How to Make Country Yogurt Bread

  1. In a large bowl (or bread machine), combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add yogurt, melted butter, and salt.
  3. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. If using a bread machine, select the dough cycle.
  4. If mixing by hand, knead on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour as needed if dough is too sticky.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough to release air. Divide it in half.
  7. Shape each half into a 12x10 inch rectangle.
  8. Roll each rectangle tightly from the short end into a loaf.
  9. Tuck the ends under and pinch the seams to seal.
  10. Place the loaves on a greased baking sheet.
  11. Using a sharp knife, make several 1-inch slashes across the top of each loaf.
  12. Brush the loaves with the beaten egg white.
  13. Let rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
  14. Brush with egg white a second time.
  15. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
