Garlic and Cheese Bread

Make a yeast dough using flour, water, milk, yeast, sugar, salt, and oil. Let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours.

Mix the softened butter with minced garlic, fresh herbs, and half of the grated cheese.

Punch down the dough, roll it out into a rectangle, and spread the filling evenly over it.

Roll it up tightly into a log, sealing the edges well.

Cut the log lengthwise, leaving one end attached, and either braid the strands or shape it to fit your baking pan.

Transfer to a baking sheet and let it proof for 20 to 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Brush the loaf with an egg wash made from egg yolk and milk, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese and sesame seeds.
