Ali’s Italian Sweet Bread
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of warm milk
- 6 cups Turkey Brand Unbleached Bread Flour (#2285)
- 4 Tbsp Kirkland Butter (#1723), softened
- 1/2 cup C & H Granulated Sugar (#1632)
- 2 tsp Regal Fine Sea Salt (#1146)
- 2 eggs
- 4 tsp SAF Instant Yeast (#2446)
Instructions:
- Add all ingredients except milk to bread maker on dough setting. Turn bread maker on and slowly pour milk over top of flour mixture.
- Knead for 20 minutes. Cover with food film (#6127) and let rise for one hour. Should rise to over double its size. Punch down.
- Roll dough into two rectangles on floured surface. Roll up Jelly Roll style, pinch seams together. Place on greased cookie sheet (#4020) and score 4 to 5 times on top with knife. Brush with melted butter or egg wash. (Butter makes a soft crust, egg wash a crispier crust).
- Let rise one hour.
- Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until deep golden brown on top.
- You could also make in bread pans, but my family likes the French style bread. Makes 2 loaves. Also makes 24 delicious rolls.

Do you have a recipe to make this without a bread machine?

We don’t have a non-mixer version of this recipe. However, the same basic process could be followed from your favorite by-hand roll or bread recipe using these ingredients. Just knead by hand and proof as usual.

My bread machine dough setting is 2 hours. Do I then remove it to rise?
