Decoration Tips:
Before baking, consider making shallow slashes on the top of the loaf for a rustic, artisanal look.

For an extra touch of elegance, sprinkle some flour or oats on top before baking.
Ingredients:
- 450g all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 250ml milk
- 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 packets dry yeast
- 90g melted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
Instructions:
- Melt the butter in a small pot, then add the milk and heat slightly.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl. Stir in the yeast and brown sugar, mix, and leave for about 5 minutes until the yeast becomes active.
- Crack the egg into the bowl, add salt, and gradually incorporate the flour, adding more if necessary to achieve a workable dough.
- Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a loaf pan.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot until it reaches the top of the pan, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) with convection if available. Optionally, make a few slashes on the top of the loaf.
