- Total time:2 hours 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 ounce active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 4 cups flour
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Directions
-
1.
In a small saucepan, heat milk to lukewarm. Place yeast in a large bowl. Pour milk over and let rest 10 minutes. Whisk in butter.
-
2.
Add sugar, salt and cardamom to bowl and whisk until combined. Add flour and stir until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, forming a ball.
-
3.
On a lightly floured surface, knead bread until smooth and elastic, five to ten minutes minutes. Cover with a kitchen towel and leave in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
-
4.
Punch dough to release air. Knead dough for five minutes. If making a plain loaf, shape dough into a round ball. Place loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a dish towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
-
5.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush the top of the loaf with the egg wash. Bake loaf until golden and sounds hollow when you tap the bottom, about 25 minutes.
