BEST BASIC SWEET BREAD

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, sugar and butter. Heat until slightly warm to the touch then remove from heat and stir in the yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Mix in the eggs, oil and the yeast mixture. Mix until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of oil. Place the dough into the bowl and turn once to coat. Cover and let stand in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
• Use remaining oil to grease a cookie sheet or 9x13 inch pan. For plain rolls, punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and place them into the greased pan side by side. Let dough rise for 20 to 25 minutes, or until almost double. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until rolls are golden brown.

SWEET CORN YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• Slice the corn kernels off the ears. (Stand a paper bowl upside down in a large mixing bowl, and rest the end of the cob on the paper bowl. This will allow you to slice all the way to the end without losing control of your knife.) Using the spine of the knife, milk any remaining corn off the cob into the bowl.
• Puree the corn in a food processor until smooth. Add yeast, salt, sugar, flour and butter and process until a smooth ball forms and cleans off the sides of the work bowl. (Because the corn may have a variable amount of water, you may need to add more water or flour to achieve a smooth, elastic dough.).
• Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Knead for 10-15 turns, then form into a ball. Place into an oiled mixing bowl (turning to coat), cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 90-120 minutes.
• Place a rack in the middle position and preheat oven to 350°F Punch dough down, knead again on a floured surface for 6-8 turns, then form into a tight ball. Place on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal and let stand, loosely covered, until doubled in bulk, 40-50 minutes.
• Remove cover, slash the surface with a lame or very sharp knife, and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, and internal temperature is ~205F, 35-40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature on a rack before slicing.
