This recipe comes from my best friend's aunt. It is a wonderful, chewy sweet bread that I can't keep my hands off of whenever I make it! Just a great, simple sweet bread recipe. Ingredients:
1/4 cup water |
1 1/2 cups warm milk |
1 package dry yeast |
4 tablespoons margarine, melted |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
4 1/2 cups flour (use more to knead) |
1 beaten egg |
Directions:
1. Mix together water, warm milk, and yeast.
2. Add melted margarine, sugar, salt and flour.
3. Knead dough, place in bowl, cover and let rise in warm place 1 hour.
4. Divide dough into 6 parts.
5. Shape dough into 6 long pieces (length of baking sheet).
6. On baking sheet, braid 3 of the pieces together like you would hair, then braid remaining 3 pieces together.
7. Cover and let raise 1 more hour.
8. Brush beaten egg on top and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
