Happy Bread

as all breads it takes time to make but end results are soo worth it :-)

Ingredient

2 tsp

all purpose flour, plus extra for kneading and flouring

1 tsp

vinegar or lemon juice...I used lemon juice

100 grams

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Dissolve yeast and sugar in 100 ml milk, cover and leave in a warm place to rise 10 minutes

* Step 2

in another bowl, sift the flour and salt together. Make a well in the middle and add beaten eggs into it, the remaining warm milk, olive oil, vinegar and yeast mixture. Knead the dough with your hands or in your mixer until it separates from the sides of the bowl. Remove dough, place on lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes a soft, pliable dough. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume- about an hour.

* Step 3

Punch risen dough and transfer on a floured surface, divide dough into 2 equal parts. Divide each of these again into 4, so you have eight pieces of dough altogether.

* Step 4

Roll each piece of dough out into a roughly rectangular shape with a thickness of 3-5 mm. Brush cooled melted butter over each piece. set aside remaining butter for later.

* Step 5

Place one piece of rectangular dough over another one abd start to roll into a cylinder. Do the same with the rest of the dough; you will end up with 4 cylindrical rolls altogether.

* Step 6

Cut each roll into three pieces this way. ..slice off both ends of the roll about 1.5 inch long each , and put these 2 pieces aside. Then cut the middle part of the roll into 4 triangles.

* Step 7

Preheat oven to 180C. Grease or line a large baking tray. In the middle of the tray , arrange the cut ends of the roll around each other to form a circle, placing the cut sides down. Arrange the cut triangles to completely surround the middle circle. Cover with a towel and leave the dough to rice in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes

* Step 8

Beat the yolk and the milk with a fork to form a glaze. ( you can sprinkle with sesame seeds or other dry toppings at this point ) Bake bread for 20-30 minutes, reducing the temperature to 160C after 10 minutes in the oven.
