Directions:Into the mixing bowl, add 2 c flour, 2 tsp salt, 2 tsp yeast, 1/3 c brown sugar & mix it up a bit.
Add warm milk and egg. Stir it around till combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes (so yeast can “get going”). Add the remaining flour ½ c at a time until dough pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl and develops into a nice lump (touch it, and feel for smoothness & elasticity).
Continue mixing (on low!) approximately 2 minutes to knead. Spray a larger bowl with PAM or lightly oil it. Remove dough from hook and form a nice ball. Put in bowl and spray or oil the top. Cover with a towel and put it in a warm area to double in bulk (1-2 hours).
Once doubled in bulk, remove from bowl, roll (with a rolling pin) into a rectangle then roll it up, folding under the sides. Put into an oiled bread pan and cover. Let rise till doubled again.
Preheat oven to 350º. Mix 1 egg with 2 tbsp water and brush it on top of the loaf. Bake approximately 30-45 minutes or until internal temperature of 190º.
Remove from pan and cool on rack.
Cinnamon Bread –
Before rolling up dough into a loaf, sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar
Sweet rolls –

Roll up (pinching seam to keep rolls from unwinding!), cut into rolls, put into greased pan with room to grow. Bake 350º 25-35 minutes or till done.
Remove from pan IMMEDIATELY. Mix 1/3 stick softened butter, 1 ½ c powdered sugar, pinch of salt, ½ tsp vanilla and enough milk to make a nice glaze. |
