  • I prepare the dough
    First I put the flour, the yeast and the sugar in a bowl.
    I add the eggs and begin to mix.

    I work the dough for about 10-15 minutes, until I obtain an elastic dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

    At this point I add the butter little by little and continue kneading until it is completely incorporated.

    I knead again to distribute the flavors evenly.
    I shape the dough into a ball.

  • First rise
    I place it in a bowl, cover it and let it rise until doubled.
    Shaping
    After rising I take the dough back and deflate it slightly.

  • I place it in a buttered pan.
    Second rise
    I cover it and let it rise until it almost reaches the rim of the pan.
    Baking
    Bake in the oven at 356°F for about 1 hour.
    If it darkens too much during baking, cover it with aluminum foil.
