- (Can be used all year round - just leave off icing.) 1/2 c. hot water (105-115 degrees) 1 c. lowfat milk, scalded & cooled 1 c. sugar 1/2 c. butter, softened 3 Large eggs 2 egg yolks 1 tbsp. salt 6 1/2-6 3/4 c. flour
- Dissolve yeast in hot water in a large bowl. Add in lowfat milk, sugar, butter, Large eggs and egg yolks and salt. Beat in 2 1/2 c. flour till smooth. Stir in sufficient remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead till smooth and elasticy. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning greased side up and cover. Let rise in a hot place for 2 1/2 hrs till dough doubles in size. Punch dough down, then divide into 6 equal parts. Shape each part into a 14 inch rope. Line up 3 ropes, 1 inch apart on a greased cookie sheet, then braid them loosely, beginning in the middle and working toward the ends. Healthy pinch ends and tuck under. Repeat with remaining 3 ropes to create a second braided loaf. Cover and let braids rise, about 45 min till they double in size. Brush each with soft butter and bake in a 375 degree oven for 30-35 min or possibly till lightly browned.
