Amish sweet bread

 If you find it too sweet, add 1/3 c sugar. Makes 2 loaves. Great with jam or sandwiches. 

2 c hot water 110-115F

1/2 c sugar

2 packages yeast

2 T. Butter, melted

1 1/2 t. Salt

6 cups flour

Mix water, yeast and sugar. Let sit 10 minutes. Add cooled melted butter, salt. Slowly add flour. Knead the dough. Grease the bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let rise 1 hour. Punch down and divide in 2. Roll each out into a rectangle. Roll up like cinnamon rolls. Place in a greased loaf pan, seam side down. Cover and let rise 50 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Will continue to rise in the oven. Bake 25-30 minutes. Brush with butter.
