Quick Egg Bread
This is an easy bread to make and a fun one to eat, since rolls can be torn easily from the bubble loaf. I’ve been making this for years, but don’t remember where the original recipe came from. – Terry
Ingredients
- 3 to 3½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 envelopes fast-rising dry yeast
- 1½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup hot water (120°F to 130°F)
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl combine 3 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a large bowl and mix well.
- Separate 1 egg; set white aside. Mix yolk and remaining egg, hot water and oil together and add to dry ingredients. Mix vigorously with a wooden spoon until smooth.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, kneading in additional flour if necessary. Cover with mixing bowl and let rest 5 minutes.
- Divide dough into 16 pieces. Arrange pieces in prepared pan. Beat reserved egg white until foamy. Brush over rolls and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Set wire rack in 9×13-inch baking dish. Add enough boiling water to come just below rack. Set pan on rack. Cover with towel and let rise in warm draft-free area until double in size, about 25 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 20 minutes or until rolls are deep golden and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Serve rolls warm.
