Veka (Long White Loaf)
One serving has 173 kcal and 5 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of thiamin (29%), selenium (25%) and riboflavin (22%). Ready in 150 minutes.
- Preparation: 120 min
- Cooking: 30 min
- Makes: 1 serving (65.3 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 36 g Flour, all-purpose
- 22 g Milk, whole
- 3 g Butter, unsalted
- 0.8 g Sugar
- 1.2 g Yeast, fresh
- 0.3 g Salt
- 2 g Egg (for brushing)
Method
- Warm the milk until lukewarm, stir in the crumbled yeast and the sugar and leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Add the flour, salt and soft butter and knead for 10 minutes into a smooth, soft dough. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour, until doubled.
- Press the dough into a rectangle, roll it up tightly from the long side, then roll it back and forth into an even loaf about 35 cm long with rounded ends. Lay it seam side down on a tray lined with baking paper.
- Cover and leave to rise for 40 minutes. Heat the oven to 200 °C.
- Brush with beaten egg and cut 6-8 shallow diagonal slashes along the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding underneath. Cool on a rack before slicing; day-old veka is the bread for open sandwiches and toast.
