1 cup warm goat milk (110°F)
4 tablespoons goat milk butter, melted
1 large egg (optional)
1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Instructions

Shape Dough: Punch down, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased pan.
Second Rise: Cover again and let rise for 30–45 mins. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake: Bake for 25–30 mins until golden brown and sounds hollow.
Cool & Serve: Cool for 15 mins before slicing. Optional: Brush top with melted goat milk butter.
