❗️I learned this old recipe for bread from a Bulgarian chef! Incredibly delicious!

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil adds healthy fats while being dairy-free.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories and dairy-free.

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt is richer in protein.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: stevia

Honey adds natural sweetness with a unique flavor.

In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.

Warm water and milk until lukewarm, then add to the dry ingredients.

Stir in melted butter and yogurt until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a round loaf.

Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
