Sally Lunn Bread

By clawson

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm milk
• 1 (0.25-ounce) package yeast
• 1/4 cup sugar, divided
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

What To Do:

Place the milk in a small bowl and dissolve the yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the flour, the remaining sugar, the butter, eggs, and salt; mix well. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.

Place the dough in a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan that has been coated with nonstick baking spray. Cover with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Remove the plastic wrap and place the bread in a cold oven on the center rack. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut and serve.
