Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 ⅓ cup warm water

  • Add water, salt, and oil to the bread pan. Then add flour, brown sugar, and add yeast. Start the bread machine on the dough cycle (2 hrs).
  • When the cycle is finished, place dough on a floured surface and cut into two equal sections. Shape into two loaves, and use a knife to add slits and decorate as desired. Brush with egg wash; scramble one egg and add a tbsp of water, then brush lightly over loaves. You will have extra egg wash leftover.
