How to make homemade egg bread

This is a soft, slightly sweet white bread. It’s got a more tender crumb than regular white sandwich bread, partly because it’s made with milk, not water, and partly because it has more fat in it, in the form of eggs.

Ingredients

– 9 1/2-10 1/2 cups all purpose flour – 2 pkg active dry yeast – 2 1/2 cups milk – 6 tablespoons sugar – 6 tablespoons butter – 2 scant teaspoons salt – 4 eggs

Instructions

 In a mixer bowl, combine 4 cups of the flour and the yeast.

Step: 1

Heat milk, sugar, butter, and salt together to 120-130 ° F.   Add to flour mixture; beat until combined.   Add eggs, and beat for 3 minutes.

Step: 2

Step: 3

Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.   Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead 3-5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

Place dough in bowl, cover with wet tea towel, and let rise in warm place for an hour.
