For a richer flavor, try using honey instead of sugar. Adding a touch of orange zest to the dough can create a lovely aroma and flavor complexity. If you don't have rapid-rise yeast, you can use active dry yeast, but you'll need to proof it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dry ingredients. The rising time may vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen. Be patient and allow the dough to fully double in size for the best results.

01
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, corn flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a medium saucepan, gently heat milk, water, and butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm to the touch (about 110-115°F). (5 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Stir the warm milk mixture and egg into the dry ingredients. Mix in the remaining 1.25 cups of all-purpose flour, adding it gradually, about 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. (5 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
Once the dough begins to come together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, approximately 6-8 minutes. Knead in 3 tablespoons of the poppy seeds, reserving the remaining tablespoon for topping. (10 minutes)

Step

Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the warmth of your environment. (30-60 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Gently deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. (5 minutes)
07
Step
40 mins
Cover the loaf with a damp cloth and let rise again until doubled in volume, approximately 30-45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (40 minutes)
08
Step
35 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped. (35 minutes)
09
Step

Remove the loaf from the pan and immediately brush the top with melted butter. Sprinkle the reserved 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds evenly over the top. (2 minutes)
