This bread was always made by my mother when we had guests over for dinner. It pulls apart into sections for easy eating. Great with almost any dinner!

20 servings
  1. 1/2 cupmilk
  2. 1 1/2 cupwarm water
  3. 3 tbspbutter
  4. 2 tspsalt
  5. 1 packagesactive dry yeast

Cooking Instructions

3 hours
  1. 1

    Add warm water and milk to mixing bowl (approximately 130°F together)

  2. 2

    Add softened butter, sugar, salt, and yeast

  3. 3

    Allow mixture to proof for 5-10 minutes until the mixture starts to bubble slightly.

  4. 4

    Add flour gradually while mixing with a dough hook (or by hand). If the dough is sticking to the bowl, slowly add a bit more flour until dough does not stick.

  5. 5

    Knead dough until it starts to form separate balls (with hook), outside looks smooth, and dough starts to form stretch marks.

  6. 6

    Spray bowl with pam (and spray top of dough) and cover top with cling wrap. Allow to rise in a warm place for a few hours until dough doubles in size.

  7. 7

    Punch dough down and let set for 15 minutes.

  8. 8

    Divide into two balls

  9. 9

    Press each ball out into a 12x8 rectangle and spread softened butter on top.

  10. 10

    Cut each rectangle in half width wise and place one side upon the other. Repeat this step to finish with a long strip with 4 layers.

  11. 11

    Cut into fourths and lay each stack successively into a bread pan. Make sure a buttered side is touching a non buttered side.

  12. 12

    Let rise for about 1 hour. Loaf size approximately doubles.

  13. 13

    Bake both loaves at 375°F until golden brown, about 35 minutes.
