Gøta-brauð (Gøta bread)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast.
2. Add the lukewarm milk and oil, then knead for 10 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
3. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour somewhere warm, until the dough has doubled in size.
4. Knock the dough back, shape it into a round or oblong loaf and place it on a floured tray.
5. Let it rest for another 30 minutes, then brush it with beaten egg and sprinkle with seeds if you like.
6. Bake at 220 °C for 30 to 35 minutes, until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, then let it cool on a rack.
