Time 3h25m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole milk
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ stick unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
¾ cup sugar, divided, plus 1 teaspoon
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup warm water
1 package active dry yeast, 1/4 ounce (7 grams)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
4 cups all purpose flour, sifted
water, for brushing
coarse sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, salt, butter, ¾ cup sugar, and the cardamom. Warm over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool slightly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Milk should be warm to the touch but not too hot.
  • In a liquid measuring cup, dissolve the yeast and remaining teaspoon of sugar in the warm water. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Once the milk mixture has cooled, pour into a large bowl and add the yeast mixture and the egg. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the flour, 1 cup (125 grams) at a time, stirring or kneading with your hands between each addition, until no longer sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 15 minutes, or until it springs back when pressed. Transfer to a large bowl greased with butter, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and divide in half. Cut each half into 3 equal portions. Stretch and roll each piece into a 14-inch rope. Place 3 pieces parallel to each other and pinch together the ends on one side, tucking underneath to conceal. Braid the strands together, pinch the ends together at the other end and tuck underneath. Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and cover with a damp towel. Let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Uncover the loaves and lightly brush with water. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, brushing the excess from the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let cool before slicing.
  • Enjoy!
