Ingredients:
5 Cups All Purpose Flour
3 Tsp Instant Yeast
1 1/2 Tsp Salt
4 Tbsp Sugar
1/4 Cup Melted Butter
2 Cups Warm Milk
Egg Wash - 1 egg and 1 tbsp water combined
Directions:
If using a bread machine to mix and proof your dough:
Add all your dry ingredients followed by the wet ingredients and set to the dough cycle.
Preheat the oven to 375 F
Once the dough is complete, remove the dough and divide into 2 loaves on a lightly floured surface.
* Shape and place on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Score 3 lines into the tops of each loaf. Then cover and allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes
Brush tops of loaves with egg wash.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes on the middle rack.
Remove to a cooling rack and allow to cool before slicing.
If kneading the dough by hand:
Mix all your dry ingredients together first in a large bowl then add your wet into the dry. Mix it all together until it has come together. Turn out onto a floured surface and continue to work the dough for 5 minutes until the dough is stretchy and does not tear easily.
Once the dough is ready, place it in a greased bowl and grease the top of your dough as well. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place for 25 minutes.
After the dough has rested, resume directions as described above where the star * is.
