  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  2. Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to the flour mixture.
  3. Stir until a dough begins to form.

Step 3: Knead the Dough

  1. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
    • Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5–7 minutes.

Step 4: First Rise

  1. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5: Shape the Bread

  1. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf or rolls, depending on your preference.
  2. Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6: Second Rise

  1. Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30–40 minutes, until slightly puffed.

Step 7: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8: Apply the Egg Wash

  1. In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg and milk.
  2. Brush the egg wash over the surface of the dough for a golden, shiny crust.
  3. Sprinkle with optional toppings if desired.

Step 9: Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10: Cool and Serve

  1. Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
  2. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite breakfast spread.
