"Süsses Laible" - sweet breakfast bread

Recipe:

500 g plain flour

70 g sugar

250 ml warm milk

40 g fresh yeast (1 packet of dry yeast)

1 tsp salt

125 g unsalted butter

3 eggs

Stir together the milk, yeast and sugar. Let it stand in a warm place until bubbly (10 minutes).

 Meanwhile heat butter in a little pan carefully and let it cool down again. 

Mix together flour, yeast dough, melted butter, salt and 2 eggs. 

Now you knead the dough for about 10 minutes on a floured surface or with your kitchen machine.

Now let it rise in a warm place until it is double the size.

Knead the dough once more with little flour and put into the shape you want it to be.

Transfer the dough on to your buttered baking pan and leave for another 30 minutes.

Cover the sweet bread with stirred egg or milk to get a nice light brown colour. 

Now you can bake it at a medium temperature for about 45 - 50 minutes.
