Bread made with eggs?

tru

My friend makes her bread with eggs - none of the recipes in my book has eggs in the ingredients. She's on hols at the mo so I can't ask her, does anyone have a recipe for it?

I thought that too But she said 'no, the eggs go in the breadmaker with the other stuff. It's yummy. I'll ring you with the recipe.' Well she didn't ring. Probably cos I laughed at her :rotfl:

2lb loaf

3 eggs
(make up to 310ml with water)
560g strong white flour
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp milk powder (optional)
2 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp butter/oil
1 sachet (2 1/2 tsp) yeast.


Put the eggs in a measuring jug and top up to the right level with water. use your Basic Loaf setting.

Edit: Is this the right size for your breadmaker or do you need quantites for a 1 1/2 lb loaf?

I just grabbed it out of my trusty breadmaker handbook - you didn't think I'd memorised it did you?

I did manage to remember that it was there though!

There is a yummy Jewish bread called Challah which is made with eggs - it's usually plaited/braided (which you obviously cannot do in a breadmaker!) but I don't think it will taste any different if it's not:
