Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush bread again with egg wash.
12 Step
Recipe View
Bake bread in the preheated oven until golden (about 40 minutes). Cool on a wire rack.
For an extra touch of flavor, try using melted butter instead of vegetable oil. The bread is best served warm, but it will keep for several days when properly stored.
The key to a light and airy texture is to not overwork the dough during kneading. Be patient and knead until it becomes smooth and elastic.
