Simple Sweet Bread

2. 2

   Using an electric mixer, or bread making machine, add the ingredients in this order: eggs, warm buttermilk, oil, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast. Mix for 10 minutes to get a smooth but sticky dough. If necessary, add a little more flour or warm buttermilk. Place the dough in a plastic bag, close tightly, and let rise for 2 hours.

3. 3

   Place the dough on a floured surface, and knead lightly to expel air. If the dough is too soft and sticks to your hands, add a little more flour, but not too much otherwise the bread will be tough. Shape the bread loaf or loaves, and place on a large, greased baking tray. Use a sharp knife to make a few diagonal cuts on the top of the dough. Let dough rise for 40 minutes more.
