Proof and Bake:
Transfer the shaped bread to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush the top with the beaten egg mixed with milk (egg wash) for a golden finish.
Let the bread rise for about 20-30 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while the dough is rising.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve:
Let the bread cool slightly before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar or sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar if desired.
Filling Suggestions:
Sweet Variations: Try using cream cheese frosting, caramel sauce, or almond paste.
Savory Variations: Experiment with different cheeses, sautéed mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes.
