Dough
250 ml milk (lukewarm)
1 tablespoon sugar
100 g butter (melted, lukewarm)
500 g white flour
15 g fresh yeast
1 teaspoon salt
Coating
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water
1 -2 tablespoon caraway seed (not cumin!)

1
Mix in a bowl milk, butter, sugar and half of the flour.
2
Add yeast, mix well again and let stand for 5 minutes.
3
Add the rest of the flour, the salt and form a soft dough.
4
Make 12 portions and form with each a 15 cm long oval roll.
5
Flat the rolls and make 4 5cm long opposite cuts (as shown in the photo).
6
Toss with your hands and place on your trays (I use 2 of them).
7
Swirl yolk and water together and brush on the breads.
8
Top with caraway seed.
9
Keep for about 2 hours in the cold oven or until they double their volume (keeping a bowl with warm water in the oven helps the breads to rise better).
10
Take out of the oven and preheat the oven at 200u00b0C (heat and timing are basing it on convection oven).
11
Place a fireproof bowl with hot water in the oven and bake the breads of the first tray for 15-20 minutes until golden. Repeat with the other tray.
12
Let cool on a grade end enjoy them.
