INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Scald milk
and add to sugar, butter and salt; stir until butter is melted. Mix
cinnamon and flour. Add 1/2 the flour to the milk/sugar/butter/salt,
and mix until smooth. Beat 3 eggs and add them and the yeast to the
mixture. Continue to add remaining flour to make soft dough. Remove it
from the bowl and place on floured board. Knead until smooth and
satiny (about 15 mins.). Shape into a ball and place in buttered bowl.
Cover and let rise until double in size (2-1/2 to 3 hours). Punch
risen dough down and divide it in half. Place in two greased pans (8
inches round). Let rise in warm place until double in size (1-1/2 to
2 hours). Brush tops of dough with remaining egg (beaten). Bake in 350
degree oven for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire
racks. NOTES: I have found that if I initially heat up the oven and
then turn it off, I put the dough in there to rise and it rises twice
as fast. Also, I don't know if this violates any rules, but I've
found that I prefer this bread with raisins added. Finally, as I
mentioned to those who have gotten this recipe already, this bread
makes the best toast in the world! (Personal opinion, of course..)
