Recipe ingredients:
- 1 kg (1000g | 35 oz) all-purpose flour/wheat flour — or more, as needed
- 2 eggs
- 7 tablespoons sugar (about 90g | 3.2 oz)
- 10 tablespoons oil (about 150ml | 5 oz)
- 500ml (17 fl oz | 500g) warm water or warm milk — for a softer texture, use milk
- 1 teaspoon salt (about 5g | 0.17 oz)
- 20g (0.7 oz | about 2 tbsp) dry active yeast for bread
For brushing:
- 1 egg beaten with a splash of milk
Instructions:
Making the Dough:
In a blender, combine the eggs, sugar, oil, warm water (or milk), and salt. Blend for about 1 minute, just until smooth and well combined.
Pour this liquid mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add the dry yeast and stir with a spoon until fully dissolved.
Gradually add the flour, mixing constantly. Once it starts coming together, switch to kneading with your hands. The dough should be soft, slightly sticky, but pull away from your hands lightly.
Kneading the Dough:
Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 8 minutes, adding a little more flour only if needed. Aim for a soft, elastic, slightly tacky dough — don’t overdo the flour.
First Rise:
Place the dough in a lightly floured bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Shaping the Bread:
Gently deflate the dough to release the air. Divide it into 3 or 4 equal portions and shape as desired — rolls, braids, or classic loaf shapes.
Second Rise:
Arrange the shaped breads on a greased baking sheet or one lined with parchment paper. Cover again with the towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Baking:
Brush the tops with the beaten egg and milk mixture to give it a golden finish.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 35–40 minutes, or until beautifully golden.
(Optional) Once out of the oven, brush with a bit of butter or margarine for a shiny finish and a soft crust.
