How To Make swedish bread

  • 1
    Mix Butter, sugar, salt and hot milk together, and let cool to lukewarm. stir yeast into warm water to prof. Stir eggs, yeast, and extracts into 5 cups of flour and pudding mix. Bring together into "loose dough" Beat in mixer for 5 min, then let rest for 10 min.

    At this point I divide into 2 batches. It makes ALOT of dough, and most mixers cant handle it. Add 3 more cups of flour to first batch and bring together into a shaggy dough. Repeat with second batch. Beat both batches with dough hook for 10 min. Let again rest 10 min. Then beat in the rest of flour till you have a soft dough that pulls away from bowl and doesn't stick. Should feel like a "Babies Butt" LOL

    Combined batches and put into a JUMBO Zip top like bag with some oil coating it all, and rise till double, 2-3 hours.
  • 4
    Punch down dough and shape as you like. I do braids and a Pan. Again cover and rise till double.
  • 5
