GERMAN KASTENWEISSBROT (WHITE LOAF BREAD)
I translated this recipe from "Brot Backen," a German language cookbook I acquired while living in Germany. I used to buy this bread weekly from the bakery in our town and had to track down a recipe for it. I will update the measurements for American kitchens once I have tried this. At the bakery they had little bottles of water that they would spray onto the raw dough before baking to make the tops crispy.

Steps:
- Measure out the milk and add yeast and sugar; set aside for about 10 minutes or until frothy (if it doesn't get frothy, start over- your yeast is dead or your milk was too hot and killed the yeast).
- Mix together the yeast mixture with salt, eggs and egg yolk, creme fraiche.
- Combine the flour and the wet mixture until a dough forms (you may need a little extra flour depending upon the humidity that day).
- Knead on a floured board, adding extra flour if needed to keep from being too sticky, until a smooth ball forms.
- Place in a greased bowl, flip over once, and cover with either a damp clean towel or plastic wrap that has first been srayed with nonstick spray.
- Let rise until doubled in bulk- approx 1 or 1 1/2 hours.
- Punch down and knead again on a floured surface.
- Grease a 30cm long loaf pan well and sprinkle with dry breadcrumbs.
- Set dough into the pan and even out the top.
- Cover as before and let rise another hour.
- Heat oven to 175 C.
- Remove cover and using a sharp knife, make slashes in the dough every 1 cm.
- Spritz with a bit of water (this will make the crust crisp up).
- Bake on the second rack of your oven for about 40 minutes.
