Sally Lunn Bread
Sally Lunn Bread is an old-fashioned southern yeast bread with a little sweetness. Baked in a bundt pan, it looks like a pound cake, but definitely has the flavor and texture of a yeast bread.

Ingredients
1 1/2
cups
whole milk
3/4
cup
sugar
1/2
cup
butter
1
teaspoon
salt
2
(1/4-ounce) packets
active dry yeast
1/2
cup
warm water (100 to 110 degrees)
2
large
eggs
5
cups
all-purpose flour
Instructions
In a saucepan, heat milk, sugar, butter, and salt just until butter melts. Stir well and let cool to 100 to 110 degrees.
Combine yeast and warm water in small bowl. Let sit 5 minutes.
Add yeast mixture, butter mixture and eggs to a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until blended.
With mixer on low, gradually add in flour. Mixture will be very sticky.
Cover bowl and let dough rise for 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
Punch dough down and cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
Transfer dough to a well-gresed Bundt pan. I like to spray it with baking spray with flour. Cover and let rise for 20 to 30 minutes.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from pan immediately. Serve with butter or jam.
