Ingredients

  • 2¾ cups bread flour + more for dusting
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar + 1 tbsp for sprinkling
  • 2 tsp instant yeast Generous pinch of salt
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp cold salted butter
  • ½  cup cold whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 heaping tbsp apricot jam

 

Directions

Place the flour, ¼ cup sugar, yeast and salt in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds to combine. Chop the butter into pieces and add to the food processor. Pulse for  a few seconds, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer the mixture to a medium mixing bowl; set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, 1 egg and 3 tablespoons of cold water. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the milk mixture into it. Stir with a table knife to bring together into a lumpy sticky dough. Shape the dough into a ball, place it back into the mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
