1 cup warm milk
granulated sugar

Pistachio
Bread Method
Combine
the yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar and water in a large mixing
bowl and allow to proof. Then add the milk, softened butter,
salt and 1/2 cup sugar to the yeast mixture. Add the flour
cup by cup beating well after each addition. This dough is
easy to handle but will be a little sticky at this stage.
Turn out on a lightly floured board and knead for a good 10
minutes or until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball and
place in a buttered bowl and turn to coat the surface with
butter. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm draft free
spot to double in bulk. Punch the dough down and turn out
on a floured board. Let rest for a few minutes then roll into
a rectangle about 18 x 12 inches. Brush the surface with the
melted butter and sprinkle with 1/3 cup additional sugar and
the coarsely chopped pistachio nuts.
Beginning with the long edge of the rectangle roll up the
dough like a jelly roll pressing each seam as you do so. Join
the ends of the roll and pinch together to form a ring then
place the ring carefully on a buttered baking sheet. Slice
two thirds of the way down into the ring at 3/4 inch intervals.
Twist each slice to the right so that the interior of the
slice is now facing upwards. Let the ring rise in a warm draft
free place until almost doubled in size. Brush the entire
surface with beaten egg then bake the Pistachio Bread in a
preheated 375 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes until nicely
browned. Cool on a rack before serving.

Bread!
