Ingredients
Method
Remove 1 tsp (5 mL) of the sugar; set aside.
In saucepan, heat together milk, butter, salt and remaining sugar until butter is melted; let cool to lukewarm.
In large bowl, dissolve reserved sugar with warm water. Sprinkle in yeast; let stand until frothy, about 10 minutes. Whisk in milk mixture and egg.
Stir in 4 cups (1 L) of the flour, 1 cup (250 mL) at a time, to make soft shaggy dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead, adding as much of the remaining flour as necessary to prevent sticking, until smooth, elastic and quite soft, about 10 minutes.
Place dough in large greased bowl, turning to grease all over. Cover with plastic wrap or tea towel; let rise in warm place until dough is doubled in bulk, about 1-1/2 hours.
