Homemade box bread is an excellent option to eat healthier, because this way you can ensure that the quality of the ingredients is the best. The spectacular taste of homemade bread is unmatched and you can enjoy it accompanied by any other preparation or alone.
On a surface or in a deep container, pour the flour and form a mountain. With the help of your hand, make a hole in the center and add the yeast, egg, sugar, salt and butter there.
Start mixing with your hand or a spatula, gradually incorporating the flour closest to the center (where you added all the ingredients). Pour the milk slowly and carefully, while you continue mixing the dough until you finish incorporating everything.
Knead until the dough is completely wet, but at the same time it is elastic, smooth and smooth; You can also confirm it because it will easily detach from the surface where you have made it.
Divide the dough into three equal parts, you can help yourself with a scale, in case you have it.
To roll the dough, press it against the table or the surface where you are working so that it flattens a bit, pull the ends towards the center, so that the entire edge coincides at this point (as if it were a navel); Turn the piece of dough so that the "navel" faces the table and with the help of your hands squeeze and roll the dough turning it in the same direction repeatedly, remember that this process is known as bowling. Repeat this step with the other two pieces of dough.
To ferment the dough in a rectangular greased pancake or box bread pan, place the dough balls side by side horizontally so that they look like three mattresses. The mold must coincide with the portion of dough, it must be ¾ of height of the mold before fermenting and the balls of dough must be glued together.
With the help of a brush, smear the surface of the bread with the egg varnish, this will prevent the exterior from drying; Let stand at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 190 ° C.
Varnish the dough again delicately, you must be careful not to strike it out; sprinkle sesame seeds and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Once cooked, remember to check the internal cooking with a toothpick, it must come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature in the same mold. Unmold and with the help of a toothy knife or serrated knife, cut slices of 1 cm (one index finger thick).
