This Jewish egg bread is a little lighter than some, using water instead of milk.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 7/8 cup water
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
PREPARATION:
Place water, salt, honey, eggs, melted butter or margarine, flour, and yeast in order given into the bread machine. Set the machine to Dough cycle, and start.
Remove dough from the machine after first rising. Divide dough into three or four equal pieces. Braid the pieces, and tuck the ends under. Place on a greased baking tray. This bread can also be made in a 9 x 5 inch greased loaf pan. Allow to rise until doubled in size.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes. Bread is done when the crust is golden brown.
