Comment préparer Egg Bread

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve 1/4 cup dry milk powder in 1 cup hot water. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter, 1/4 cup honey, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 large eggs.
  2. Whisk thoroughly until well combined. Check the temperature of the mixture with a thermometer; it should be lukewarm (around 105-115°F).
  3. Adjust the temperature by adding warm or cool water as needed to reach lukewarm consistency.
  4. Add 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast and stir gently until dissolved.
  5. Gradually add 5 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  6. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a smooth sheet.
  7. Add 2 1/2 to 3 cups more flour, one cup at a time, until the dough is stiff enough to knead but still slightly sticky.
  8. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  9. Use as little additional flour as possible during kneading.
  10. Place the dough in a greased, large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1-1.5 hours).
  11. Punch down the dough and let rise again until almost doubled (about 30-45 minutes).
  12. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into three equal parts.
  13. Shape each part into a smooth ball and cover for a few minutes.
  14. **Option 1 (Braided Loaf):** Divide each ball into three smaller balls. Roll each into a rope and braid together, pinching ends securely. Place in greased loaf pans.
  15. **Option 2 (Dinner Crescents):** Roll one dough ball into a 12-inch circle. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into 12-16 equal wedges. Starting at the wide end, roll up each wedge. Place on greased baking sheets.
  16. Let the loaves or crescents rise again until doubled (about 30-45 minutes).
  17. **Loaves:** Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  18. **Crescents:** Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
