Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 1/4 tsp yeast
  • 2 tbsp honey or sugar
  • 1/4 cup water warmed
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp butter
  • 1 egg
  • 6 cups flour
  • 2 cups milk

Instructions
 

  • Combine 1/4 cup warmed water with yeast and honey/sugar. Set aside until foamy. If your yeast does not foam up, do not proceed to the next step. This means your yeast is not active.
  • Once the yeast mixture is foamy combine all yeast mixture, milk, butter, egg, salt, and 5 cups of flour. Mix to combine, adding in additional flour until the mixture pulls away from the bowl.
  • Knead mixture for 7-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth. Shape into a ball, place back into bowl, cover, and let rise for an hour, until doubled.
  • Place dough onto counter and divide into 2 sections. Flatten into a rectangular shape and roll into a log. Place into a loaf pan and let rise another hour.
  • Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Top with a little more butter if desired.
