| 1 envelope
yeast 1/6 cup warm water 1 tsp sugar 2/3 cup milk 1/6 cup butter 1 egg 1/3 cup brown sugar |
2/3 tsp salt 3 cups flour � GLAZE: Egg 2 tsp milk |
| Combine yeast with water
and 1 Tbsp of sugar until it is frothy.� Scald the milk, add the butter, and cool.
� Beat the eggs until light and pour off 2 tsp to be mixed with milk to make glaze.
� Add the sugar and salt to the beaten eggs and beat until thick.� Light brown
sugar makes the bread ivory color instead of pure white.� Sift flour into a large
mixing bowl.� Combine yeast, milk, and butter and egg mixtures and add to the flour.
� Beat very hard for 10 minutes, adding more sifted flour if necessary to make a
light but stiff dough.� Knead 3 or 4 minutes on a floured board.� Put the dough
into a greased bowl and set the bowl in a dishpan of warm water, cover with a tea towel,
and let dough rise until double in bulk.� Punch it down and let it rise again. �
Form into loaf and put the dough in greased bread pan.� Let rise in a warm place
until the dough comes to the top of the pan.� Brush with the glaze.� Put the
bread in a cold oven, turn the oven to 400 degrees and bake for 20 minutes.� Then
reduce the heat to 375 degrees and bake 20 to 25 minutes more. NOTE:� Ingredients can be mixed in Cuisinart. |
