Has anyone heard of a recipe for Egg Bread?

Question

It is kind of like yeast bread. I can remember my Mom making it when I was a child.

Answer 1

A Number One Egg Bread
INGREDIENTS

* 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
* 2/3 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
* 6 egg yolks
* 3 eggs, room temperature
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 1/4 cup white sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 egg
* 1 pinch salt

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Stir in the yolks, 3 eggs, oil, sugar, and salt. Add about 3-1/2 cups of flour to make a sticky dough.
2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead with remaining flour until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn to oil the entire surface of the dough. Cover with a damp cloth. Place in a warm place until double in size, about 1-1/2 hours.
3. Punch down the dough, and divide into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 12 inches long. Braid the three strands together, and seal the ends. Place the bread on a greased cookie sheet. Beat the remaining 1 egg with a pinch of salt; brush onto bread. Let the bread rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush the bread with eggwash again.
5. Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Answer 2

Braided Egg Bread Recipe

4-3/4 to 5-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1-1/4 cups water
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 beaten egg yolk (optional)
2 teaspoons poppy seed (optional)


In a large mixing bowl stir together 2 cups of the flour and the yeast; set aside. In a medium saucepan heat and stir water, sugar, margarine, and salt just till warm (120° to 130°) and margarine almost melts. Add water mixture to dry mixture along with the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping the sides of the bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Shape the dough into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface of the dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place till double in size (about 1 hour).

Punch dough down; divide in thirds. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Roll each third into an 18-inch rope. Place ropes on a large baking sheet 1 inch apart and braid. Cover; let rise 30 minutes or till nearly double. Brush braid with egg yolk and sprinkle with poppy seed, if desired.

Bake in a 375° oven for 25 to 30 minutes or till bread sounds hollow when you tap the top (if necessary, cover loosely with foil the last 10 minutes of baking). Remove bread from pan. Cool on wire rack. Makes 1 braid (32 servings).

Make-Ahead Tip:Wrap cooled bread in freezer wrap or place in airtight freezer container. Freeze up to 1 month. Thaw overnight. Wrap bread in foil; bake in 375° oven for 10 minutes or till warm.

Answer 3

Well, it's simple. Just before baking the bread, when it's still a bit like a liquid-paste, add a couple of eggs, and you know, depending on the amount of the bread.

Hope I helped you!!
