The tantalizing aroma of this golden loaf baking always draws people into my mother's kitchen. With its circular shape, it's a pretty bread, too. I've never seen it last more than 2 hours once it's our of the oven! Jeanne Voss Anaheim Hills, California Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°) |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 teaspoon salt |
3 eggs |
5-1/2 to 6 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
honey butter: |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup honey |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, sugar, salt, eggs and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Do not knead. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Stir the dough down. Spoon into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
5. Combine the honey butter ingredients until smooth. Serve with bread. Yield: 12-16 servings.
