Sweet Bread

Jeff Caldwell

There are many different bread recipes out there and during this time of shelter in place is seems everyone is making bread. I say that because the grocery stores or out of flour. This recipe comes from my daughter and it is pretty good. If you like the bread this is on a Kolache then you will enjoy this one

  • 1 ½ tsp yeast
  • 2 tbsp warm water
  • ½ tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 ½ cups flour (all purpose)

Directions:

  1. Dissolve yeast with sugar in the water
  2. Let stand 10 minutes
  3. Scald milk
  4. Stir in butter and sugar and let cool.
  5. Add salt and egg.
  6. In a large bowl combine milk and yeast mixtures.
  7. Start adding flour 1 cup at a time till you begin to work the dough with your hands (you should have used about 3 cups)
  8. Knead the dough working in the rest of the flour.
  9. Clean and grease your bowl; place dough in bowl; grease the top with a little oil; let rise until double in bulk
  10. After you create whatever you are going to with the dough, put in a greased pan and let rise another hour.

Notes:

Our first attempt with this recipe was making a loaf filled with dark chocolate and cinnamon. We loved it and you should make a creation of your own.replique montre
