Hawaiian Sweet Bread Recipe Serves: 1 large loaf ½ cup milk, warmed 3½ teaspoons dry yeast ½ teaspoon sugar 1 cup evaporated milk or light cream 5 tablespoons butter large pinch nutmeg 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel 4 cups bread flour 4 eggs, lightly beaten, plus 1 egg beaten for glaze 1 teaspoon salt Mix milk, yeast and ½ teaspoon sugar. Allow to stand until the mixture is bubbly. In a saucepan, warm the evaporated milk. Add the butter, nutmeg, sugar and lemon peel. Stir until the butter is melted. Place the flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, the yeast mixture and the salt. Add enough of the evaporated milk mixture just to form a soft dough. Knead for 15 minutes. Allow the loaf to rise to double it’s size. Punch it down and let it rise again. Form into a round loaf and allow to rise one more time. Preheat the oven to 325F. Mix the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush it on top of the loaf of bread. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes.
