Easter Sweet Bread!!!

Hi Everyone!! Spring is finally seeming to peek it's head out with some flowers blooming here and there I know my allergies are coming thru full speed ahead!! Easter is right around the corner so I was thinking maybe some of you might want to have a good old fashioned Easter Bread Recipe!!

6 to 7 cups Flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
2 pkg of Active Dry Yeast
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter or margarine (I use butter)
1 egg

Put 4 cups of flour in bowl sprinkle dry yeast over the flour (sounds weird but it works)
Melt butter add cup of milk & water add to flour
Beat egg with 1/2 cup sugar.
Add to flour.
As you are working it add flour a little at a time. Dough should be sticky,but not wet. Smear butter over Dough. Let it rise for 3 hours. Need it,put it in tube pan, let it rise for one hour. Bake @350 for 45 min. You can drizzle with conf sugar frosting once it cools.
And some pretty little candy they sell in bakery section during this time of year.

*Icing is just confectonary sugar vanilla and milk you need to eyeball it the way you want it for this you would want it to be thin not a frosting thick any questions just ask me please!! thanks!!

Happy Easter!! Hoping to come back with a Ricotta and Rice Pie Recipe!!

Buon Appetito~
Mangia!
Have a wonderful day and remember to cook for your soul!!

Thank you!
