Soft sweet bread

  1. Activate Yeast:
    • In a bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    • Add the activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and vanilla extract.
  4. Knead Dough:
    • Mix until a dough forms, then turn it out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. First Rise:
    • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
  6. Shape the Dough:
  1. Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into two equal portions.
  2. Second Rise:
    • Shape each portion into a loaf and place them into greased loaf pans. Cover them with a cloth and let them rise again for about 45 minutes.
  3. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Bake:
    • Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
  5. Cool:
    • Allow the sweet bread to cool in the pans for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Slice and Serve:
    • Once cooled, slice and enjoy your soft sweet bread.

Feel free to get creative by adding raisins, cinnamon, or even a sweet glaze on top before baking. This versatile bread is perfect for breakfast, snacks, or as a base for various sweet creations.
