Columbus Day Italian Sweet Loaf Recipe


Ingredients

2 package dry yeast
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup melted butter
2 whole eggs plus 3 egg yolks
1 tsp salt
4 1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1 egg yolk combined with: 2 tsp flour
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp water


Directions

Dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in warm water in a large mixing
bowl.

Set aside for about 10 minutes or until the yeast has become foamy.
Stir in the butter, eggs, additional yolks and salt. Blend well. Add
the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well. Turn the dough out onto a
floured board and knead with additional four for about 5 minutes or
until the dough is elastic and not sticky. Divided the dough in half.
Flatten and shape each half into a round loaf. Place on a greased
baking sheet, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rise in a
warm,draft free place until the loaves are doubled in bulk, about 1-2
hours. Brush the egg mixture on the top of the loaves and slash twice
with a sharp knife. Sprinkle with additional sugar and bake in a
preheated 325 F oven for 35-40 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack before slicing. Makes 2 loaves.

The History of Recipes

We can track the history of written recipes way back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.

Later on, there were a couple of interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food served to the upper classes of that time.

By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more disposable income.
