Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
- 2 tablespoons honey (or sugar)
- 1/4 cup water (warmed)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 egg
- 6 cups flour
- 2 cups milk
Instructions
- Combine the warmed water, yeast, and honey (or sugar) in a bowl and let it sit until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, mix the foamy yeast mixture with milk, butter, egg, salt, and 5 cups of flour until well incorporated, then gradually add remaining flour until the dough pulls away from the bowl.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 7-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball, place it back in the bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into two sections, flatten each into a rectangle, and roll into tight logs.
- Place logs into greased loaf pans, cover, and let rise for another hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the loaves for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter after baking.
