sugar and dry yeast in it. Let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture with the melted and cooled butter. Add salt and gradually incorporate the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, covering it with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the Bread: Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Shape the dough into your desired form. If you’re adding Mozzarella cheese, you can incorporate it into the dough now or stuff individual portions as desired.
Second Rise: Place the shaped dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and let it rise again until puffy, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
Egg Wash: Just before baking, gently brush the top of the bread with the egg yolk and milk mixture. This will give it a beautiful golden finish.
Baking: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cooling: Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature, perfect for any time of the day!
