FRANSKBRØD
Franskbrød is the most prevalent white bread in all of Scandinavia. It translates to
“French bread,” but it contains an egg, so technically it is not a true lean bread by
French baking standards. The combination of the egg and water makes for a chewy
loaf. This recipe is adapted from one by a great baker and food writer, Beatrice
Ojakangas, who has written many bread books utilizing every baking technique, from
the food processor to the bread machine. Serve this bread with dinner.
