Light, slightly dry lemony bread. Mom-in-law gave me this one, her son's favorite bread. It's worth the time it takes to bake this one! If you know how to adjust this for a bread machine, please post your advice!

Ingredients
  • 3-3/4 to 4-1/4 cups regular flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. grated lemon peel
  • 2 envelopes yeast (quick-rise works too)
  • 1/4 cup soft stick margarine (not whipped style) or butter (makes it a richer flavor!)
  • 3/4 warm water
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup very cold margarine
  • sugar to sprinkle on top of loaf before baking

Directions
  1. Mix 1 cup flour with sugar, salt, lemon peel & yeast.
  2. Add soft margarine and warm water and beat 2 minutes on medium speed of mixer.
  3. Add eggs, vanilla, 1/2 cup flour and beat on high speed for 2 minutes
  4. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Cover and let rise 45 minutes (less, if you're using quick-rise yeast)
  5. Turn out dough on a floured board, rolling out to 1/2" thickness.
  6. Cut 2 tbsp. cold margarine into little bits, placing on center 1/3 section of the dough.
  7. Fold 1/3 side of dough on top of butter pieces and place another 2 tbsp. cold margarine on top of that section of dough.
  8. Bring last 1/3 of dough on top of the second margarine bits.
  9. Now you roll the entire chunk of dough to an 18" strip, fold into thirds again, wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  10. Repeat the same butter/folding process again two more times. (Seems a bit tedious, but this is what makes the dough so light and flaky!)
  11. Divide dough in half, lightly knead and shape into a loaf shape to fit your pans.
  12. Cover and let rise 35 minutes (less, if you use the quick rise yeast).
  13. Brush top of dough with a bit of milk & sprinkle with sugar.
  14. Bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
