Here is a delicious dessert bread that will make everyone’s mouth water. The maple syrup in the recipe gives the bread a unique flavor and the icing, flavored with lemon juice, tops off the sugary experience. This recipe is for one loaf of bread, baked in an 8x4 inch loaf pan.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2/3 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons dry milk
  • 1 tablespoon shortening
  • 2 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

PREPARATION:

  • Using liquid measuring cup, measure in maple syrup. Pour syrup into medium bowl. Using the same measuring cup, measure the warm water and pour into bowl. This helps loosen the sticky maple syrup from the measuring cup and gets it into the bowl.

    Add dry milk, shortening, yeast, and salt. Stir until dissolved.

  • Mix in flour, a half cup at a time.

  • Turn dough out onto floured board and knead for about 5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour a tablespoon at a time.
    br]
  • Grease medium bowl. Put dough in bowl and turn so that the dough is greased on the top. Cover and let rise in warm place for about 45 minutes or until double in size.

  • Punch down dough. Turn out onto floured board and knead for about 3 minutes. Shape dough into loaf.

  • Grease loaf pan. Put loaf in pan, cover with clean cloth and allow to rise for about 30 minutes or until double in size.

  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

  • Remove loaf from pan and let cool to warm on rack or clean cloth.
