The Bottom Line Great coffee/sweet bread - perfect for the holidays & hearty.
Ingredients: 2 env. active dry yeast 1/4 c. warm water 2 c. warm milk 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup butter (softened) 1 1/2 tsp. salt 2 eggs 3/4 tsp. ground cardamon 7-8 c. all-purpose flour In bowl, dissolve year in warm water. Add milk, sugar, butter, salt, cardamon, eggs,and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a dough. Turn onto floured surface; knead until smooth (about 6-8 minutes). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. Divide each half into thirds. Shape each piece into a rope. braid ropes; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise until doubled about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Remove from pans to cool and sprinkle tops with coarse sugar. I got this recipe out of the Taste of Home Magazine (which I also reviewed here): http://www.epinions.com/content_193607011972 It's a somewhat difficult process, slightly time consuming. My Mom/Gramma & sisters LOVED this recipe! They ask me to make it frequently. It received rave reviews. It's worth the effort because it's great for holidays & makes 3 large & beautiful looking loaves & tastes heavenly. Taste: Like a coffee bread. Simple yet the cardamon is sweet & the coarse sugar makes it a sumptious bread. Great with butter, or plain. Very good with coffee or at Christmas breakfast with eggs. Also, makes a nice gift to bring to someone's house if wrapped in colored celophane with a bow.  |
