BELGIUM VERVIERS BREAD

Steps:

• Proof the yeast in the lukewarm water with the 1 teaspoon of the sugar.
• Scald the milk, add the rest of the granulated sugar and add the stick of butter to melt in the hot milk and add the salt. Let stand until lukewarm.
• Blend the yeast sponge with the milk butter and sugar-salt mixture, stir in the 2 eggs and add the flour, by 1/2 cups, stirring until you have a smooth dough.
• Add the sugar cubes and turn onto a lightly floured work surface, adding more flour if the dough seems sticky. Knead a couple of minutes to get the sugar cubes well incorporated.
• Place the dough in a large buttered bowl, cove r with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• After the dough has doubled in bulk, knead for a few minutes on the floured work surface and divide into 2 equal pieces. Butter two round 8 inch cake forms and shape the dough into 2 round cakes to fit into the forms.
• Cover with a towel and let rise again in a warm place for about 45 minutes.
• Bake for about 30 minutes or until they are nicely browned on top. If you can, serve them warm! Yield: 2 small round loaves. Can be frozen.
• Breads Of The Worlds.
