ZOPF (TRADITIONAL SWISS PLAITED BREAKFAST BREAD)



Zopf (Traditional Swiss Plaited Breakfast Bread) image

Zopf is a soft milk bread and is a family tradition with us; it is usually served with butter and jam, although can also be served with soft cheeses and cold meats. It is a breakfast or dinner bread. If you need to know how to do the plait, let me know and I'll send you a diagram! Based on a Betty Bossi recipe.

Time 3h

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 kg plain flour
1 tablespoon salt
30 g yeast (or a 1/4 ounce packet)
1 tablespoon sugar
125 g melted and cooled butter
650 -700 ml milk
1 egg yolk, thinned with
milk

Steps:

  • Mix together all ingredients except egg yolk to make a soft dough. Knead 10 minutes or so.
  • Divide into 4 and make long sausages with the dough.
  • Form the sausages into 2 square crosses.
  • Plait each cross, using a 4 strand plait, so that you end up with two loaves of plaited bread.
  • Put in the fridge until ready to bake- overnight, for example.
  • Paint the loaves with a little of the egg yolk.
  • Place a water bath under the oven shelf. Bake in the bottom half of a 220 degree Celcius preheated oven for 10 minutes, then turn the temperature down and bake at 200 degrees for 40 minutes.

I discovered this Swiss Sunday bread when I was visiting friends in Switzerland. One of these friends is a pastry chef! The measurements given to me were metric, so I had to convert them. This makes a beautiful loaf and is super easy to make!
