VIENNA BREAD

Steps:

• dissolve yeast in water and stif in 1 T of sugar and 1 3/4 to 2 cups flour, enough to make a soft spongy dough.
• cover the bowl with a towel and put sponge aside in a warm place to rise about 45 minutes till puffed and soft.
• add the milk, remaining sugar, salt and melted butter and stir the sponge down well.
• work in as much of the remaining dough as is needed to make a stiff dough.
• turn the dough out on a heavily floured board, sprinkle with a little more flour and knead for 10 to 15 minutes, till it is smooth and elastic.
• form the dough into a ball and put in a large buttered bowl, turning once to coat with butter on all sides.
• cover the bowl with a towel and let rise for 45 minutes to an hour - till doubled (less time if using rapid rise yeast).
• punch down dough and form into 2 oblong loaves or large braids.
• put the loaves on buttered baking sheets, cover with a towel and let rise for 1/2 or till doubled.
• beat together egg yolk and milk and brush the loaves with the glaze.

LIGHT WHEAT, VIENNA STYLE BREAD

Steps:

• The night before baking, make sponge by combining all ingredients in a large bowl.
• Mix thoroughly and cover with plastic wrap and a cloth.
• Let sit at room temperature overnight or up to 12 hours.
• The next day, add the dough ingredients to the sponge and mix well.
• Knead by hand or mixer with dough hook until all ingredients are incorporated and for about 5 minutes more.
• Cover dough and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Knead for 5 to 7 minutes or until smooth.
• Move dough to an oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in volume. A straight sided clean container is best for this or a large graduated measuring cup. This is best at room temperature but can take 1 1/2 hours or more but can be accomplished at 90F in an oven or microwave using hot water as the heat source in about 45 minutes.
• When doubled, stretch and dimple dough to form a rectangle and roll tightly back toward yourself, forming an oblong shape and place on baking paper or parchment to rise. I use an oblong brotform. Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with oil.
• Preheat oven, stone or baking sheet, and an empty pan to hold water to 375°F.
• When doubled in volume, score diagonally with sharp knife or razor blade and place in the oven.
• Pour 1 cup of hot water into the empty pan to generate steam.
• Cook for 35 minutes or until 180 to 210 F internal temperature.
• Note: This is easily made in your bread machine, including the sponge. Just mix the sponge on dough cycle and unplug machine and close lid. The next day, either cook on basic cycle or use dough cycle and hand form and bake loaf in the oven.
