Pepper Bread

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a tube pan.
2. Stir together 3 cups of flour, the sugar, pepper, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl.
3. Heat water and margarine to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) in a saucepan over low heat. Pour the hot water-margarine mixture into the flour; quickly stir a few strokes to combine. Stir in 1 egg, beat the mixture to form a loose batter, and stir in 1 1/2 cups of flour. Knead the dough on a floured work surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces, form them into rolls, and place them into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set the pan into a sink of hot water (about 115 degrees F/46 degrees C) until the rolls have doubled in size, about 15 minutes. Beat egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water until thoroughly combined; brush the dough with the beaten egg yolk mixture.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.

"Great taste! I made this with whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour and honey instead of sugar. I love the light airy texture!..." See more"

"the bread bakes as one. Think of this recipe like that of a monkey bread. Once the individual pieces rise, it will bake as a whole loaf. Hope that helps you...." See more"
