Step 6: Bake
- shaped dough
Note: If you are not using a cover on the bread pan, you’ll need to egg wash the surface: Whisk an egg yolk with a splash of milk. Brush over the top of the proofed loaf.
Add the pan to the preheated oven and for 30 minutes.
- When finished, the exterior of the bread should be golden brown. Test the interior with a cake tester or a thermometer to see if the interior has reached 200°F/93°C.
Slide the loaf onto a wire rack and let it cool completely (to avoid a gummy interior texture) before slicing and enjoying.
