BUTTER BREAD
This egg bread is shaped into les gemeaux, or “the twins,” a pair of loaves baked in
the same pan. You can bake this specially shaped twin-humped loaf in your bread ma-
chine on the Basic or Variety cycles as described below. Or you can remove the dough,
shape it into the twin loaf (with the seam in the middle), place it in a loaf pan (8-by-4-
inch for 1

pounds dough; 9- by-5-inch for 2 pounds), cover it with plastic wrap to
rise for 45 minutes, and bake it off in your oven for 40 minutes at 350°F. If you don’t
want to do anything fancy with this loaf you don’t have to; just run it straight through
the Basic cycle. When you slather it with jam, you won’t need the butter; it’s already in
the bread.
