HONEY WHITE BREAD

Steps:

• Place the water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. If the bowl is cold, be sure the water temperature doesn't drop below 110 degrees F. Add the yeast and sugar; stir and allow them to dissolve for 5 minutes.
• Add the milk, butter, and honey. Mix on medium speed until blended. Add the egg yolks, 3 cups of the flour, and the salt. Mix on low speed for about 5 minutes. With the mixer still on low speed, add 2 more cups of flour. Raise the speed to medium and slowly add just enough of the remaining flour so the dough doesn't stick to the bowl. Add the flour slowly; you can always add more but you can't take it out. Knead on medium speed for about 8 minutes, adding flour as necessary.
• Dump the dough out onto a floured surface and knead by hand for a minute, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Grease a bowl with butter, put the dough in the bowl, then turn it over so the top is lightly buttered. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and allow it to rise for one hour, until doubled in volume.
• Grease two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans with butter. Divide the dough in half, roll each half into a loaf shape and place each in a prepared pan. Cover again with the damp towel, and allow to rise again for an hour, until doubled in volume.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. When the dough is ready, brush the tops with the egg white and bake the breads for 40 to 45 minutes, until they sound hollow when tapped. Turn them out of the pans and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

• Put water in a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast over it; let stand 2-3 minutes and stir to dissolve.
• Combine the egg, honey, coriander, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a large bowl and mix well with a whisk or spoon.
• Add the yeast, milk and 4 tablespoons of the melted butter and beat until well blended.
• Stir in the flour gradually, adding only enough to form a soft dough that can be gathered into a soft ball.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface; if the dough is sticky, lightly butter your hands rather than add more flour.
• Knead until smooth and elastic, then shape the dough into a ball and place in a large, lightly buttered bowl, cover with a towel or non-stick foil and place in a warm spot until the dough has doubled in size (if you poke it with your finger, it should not"bounce back").
• Spread the remaining melted butter on the sides and bottom of a 3-quart round baking dish at least 3" deep.
• Punch down the dough and knead it for 2-3 minutes.
• Shape the dough into a round and place in the dish, pressing the dough down so it covers the bottom of the container.
• Return the dough to the warm spot and let it rise until it reaches the top of the pan.
• Preheat the oven to 350º.
• Bake the bread in the middle of the oven 50-60 minutes, or until the top is crusty and golden brown.
