Ingredients:
1 kg flour
80 g sugar
100 g butter
800 ml milk
30 g fresh yeast
1 teaspoon salt
Heat milk until lukewarm. Crumble yeast and sprinkle about a teaspoon of sugar over it, then pour 100 ml lukewarm milk over it. Mix flour with salt and the rest of the sugar. Pour yeasty milk into a mold in the flour and start kneading, while adding the rest of the milk. As soon as the dough seems to come together and it is almost smooth add lukewarm, molten butter and knead until smooth. Let it rest in a warm place for an hour. Cut in three pieces and form one 26 cm kalács and two small ones. Put each in baking paper covered cake molds and let it rise for another half an hour. Bake for about an hour (the smaller ones might need 10-15 minutes less) over 160°C.

What a beautiful bread! Mmmhhh, perfect with some lemon curd.
Happy New Year!
Cheers,

Rich-looking bread, with a beautiful crumb, and not a single egg in sight? Love!
@Rosa: Oh yeah! :)
@Marysol: Ah stupid me, I forgot to note it to glaze it with an egg before baking, otherwise it won't be shiny, but you can leave it away.
Not only in Eastern European countries. It's traditional also in Germany :-)
it looks like if it had perfect consistency I've never heard about it but it looks pretty good
So eine schöne, wunderbare, goldene Farbe. Ich liebe Hefegebäck.
@SnapHappy: Yeah, that't true. :)))
@beti: Everything depends on the flour!
@sybille: Danke! Oh ja, ich auch!
Oh, how I really want to learn how to bake good bread!!! But yeast has always been my foe! Any tips for a novice (or less-than-a-novice) wanna-be breadmaker like me? What's the secret to making a nice, good bread?
Well, I am also no expert in baking bread, but such sweet breads are easy, try it! I bet you can not fail!
