Ingredients:

  • 4 1/2 tsp dry active yeast (2 envelopes)
  • 6 tbsp milk or 6 tbsp water, warm
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 4 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup butter

Directions:

  1. Stir the yeast into the warm water (or milk), with the salt and sugar. Set aside for five minutes to dissolve.
  2. Put the flour in a bowl and make a well in it.
  3. Put the eggs and the yeast mixture in the well. Mix it, drawing in the flour, to make a soft, sticky dough.
  4. Work the dough, lifting and slapping, until it becomes soft and very smooth and elastic (this process is a long and difficult job by hand. A mixer with hook attachment is great if you have one).
  5. Knead the butter to soften it to the same texture as the dough. Now, work in the butter a piece at a time, again to create smooth, sticky dough (again, the mixer will make that easy).
  6. Let the dough rise at room temperature in a covered bowl for two hours.
  7. Punch down the risen dough.
  8. Put it back in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight to double.
  9. Shape the bread and let it rise 1 1/2 hours in the pan.
  10. Glaze with yolk and milk wash.
  11. Bake the loaves at 425ºF/220°C for 40 to 45 minutes.
