2. Make dough: Dissolve yeast in warm milk, add all other ingredients except butter and knead into dough, then gradually add the butter while vigorously kneading the dough.Knead vigorously!Let the dough become smooth and elastic; rest if needed.

3. First rise: Cover the well-kneaded dough with a plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm and humid place until it has doubled or tripled in size, approximately 2.5-3 times its original volume. Check by poking a finger into the dough; if the indentation quickly closes, the first rise is incomplete.

4. Prepare unbaked goods: Gently knead the risen dough to remove air pockets and divide it into portions, round them, cover with plastic wrap, let rest for 10 minutes, then shape and place on a baking tray.

5. Second rise: Place the baking tray in the oven with 1-2 cups of water to create steam; close the oven door without heating for the second rise until the dough has doubled in size, then remove and brush with egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds.

Tips:

) The fermentation time depends on the "hair growth condition" of the dough; it is shorter in summer and longer in winter.It's very cold in Jinan now, so my bread took nearly a day from first rise to second rise. Be patient, ladies!Start baking only after returning home that evening.

2) This baguette did not include stuffing; those who prefer it can add their favorite ingredients inside.
