Preparation instructions:

  • 1.

    Empty the bread mix into a bowl, add the dried yeast and stir to combine. Pour in the lukewarm water and knead using the dough hooks of an electric mixer or by hand until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover with a cotton tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise for approximately 30 minutes.

  • 2.

    Remove the dough from the bowl and transfer it to a lightly floured work surface. Knead again.

  • 3.

    Line an 18 cm round springform tin or a 28 cm loaf tin with baking parchment. Transfer the dough to the prepared tin, cover with a tea towel and leave to rise again in a warm place. Once the dough has doubled in size, brush the top with lightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with poppy seeds.

  • 4.

    Preheat the oven to 200°C and place an ovenproof dish filled with hot water at the bottom to create a moist baking environment. Place the bread in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, until golden brown.
