Absolutely delicious! Mine turned out perfectly, and looked beautiful. I would definitely brush over with butter, and not egg/water mixture though. Also, it needed a little salt.

Salt is very important; otherwise it will be too bland, as the previous reviewer said. I also use a 15% Spelt Flour / 85% All purpose flour mix; it makes the texture much closer to real Zopf bread; Just using All Purpose flour results in a bread that is too much like normal white bread.

I made this bread today and followed the recipe exactly and it turned out fantastic! This is a great day since I never ever can get my bread to turn out, this was a first!

Texture: amazing- soft, toasts very well, dough easy to braid and work with. Taste: very very bland. This would be good to dip into flavored olive oil, or toast with honey or jam. But as a bread itself, the taste is lacking and flavorless. Process: I used my bread machine, putting in the milk, egg, & butter, followed by flour and yeast. I rose once in my machine. Then I took it out, braided it, and left it out for about 45 minutes (covered with a wet cloth) to rise (and it rose a lot, so I recommend a second rise). cooked about 20 minutes. Very light bread.- (If) Next-time alterations: add 3/4 teaspoon salt (a must), 1 tsp sugar.

This is a good recipe, makes a nice bread. I would suggest a few changes from my experience; I live on the French/Swiss border and make this bread with a slightly different recipe according to the Swiss German housewives. I suggest adding 1/2 Tablespoon of salt, 3/4 teaspoon of sugar, omitting the egg mixed into the dough and instead using a couple of Tablespoons of plain yogurt (it helps the bread "keep" longer). I also let it rise twice: once before braiding and once after, I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Thanks for this recipe, it's always great to try something different!

Delicious! Be sure to use whole milk so it has its nice creamy taste! It's great with a soup, and its very addicting - disappears quickly.

A wonderful recipe for a great bread. This bread is great with butter and honey, or just jam, on relaxing Sunday mornings. Be sure to use *whole milk* (not skim milk) or you will get a bread that isn't as rich as it's supposed to be.

This bread would have been very good if it had salt in the ingredients. It cooked for only 16 minutes before turning brown and was not cooked all the way through. It did look good and had good texture but was very bland.
