  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 1/2 cups white flour

Instructions

  • Mix the hot milk, butter, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and let cool until lukewarm. Stir the yeast into the warm water and let it stand for 5 minutes to dissolve. Add the dissolved yeast and the eggs to the first mixture and beat vigorously.

Notes

How to Freeze Sally Lunn Bread 

  • Freezing - Sally Lunn Bread freezes beautifully! Freeze tightly covered or in a freezer-safe bag and it'll stay nice and fresh in the freezer for a couple of months.
  • Frozen slices - For even more ease you can slice the loaf and then freeze it. Then all you have to do is pull out a couple of slices at a time, toast them up and enjoy with a slather of butter and jam.
