List of Ingredients




2 cakes live yeast or 2 envelopes of dry yeast
3/4 cups of warm water
1/2 cup of softened butter, (1 stick)
1/2 cup of sugar
4 large eggs
4 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
One 1 inch piece of vanilla bean, scraped
1 teaspoon of salt

Decoration: optional
1/4 cup of soft butter
1/4 cup of flour
Glaze:
2 egg yolks mixed with 1/4 cup of water

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let the yeast sit in a warm but not hot area, until ready to use. Cream the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at time and beat the entire mixture for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 cups of the flour to the egg mixture and stir well until thoroughly mixed. Add the yeast and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining flour, the dough should be soft and spongy. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Set aside in a warm place and let it rise until it doubles in size. Punch the dough down. Then shape the dough into a 12 inch circle, about 2 inches thick. Place the circle on a buttered baking sheet. Cover with the towel and let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350�F. While the dough rises, mix the softened butter with flour and put it into a pastry bag that has a small plain tip. Once the dough is ready, brush it with the mixture of egg yolks and water. Make 3 slashes across the top of the bread using a very sharp knife, Use the butter and flour mixture to pipe on a design, ie a name, holiday greeting or other decorations. Bake for about 35 minutes or until the loaf is golden and it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Makes 1 large loaf
