| DIRECTIONS FOR SWEET DOUGH |
1. In large bowl, combine sugar, salt, yeast, and 2 cups flour. In
2-quart saucepan over low heat, slowly heat milk and butter until very warm
(120 to 130 F) (butter does not need to melt.) With mixer at low speed,
gradually beat liquid into dry ingredients. Increase speed to medium; beat
2 minutes more, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. 2. Beat in
eggs and 2 cups flour; continue beating 2 minutes, occasionally scraping
bowl. 3. With spoon, stir in enough additional flour (about 4 c 1/2 c) to
make a soft dough. 4. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until
smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape into a ball. 5. Turn over in
greased large bowl to grease top; Cover; let rise in warm place until dough
is doubled, about 1 hour. 6. Punch down dough. On lightly floured surface,
divide into pieces as recipes direct. Cover. Let rest 15 minutes.
