Ingredients needed:
5 to 5 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
2 packages active dry yeast (2 tablespoons)
1 3oz package of egg-custard mix
1 teaspoons of salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons, butter or margarine
2 eggs
1/2 cup, plus 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, custard mix and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Mix well. Heat milk, water and 1/4 cup butter in saucepan until warm
(120 to 130 degrees, butter need not be melted). Add milk mixture and eggs
to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened, then for 3 minutes
at medium speed.
By hand, stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead on
floured board until smooth and elastic (5 to 8 minutes). Place in greased
bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until
doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).
For filling, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and set aside.
Punch dough down and divide into two parts. On lightly floured surface,
roll each half to a 14 by 7 inch rectangle. Spread each with 1 tablespoon
softened butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon filling. Roll up
tightly, pressing dough into roll with each turn. Pinch ends and edges to
seal.
Place in greased 9 by 5 inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise in warm place
until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour). Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40
minutes. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with mixture of 1 1/2
tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Remove from pans and cool
on rack.
This bread makes great French Toast.
