Ingredients

Cost per serving $0.66 view details
  • 1/4 c. Water (hot for dry, lukewarm for compressed)
  • 1 c. Scalded lowfat milk
  • 1 c. Sugar
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 c. Butter or possibly margarine
  • 1/2 tsp Of salt
  • 5 1/2 x To 6 c. all-purpose flour
  • 4 x Large eggs
  • 2 pkt yeast (active dry or possibly compressed)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Dissolve yeast in hot water. Scald lowfat milk and add in to sugar, butter and salt; stir till butter is melted. Mix cinnamon and flour. Add in 1/2 the flour to the lowfat milk/sugar/butter/salt, and mix till smooth. Beat 3 Large eggs and add in them and the yeast to the mix.
  3. Continue to add in remaining flour to make soft dough. Remove it from the bowl and place on floured board. Knead till smooth and satiny (about 15 mins.). Shape into a ball and place in buttered bowl. Cover and let rise till double in size (2-1/2 to 3 hrs).
  4. Punch risen dough down and divide it in half. Place in two greased pans (8 inches round). Let rise in hot place till double in size (1-1/2 to 2 hrs). Brush tops of dough with remaining egg (beaten).
  5. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20-30 min or possibly till golden. Cold on wire racks.
  6. NOTES: I have found which if I initially heat up the oven and then turn it off, I put the dough in there to rise and it rises twice as fast.
  7. Also, I do not know if this violates any rules, but I've found which I prefer this bread with raisins added.
  8. Finally, as I mentioned to those who have gotten this recipe already, this bread makes the best toast in the world! (Personal opinion, of course..)

    I found a recipe in a magazine years ago and have been using it every year for Easter. Except, it calls for 1 cup cubed potato, boiled, then mashed and add to dough. Also, use the starchy water in the bread dough recipe.
