- 2/3 cup warm milk

Method to make St Joseph Bread
- Take a bowl and then dip the yeast in the warm milk in this bowl. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes so that the yeast will dissolve well in the warm milk.
- Take another bowl and sift the flour in this bowl. Now add a little sugar and then sprinkle salt into this flour.
- Add the melted butter to the bowl. Use the electric beater to beat the ingredients together with the flour.
- Then add the eggs into the mixture. At the same time add the anise seeds into it and then add more flour into it.
- Beat for another few minutes. Add yeast milk.
- Knead the dough by adding more flour if required. Knead for quite a good time and then put your kneaded dough in a bowl that you have already greased.
- Cover the bowl from the top using plastic wrap or simply a kitchen napkin. Let stand for an hour to let the dough settle properly.
- Divide the rough and then roll the dough pieces. Combine the two rolls and then put them in the greased baking pan. Bake for more than half an hour for good textured bread.
- Make sure your oven is already preheated at 350 degrees.
- Bring the egg wash and then use a brush to brush the egg wash at the top of the bread before baking.
- Once the bread is baked, take it out, let stand to air cool, and Serve!
FAQs?
Which ingredient will make bread soft and fluffy?
The yeast well dissolved in the milk when kneaded in the dough soften your dough and therefore you will get a fluffy bread. Also greasing is very necessary to retain the moisture.
Do we add milk separately to the dough?
No, we only add the yeast milk to the dough. No milk is added separately to this dough for any additional milk.
