(Country bread according to Nikolaz) Recipe from Brittany

Mix the flour and sift it into a bowl. Make a well in the center. Crumble in the yeast and add the sugar. Mix 1/4 of the lukewarm water with the yeast, sprinkle with flour, and cover and let rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes. Then add the remaining warm water, salt, and coriander and knead into a dough. Cover and let rise for one to two hours, until it has doubled in size. Grease a baking tray, knead the dough again, and form one or two round loaves (per recipe). Let rise again on the tray for about 1/2 hour. Score the top crosswise with a knife, brush with milk, and place in an oven preheated to 190-200°C (375-400°F) for about 1 1/4 hours (baking time for two loaves is about one hour).
