Sweet bread "Sun"


This is a sweet version of the previous bread I posted.
Its worth trying both of them!!

Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup and 1 table spoon sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 table spoon lemon juice
1 tea spoons salt
1 table spoon yeast ( 2 pk)
1 table spoon melted butter


Method:

All ingredients should be at room temperature.
Mix a table spoon of each-salt, sugar, flour. Add the yeast and 2 table spoons of the milk.
Milk can be warm for faster raising of the yeast, but not hot! Keep in a warm and dark place, I use the microwave or oven, for 5-10 mins until you see the mixture forming bubbles on top and its raising.
Beat the eggs, sugar and the milk in separate bowl. Add vanilla and lemon juice.
Combine the eggs, yeast and 2 and 1/2 cup flour and knit until all comes together in a ball.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and start knitting for 10 mins while using the rest of the flour as needed.
Divide the dough to 3 pieces.
Roll each piece into a circle  and brush 2 of them with butter.
Place each layer on top of the other, the last layer is the one without the butter.
Place a cup in the middle of the top circle and press down. With a knife start making cuts from the cup to the end of the layers. Continue until all of the bred is cut. I made 9 pieces. You can make from 6 big to 12 small. Depends how many you need.

You can also cut 4 pieces,  each one of them to 3 smaller.
Lift each piece with a knife and and twist 1 or 2 times. Press the ends down to the baking dish.


Cover with cloth and let stay in warm and dark place for 1 -2 h. The bread will raise faster if you preheat the oven little bit, for 2 mins on 350. We are not baking the bread at this stage. Just letting it rest and raise.

Next, brush some butter or oil on top of the bread and sugar.
Bake in preheated oven to 350F for 30mins.
