Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk (90℉)
  • 2 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar (30g)
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast (11g)
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt (12g)
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 1 egg white (beaten, for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let bloom for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a stand mixer bowl, mix bread flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and beaten eggs, knead on low speed for 3 to 5 minutes until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Incorporate cold butter and knead for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until smooth.
  4. Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough, divide into six pieces (approx. 140g each), and shape into balls.
  6. Roll each ball into a rectangle (9 inches wide by 5 inches tall) about ¼ to ½ inch thick. Roll tightly from the long side into a loaf shape and pinch seams to seal.
  7. Place seam-side down on parchment-lined baking sheets. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 400°F while the dough rises.
  9. Mix egg white and water; brush over loaves. Score each loaf three times with a sharp knife.
  10. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown or internal temperature reaches 195 – 200°F. Cool completely before slicing.
