Pepper Bread

This recipe was passed on to me by my aunt; we used to beg for her to make this as children. The pepper is slight in comparison to the overall taste. The brushed egg yolk mixture gives the bread a crunchier outside and soft inside.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper

  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages fast-rising yeast

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 ¼ cups water

  • 3 tablespoons soft margarine

  • 1 egg

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 egg yolk

  • 1 tablespoon water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a tube pan.

  2. Stir together 3 cups of flour, the sugar, pepper, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl.

  3. Heat water and margarine to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) in a saucepan over low heat. Pour the hot water-margarine mixture into the flour; quickly stir a few strokes to combine. Stir in 1 egg, beat the mixture to form a loose batter, and stir in 1 1/2 cups of flour. Knead the dough on a floured work surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes.

  4. Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces, form them into rolls, and place them into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set the pan into a sink of hot water (about 115 degrees F/46 degrees C) until the rolls have doubled in size, about 15 minutes. Beat egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water until thoroughly combined; brush the dough with the beaten egg yolk mixture.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
