Rich Egg Bread

Reply

Edit

3 to 3 1/4 cups all purpose flour (bread flour works great)

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 package regular or quick acting dry yeast  (2 1/4 teaspoons)

1 cup warm water

2 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 egg

1 large egg (1 yolk and 2 tablespoons water) optional to brush on top before putting in oven for browning. Alternative is brushing loaf with butter when it comes out of the oven.  (I usually do this :)

Add yeast with 105-110 degrees water. Add sugar and salt.  Set until bubbly.  (10-15 minutes) Add beaten egg and remaining ingredients.
Dough hook for mixing works well with this recipe.  Either knead for 10 minutes or dough hook for 5.  Rise 1 hour, place in greased pan, rise again till indentation remains when touched.  Or just gauge it. :)

I used this recipe for the New Years 2017 pretzel!  Sesame and flax seeds on top after brushing with egg yolk. ~ Carol ~
