Bread

Because Suzanne was "sweet" enough to pass this on to me;

Decadent Sweet Milk Bread

Description:
This makes a soft sweet loaf of bread. It can be totally made in a bread machine, however, I just used the machine to make the dough.

Ingredients:
1 cup of water
½ cup of sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of butter
3 1/3 cups of bread flour
2 teaspoons of yeast

Directions:
Put ingredients in bread machine and set for dough cycle. When complete, remove and separate into three sections. Roll each out like snakes and mesh ends together. Braid and press ends together. Place in baking dish and allow to rise for 25-30 minutes. (Here's a little trick: before braiding your bread, heat your oven to 175 degrees and then turn off. Put your braided bread in the warmed oven to rise.) Brush melted butter or egg white on top after rising. Bake at 340 for 30-45 minutes, until top is golden brown.

Note: If you want a better crust, heat some water in the microwave in an oven safe dish until near boiling. Then put in the oven......

And, because I scored a Oster Breadmachine from freecycle, today.

Thanks for the recipe...my Model loves any kind of bread. You are lucky to have gotten a bread machine. I need to check freecycle. Cool!
