I found this recipe when I was looking for recipes to be posted for ZWT5. It is from the New Betty Crocker International Cookbook. So soft and light!

01Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl.
02Stir in milk, 3/4 cup sugar, 3 eggs, salt, margarine or butter, and 3 cups of flour.
03Beat until smooth.
04Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle.
05Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic - about 5 minutes.

06Place in a greased bowl and let rise in a warm place until it is double in size - about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

07Punch down dough and divide in half.

08Shape each half into a round slightly flat loaf.

09Place each loaf into a well greased round 9" x 1 1/2" pan.

10Cover and let rise until double (a/b an hour).

11Heat oven to 350°F.

12Beat 1 egg and brush over tops of loaves.

13Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar.

14Bake until loaves are golden brown, about 35-45 minutes.
