How to Make
-
Step 1: In a pyrex mixing bowl, combine milk, sugar, salt and butter. Heat in microwave until butter is melted.
-
Step 2: Meanwhile, in small bowl, dissolve both packets of yeast into warm water with a pinch of sugar.
-
Step 3: Measure flour into another mixing bowl. Add eggs and stir slightly, until just combined.
-
Step 4: Add melted butter mixture and stir just a little.
-
Step 5: Add yeast and stir just enough so that all ingredients are incorporated.
-
Step 6: Spread dough into a greased 10 x 13 pan and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
-
Step 7: While dough is rising, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Step 8: Mix together topping ingredients and sprinkle over dough.
-
Step 9: Place in oven over a halfsheet to catch any syrup that runs over the top.
-
Step 10: Bake for 22-27 minutes, being careful not to overbake. You want the top golden and syrupy.
-
Step 11: Serve warm.
