I discovered this Swiss Sunday bread when I was visiting friends in Switzerland. One of these friends is a pastry chef! The measurements given to me were metric, so I had to convert them. This makes a beautiful loaf and is super easy to make!

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 ⅓ cups warm milk
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons butter, softened
3 ½ cups bread flour
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
