Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup luke warm water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 egg for glaze
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Mix water with yeast and let it sit for a minute or so. Add sugar and salt.
- In small portions add flour. If you are using a mixer, use the dough hook and mix on low speed until the dough really comes together.
- Knead at medium speed for 2 minutes. The dough should clear the sides, but stick to the bottom. (If it is too sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time. If too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water to the dough to adjust.) Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Turn the mixer on again and mix for 3 minutes. When the cycle is completed, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and cover with a damp towel. Let it rise for 1½ hours.
- Divide the dough in half. Roll each portion into a 10-in. x 8-in. rectangle. Starting with the long side, roll up the dough jelly-roll style; pinch the edges to seal.
- Place the bread rolls onto a lined baking sheet. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, at least 30 minutes.
- Whisk the egg and water; and brush over the loaves. Using a sharp knife, make four shallow slashes across the top of each loaf. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
