Batter Bread

Ingredients

• 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

• 1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)

• 1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)

• 1/2 cup butter, softened

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 2 teaspoon salt

• 3 eggs

• 5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour

• HONEY BUTTER:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened

• 1/2 cup honey

Directions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, sugar, salt, eggs and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Do not knead. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Stir the dough down. Spoon into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
5. Combine the honey butter ingredients until smooth. Serve with bread. Yield: 12-16 servings.

*Can be baked in two loaf pans for easier cutting.
