Zopf, a Swiss braided bread - tokamuwi / pixelio.de
Put 1kg of white flour and 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl and mix them.
Add the cube of yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar to 500ml of warm milk and stir until the yeast is dissolved.
Add the yeast-milk-mixture and 140 g of soft butter (in pieces) to the flour and knead the mixture until it is smooth.
Cover the bowl with the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 1 1/2 hours. The dough should raise to double its size in this time.
Afterwards take the dough and form two long strands. Braid the dough into a Zopf as is shown in this video.
Open an egg and scramble it.
Put the dough on a baking sheet with baking paper and use a kitchen brush to coat the Zopf with the egg. Instead of using baking paper you can grease the baking sheet. Let it raise again for 1/2 hour.
Preheat the oven to 200 C and bake the for about 40 minutes.
