Instructions
-
Dissolve Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the dry yeast in warm water.
-
-
Mix Ingredients: Add the milk, melted butter, eggs, salt, and 1 cup of flour to the yeast mixture. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed for 2 minutes.
-
Scrape and Stir: Scrape the batter from the sides of the bowl. Gradually stir in the remaining flour until the mixture is smooth.
-
First Rise: Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, approximately 30 minutes. Afterward, stir down the dough by beating it about 25 strokes.
-
Prepare Casserole: Spread the dough evenly in a greased 2-quart casserole dish.
-
Second Rise: Cover the casserole and allow it to rise until doubled again, about 40 minutes.
-
Preheat Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Bake: Once risen, place the casserole on the low rack of the oven so that the top is centered. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
-
Finish: Immediately remove the bread from the casserole and brush the top with melted margarine. Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
This Casserole Bread is perfect for any occasion, making it a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire! Enjoy the delightful aroma and the satisfaction of baking your own bread.
