Ingredients 📋
– 470-500 g wheat flour
– 5 g dried yeast
– 2 tbsp sugar
– 2 tbsp poppy seeds – 1 tsp baking powder – 1 tsp vinegar
–
1 egg
– 25 ml vegetable oil
– 0.5 tsp salt
– 200 ml warm milk
– 50 g softened butter
#### Preparation 🥣
1. **Prepare the dough:**
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and dried yeast. Stir and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until foam forms, indicating that the yeast is active.
2. **Add the dry ingredients:**
Add half of the wheat flour to the yeast mixture along with the salt and poppy seeds and mix well.
3. **Add the wet ingredients:**
Whisk the egg and vegetable oil in a small bowl. Add this mixture to the dough. In another small bowl, mix the baking powder and vinegar (it will bubble) and add both to the dough.
4. **Knead the Dough:**
Slowly add the remaining flour while kneading continuously until the dough is smooth and elastic. Knead for about 8 to 10 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.
6. **Add Butter:**
After the first rise, knead the softened butter completely into the dough.
7. **Second Resting Period:**
Recover the dough and let it rest for 30 to 45 minutes.
8. **Preparation for Shaping and Baking:**
Carefully roll out the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. **Preheat Oven:**
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
10. **Bake:**
Bake the dough in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
11. **Cool:**
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
