Calories: 592kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups water warm (110 degrees)
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- ¼ cup butter (unsalted), melted
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg whites
Directions
- Whisk the water, ¼ cup sugar and yeast in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to activate yeast.
- Add the butter, remaining sugar and salt to a Kitchen Aid bowl and stir to combine. Add the flour, followed by the yeast mixture and mix on low speed with the hook attachment for 2 minutes. Transfer the dough to an oiled stainless steel bowl, cover with a dish towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Grease two 9x5x3 loaf pans and set aside. Punch down dough and divide into 2 equal pieces. Roll each into the shape of a log and place into the prepared loaf pans. Cover with a dish towel and let rise in a warm place until dough rises just above the top of the pans, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Whisk the egg white well and brush over each loaf. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool completely on counter before slicing.
