Steps:
- Combine 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Heat milk, water, and 4 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over low heat until warm to the touch. Pour into the flour mixture; beat on low speed until just combined. Increase speed to medium; add eggs and beat for 2 minutes, scraping sides of the bowl occasionally. Gradually stir in up to 2 more cups flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Dough will be very sticky; use a scraper and add remaining flour only as needed. Shape dough into a ball and place in a large greased bowl; turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough starting from the center, then pushing in the edges. Transfer onto a lightly floured surface and cut dough in half. Cover with a bowl and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar, lemon zest, and mace in a small bowl. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small pan. Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan with cooking spray.
- Cut each dough half into 16 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball by tucking ends under. Dip tops in melted butter and place half of balls in the tube pan; sprinkle with 1/2 of the lemon mixture. Repeat with remaining dough balls, butter, and lemon mixture. Cover with a towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place tube pan on a cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bread is golden and sounds hollow when lightly tapped, about 35 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes; remove and let cool on a wire rack.

Tips:
- To ensure the bread cooks evenly, preheat your oven before baking.
- Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor. Zest the lemon just before using, as the flavor dissipates over time.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough bread.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack. This will help prevent the bread from breaking.
- For a sweeter bread, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
- For a tangier bread, add an extra 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the batter.
- This bread is best served warm, but it can also be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Lemon bubble bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give lemon bubble bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
