I love making bread, and you can't go wrong with this recipe. These tender, golden brown loaves have a great combination of seasonings on top that make them go well with pretty much any meal or sliced for sandwiches. —Traci Wynne, Denver, Pennsylvania
Ingredients
-
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
-
3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
-
1 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
-
1/4 cup sugar
-
1/4 cup butter, softened
-
1 egg, separated
-
2 teaspoons salt, divided
-
4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon water
-
1 teaspoon each poppy seeds, sesame seeds and caraway seeds
-
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
Directions
-
1.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugar, butter, egg yolk, 1-1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
-
2.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
-
3.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into two round loaves. Place each on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Beat egg white and water; brush over loaves.
-
4.
Combine the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, caraway seeds, onion and remaining salt; sprinkle over loaves. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
-
5.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into wedges; serve warm.
