Steps:
- Check the yeast: (see footnotes if you'd like to make this dough in the breadmaker)Dissolve 2 tsp of yeast with 1/2 cup milk and 1 tsp of sugar from the overall amount and leave in a warm location until frothy, about 10-15 minutes. If the mixture does not froth up and rise, discard the yeast and start over when you have a fresh batch of dried yeast.
- Combine all ingredients:Into a bowl of a mixer sift 3 cups of flour. Then add 1/3 cup sugar, remaining 1/2 cup warm milk, 4 egg yolks, 2 tbsp sour cream, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, and the risen yeast mixture. By hand, using a spoon or the hook of the mixer quickly mix the ingredients until a rough, shaggy mixture forms.
- Knead: Then, attach the hook back to the mixer and knead on low speed (speed 2 to 3 on a Kitchenaid mixer) for about 20 minutes or until the dough stops sticking to the side of the bowl, feels elastic, and is tacky to touch. If the dough is properly kneaded a small piece can be stretched into a see through "window" without tearing.Pro tip: Do not overknead past a point where the dough is elastic and stretchy. If the gluten is overworked it will tear, leaving you with a chunky dough that doesn't have the strength to hold a good rise of the dough.
- Add 3 oz of butter and 1/4 tsp of the salt and knead it into the bread until no streaks of butter are seen, (~5-7 minutes). Sometimes tearing the dough into chunks helps to incorporate the butter easier/faster.
- 1st Rise: Oil the sides of the bowl and the dough. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and leave in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1.5 hours. Boil a cup of water in a microwave for several minutes. Remove the cup with water. Place the bowl with the dough in the warm microwave for the dough to rise. This gives the dough a nice warm place without being too hot.
- Shape: This recipe makes one large braid. To make two smaller sweet yeast bread loaves divide the dough into two, then shape two separate braids instead of one like the recipe instructs.Once risen, divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Weighing the dough is the best way to divide the dough evenly. Next, roll each piece into a tight ball, then into a 20-inch log. If the dough is hard to stretch or it springs back too much, cover with a tea towel leave for 10-15 minutes. This will relax the gluten and make it easy to roll.Pinch the ends of the 3 strands together at one end, then braid them into a braid pinching the ends together as well. Now, tuck both ends of the braid underneath itself slightly to give it a better shape.
- 2nd Rise: Transfer the sweet yeast braids to a 12"x18" baking sheet pan. Space them evenly. Cover with a clean tea towel. Transfer to a warm place once again until the braid doubles in size.
- Prep before baking: Once doubled in size preheat the oven to 350F with the baking rack centered. Brush the braid with a whisked egg yolk and water and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds if you wish. Applying the egg yolk mixture several times will give you a darker glaze once baked.
- Bake the braid for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown. You can also check for doneness with a thermometer. The center of the thickest part should register 195°F. If the top starts to brown before the inside registers 195F, loosely tent the sweet yeast bread with foil.Once baked, remove from the oven to a cooling rack and cool completely before cutting or eating.

SWEET BREAD (FOR BREAD MACHINES)
Years ago when I lived in Colorado, a neighbor, Pat gave me a loaf of bread for an early Christmas present. It was so lucious that I asked for the recipe, and then discovered it was made in a Bread Machine...so asked for one for a Christmas gift from my husband. I have been making this recipe ever since. It is the favorite of all breads I make. I usually use the dough cycle and bake in a conventional oven since I prefer the crust texture that way.

Steps:
- Depending on the type of machine you have put the wet and dry ingredients in your machine as per it's instructions. (mine says wet first, then dry-- making a well in the flour to put in the yeast last.).
- Set the machine to it's bread setting.
- Start the machine and remove the cooked bread when the cycle is finished.
- ***If you wish you can set the unmixed dough to the 'dough' setting and dough removed at the end of the dough cycle so it can also be made by hand and baked in a 375 degree oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Special note**A inexpensive way to purchase your bread flour is at one of the warehouse markets.
- I buy 25 pound bags at Sam's for less than$5.
- 00 a bag.
Tips:
- Follow the recipe precisely: Bread machine recipes can be quite precise, so it's important to follow the recipe exactly as written. This means using the correct ingredients, measuring them accurately, and following the instructions in the correct order.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always produce better-tasting bread. This is especially true for the yeast, which should be active and fresh.
- Don't overfill the bread machine: The bread machine should be filled to no more than two-thirds of its capacity. Overfilling the machine can prevent the bread from rising properly.
- Choose the right bread machine setting: Most bread machines have a variety of settings, such as "white bread," "whole wheat bread," and "sweet bread." Choose the setting that is appropriate for the type of bread you are making.
- Let the bread cool before slicing: Once the bread is done baking, let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the bread to set and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Sweet bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a bread machine, it's easy to make sweet bread at home. Just follow these tips and you'll be able to enjoy fresh, homemade sweet bread in no time.
