Ingredients:

  • 250 ml milk (lukewarm)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 100 g butter (melted , lukewarm)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp water

Directions:

  1. Mix in a bowl milk, butter, sugar and half of the flour.
  2. Add yeast, mix well again and let stand for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the rest of the flour, the salt and form a soft dough.
  4. Make 12 portions and form with each a 15 cm long oval roll.
  5. Flat the rolls and make 4 5cm long opposite cuts (as shown in the photo).
  6. Toss with your hands and place on your trays (I use 2 of them).
  7. Swirl yolk and water together and brush on the breads.
  8. Top with caraway seed.
  9. Keep for about 2 hours in the cold oven or until they double their volume (keeping a bowl with warm water in the oven helps the breads to rise better).
  10. Take out of the oven and preheat the oven at 200°C (heat and timing are basing it on convection oven).
  11. Place a fireproof bowl with hot water in the oven and bake the breads of the first tray for 15-20 minutes until golden. Repeat with the other tray.
  12. Let cool on a grade end enjoy them.
