Basic Bread Dough
Makes 2 loaves. 2 (1/4-oz.) packets of yeast 2 cups warm water 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided 1/2 cup sugar 2 tsps. salt 1/2cup melted butter 1 egg 1. Mix yeast with 2 cups warm water. 2. Combine 2 cups of flour, sugar and salt. Add melted butter and egg. Then add in yeast with water. Mix well. Add remaining flour slowly. 3. Knead 5-8 minutes, then set dough aside, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. 4. Continue making sausage bread as specified in recipe above. For plain bread, divide dough in two, place in 2 greased loaf pans, let dough rise again for about 1 hour and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes, or until loaves are nicely browned. Note: This makes good cinnamon rolls or pull-apart cinnamon bread. Just make small to medium balls out of half of a recipe of the basic bread dough or 1 loaf of frozen bread dough, thawed. Roll the balls in cinnamon and sugar. Then place in a well greased Bundt pan with about 1/2 cup of cinnamon sugar and several pats of butter on top. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 35-40 minutes. You can remove from pan immediately and drizzle a simple icing on top.
