Sådan former du et franskbrød

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while adding moisture.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories and can be used for moisture.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness and moisture.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Dissolve yeast in water and mix with milk and yogurt.

Add flour, salt, and sugar, and knead well for five minutes.

Gradually knead in the soft butter, kneading for another five minutes.

Let the dough rest at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate covered for 10-12 hours.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and flatten it slightly.

Roll the dough tightly into a log, tucking the ends underneath.

Place the shaped dough seam-side down on parchment paper and cover to let it proof for 2.5 hours.

Preheat the oven to 250°C with a baking steel in the middle and a baking tray at the bottom.

Brush the bread with milk and optionally sprinkle with poppy seeds.

Make a few slashes on top of the bread with a sharp knife.

Place the bread on the hot baking steel and pour boiling water into the preheated tray.

Bake for five minutes, then reduce the temperature to 190°C and bake for an additional 25 minutes.

Transfer the bread to a rack and let it cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
