🍞 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and seeds.
- Add warm milk, melted butter, and the egg.
- Mix until a dough forms.
2️⃣ Knead
- Knead 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Dough should be soft and slightly tacky but not sticky.
- Add 1–2 tbsp flour only if needed.
3️⃣ First Rise (Proofing)
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let rise 1 hour or until doubled.
4️⃣ Shape the Loaf
- Punch down gently.
- Roll into a loaf shape.
- Place into a greased loaf pan.
5️⃣ Second Rise
- Cover and let rise again for 35–45 minutes, until the loaf rises above the edge of the pan.
6️⃣ Seed Topping
- Brush the top with egg wash.
- Sprinkle generously with seeds of your choice.
7️⃣ Bake
- Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 28–35 minutes.
- The top should be golden, and the bread should sound hollow when tapped.
🌟 Tips for Extra Moist Bread
- Replace half the milk with yogurt for even softer bread.
- Add 1 tbsp honey for extra moisture and flavor.
- Make a mix of milk + butter to brush on after baking for a glossy, soft top.
