Basic Sweet Bread

Here is Mom's sweet bread recipe. This is what she uses for her amazing cinnamon rolls!!! Wish me luck! Since Mom is not around this weekend to make cinnamon rolls I am going to attempt it for the first time.

Ingredients
1/4C butter
1tsp salt
1/4c sugar
1c milk,scalded and cooled to lukewarm
1 package yeast, active dry or compressed
1/4c warm water
1 egg slightly beaten
About 4c regular all purose flour
softened butter


Place butter,salt and sugar in large bowl; add lukewarm milk,stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt and to melt the butter. Soften the yeast in warm water add along with beaten egg, to the milk mixture. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of flour. 1 cup at a time beating vigorously to blend. Scrape dough from the sides of the bowl and brush the top of the dough and sides of bowl with softened butter. Cover dough and let rise in a warm place about 2 hours or until almost doubled in bulk. Then turn out on a well floured board and knead lightly, adding flour until dough is no longer sticky (do not use more than 1/4 to 1/2 cup flour on the board) Shape and bake at 350 until golden brown
