Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Pour the milk into a saucepan, add the mint, bring to a boil, and let it steep for 1 hour. Then strain and warm it to body temperature. Mix the orange zest with the liqueur.
Step 2
Rub the yeast into the flour until it forms fine crumbs. Then rub in the butter, add salt, sugar, and then 2 eggs, mint milk, and liqueur. Knead the dough and let it rise, covered, for 1 hour.
Step 3
Lightly grease the baking pan with butter.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 480°F.
Step 5
On a floured surface, divide the dough into 2 parts, shape into loaves, and place on a baking sheet lined with a towel and dusted with flour, seam side down. Brush the surface of the loaves with an egg beaten with salt and let them dry. Cover the loaves with a towel and let rise for 1.5 hours.
Step 6
Brush the dough again and make cuts with scissors at a 45-degree angle.
Step 7
Spray the oven walls with water from a spray bottle, reduce the temperature to 410°F, place the loaves in the oven, and bake for 2 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 390°F and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes.
