Bulgarian sunflower bread

   I have always wanted to make Bulgarian bread that I have seen on one Bulgarian blog. Finally, over this weekend I decided to try and make it. The results of this bread were amazing. It came out fluffy, easy & really good! Here is the recipe:

4 cups Flour
2 eggs + 1 egg yolk for spreading 
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or 1 tablespoon lemon juice 
2 tablespoons vegetable oil 
1 tablespoon sugar 
1 tsp salt  
1 cup warm milk
1 stick butter melted 
1 package yeast


Eggs & Milk should be room temperature
Dissolve yeast in 1TBSP sugar,1TBSP Flour, 1/2cup warm milk. Let it foam for 5 minutes. Beat eggs, salt, milk & oil. Slowly add flour, vinegar & yeast. Toss the rest ingredients in. Knead for 10 minutes.  Let dough rise for 1 hour. Divide the dough in 4 parts.

Roll out each dough into a nice round circle. Coat each dough with melted butter and lay each on top of.

Put a cup in the middle and cut like a flower
Twist each piece
Cover bread for another 30minutes to rise
Now that its risen, add 2TBSP milk 1 egg yoke and beat. Brush on top of bread and add Sesame seeds if you wish.

Now Bake at 350 for 35-40mins

Thanks for stopping by!
