just made this recipe today...came out too high first time, adjusted it and second loaf is perfect.....I couldn't be happier... I make this on dough cycle too or the Kitchen Aid , after rise is done, I form into a loose braid let rest for 45 to 60 minutes, brush with melted butter, then bake 350 degrees, 30 minutes. Glaze with a thick confectioners sugar and cream frosting , and sprinkle toasted almonds on top, or sprinkles.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup warm whole milk or 2 percent milk
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons anise flavoring (or 3 tsp. if desired)
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup soft room temp. butter
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons gluten (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Directions:
1. Place in order of your manufacturers instructions for your bread machine (makes 1 1/2 pound loaf).
2. Place on sweet bread setting, light crust.
3. Checking as mixing that it forms a smooth slight tacky ball of dough.
4. If dough is sloppy, add a tsp, flour at a time.
5. If dough is too hard like, add a tsp milk, at a time.
6. Although at this time I did not have to adjust my dough upon mixing.
7. Remove when completed baking, to a wire rack.
8. Cool thoroughly before cutting with a serrated bread knife, or before storing.
