These days we are on holiday 😀 , we’ll propose you a nice loaf, inspired by the sweet Danube bread, which we’ve just enjoyed lounging in the sun: a soft bread dough with milk enriched with fragrant sesame, poppy and amaranth seeds.
This bread must be eaten strictly by hand, pulling a tiny ball, one after another, so laid down your knives 😉 !
We have used sesame poppy and amaranth seeds but you can change it according to your taste 😀 .
