Directions: |
Directions:1. Prepare the yeast in 1/4 cup lukewarm milk, 4 tablespoons and 1 tablespoon sugar. Blend together. Let it rise
2. Beat in electric mixer, butter and sugar, add sugar gradually. Beat until fluffy. Add eggs, beat some more until fluffy.
3. Heat to lukewarm the milk and stir in vanilla.
4. Take about 3 cups flour, the raised yeast, and mix well. Then add the beaten egg, sugar and salt. All this will look very loose, but keep on adding more flour, beat with wooden spoon, use all the flour, but make sure the dough is not too stiff. Beat with wooden spoon until the dough looks shiny.
5. Let rise about 1 1/2 to 2 hours in a warm place. Now beat the dough again and start putting your dough into greased and floured bread pans, about 2/3 full. Let rise again in pans. ( The second rising take a lot less time, not as long as the first time.)
6. Bake in 350 degree oven for 35 to 45 minutes.
7. Make crumb topping. In order for the crumbs to stay in place, I beat an egg white , brush it on the top of the dough, already in pans then press it. (I mean the crumbs, press them on the dough.) Now place your pans again in a warm spot to rise. |

Notes: Note;; The recipe calls for 11/2 cups sugar, but I put in 2 cups, which makes it a bit sweeter and if you like raisins, put 2 cups of raisins, but first blanch them for 10 minutes, drain and add to the recipe.
