Easter Bread or Sweet Bread

Sweet Bread 

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 cup of flour in bowl sprinkle the dry yeast over the flour. ( I know this sounds weird but it works)

Melt butter add cup of milk & water add to flour

Beat egg with 1/2 cup of 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 the dough. Let it rise for 3 hours I covered with saran wrap and 2 kitchen towels and put in a warm dark room for about 4 hours and boy did it rise! Then you need it and put it in a greased tube pan, let it rise for another hour or two. Bake @ 350 for 45 minutes. You can drizzle the confectionery sugar frosting over it once it cools and put those little sprinkles if you would like.

The frosting is just confectionery sugar and half and half.

Enjoy 

Happy Baking!!
