Caldwells Cookbook

3 1/2- 3 3/4 cup bread flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter, softened

1 teaspoon salt

1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast

1/2 cup very warm water

1/2 cup very warm milk

1 large egg

Mix 2 cups of the flour, sugar, butter, salt and yeast in large bowl. Add warm water, warm milk, and egg. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 min then medium speed 1 min, scraping bowl frequently. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead about 5 min. or until dough is smooth and springy. Place dough in large greased bowl. Cover bowl loosely and let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until double. Separate dough into 6 balls. Place on greased baking sheet. Cover loosely and let rise for 30 min. or until double. Heat oven to 375. Bake for 15-20 min. or until golden brown. Let cool completely. With a butter knife cut a circle around the top at least 1/2 inch from side. Pull off top and some of the inside and place on the plate next to bread bowl. Fill with soup or fondue and serve.
