Ingredients
The following ingredients have 20 Servings

- 2 tablespoon(s) yeast
- 2 tablespoon(s) sugar or honey
- 2 cup(s) warm water
- 2 tablespoon(s) melted butter or oil
- 2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 6-7 cup(s) flour
- 1 - egg
- 2 tablespoon(s) milk
Instruction
- Mix 1/2 cup warm water, 2T yeast and 2T sugar together and allow the yeast to dissolve for a few minutes.
- Combine the 2 cups warm water, 2 T melted butter or oil and 2 tsp salt with yeast water.
- Mix in six cups of flour. Stir well by hand or mixer equipped with dough hook. If dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Form into a ball. Place in greased bowl and roll dough to grease the top of the dough.
- Let rise for 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature. It should expand to double it's size. ( i covered my bowl)
- Divide dough in half and roll out as you would pie dough.
- Roll up as a jelly roll. Place it on a greased baking sheet. ( I sprinkled a little corn meal on the cookie sheet)
- Make diagonal slits across the top with a sharp knife.
- Do the same with second ball of dough. Let rise about 1 hour or until double in size.
- Beat 1 egg and 2 T milk. Brush egg mixture over top of bread. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Try to let it cool before cutting into the loaf! Bet you can't! This bread is awesome with butter and a sprinkle of garlic powder!
- Note: She stated in the blog that "The dough can be used in a variety of ways. I'll demonstrate a long French type loaf, perfect for garlic bread. But you can put this dough in loaf pans or even make cinnamon rolls with it."
