This is a bread recipe that you gotta try– zopf!  My sister found it on the internet over a decade ago, and our family still makes it to this day. I’ve taken it one step further, though: it is now the base of a delicious fish sandwich. My husband was impressed enough that he requested it again for lunch tomorrow. Yes, I do believe the Swiss would approve. Although I haven’t asked any yet. If you’re Swiss, leave a comment and let me know what you think. Actually, do that even if you’re not Swiss.

Ingredients 

Zopf Bread:

• One package dry yeast
• 1 1/3 cups milk
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 T butter, melted
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 1 egg white
• 1 T water
• Lettuce and tomato (optional)

Fish & Tartar Sauce

• 6 frozen breaded fish patties or fried fish fillets
• 1 C mayonnaise
• 2 T relish
• 1 T lemon juice
• Salt and pepper

Instructions: 

• Follow the instructions for zopf here on Allrecipies.com. Instead of one big braid, though, make six little braids.
• Bake or fry your fish.
• Combine the mayo, relish, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Once the bread has cooled, slice it like a hamburger bun. Place the fish inside and top with sauce, lettuce, and tomato.

Enjoy! This recipe serves 6.

I know I’ve said it before, but I really am going to follow through on Foodie Tuesdays from now until I get distracted again. If you’ve missed it and wonder why it’s been absent, scroll through my last few posts and see what a crazy summer of travel I had! I ate a lot of good food, but I didn’t do a whole lot of cooking. I’m back home and in the kitchen again, though, so be looking out for a lot of great recipes in the future! Check back every Tuesday and be sure to subscribe (up there in the right-hand sidebar) so you don’t miss them. See you next week!
