4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast

1 cup milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 large egg

Ensure the milk is warm but not too hot, as high temperatures can kill the yeast.

For a richer flavor, let the Zopf cool completely before slicing.
