* Coarse or raw sugar is available in specialty stores.
Melt butter in saucepan on stovetop. Add milk and sugar; stir well
and heat to 110 degrees F, slightly more than lukewarm.
Pour into mixing bowl, stir in yeast to dissolve and let stand 10
minutes. Beat in eggs, then gradually beat in flour mixed with salt.
Knead dough until smooth and elastic on lightly floured surface.
Cover with a damp towel and let rise until doubled.
Punch dough down, shape into a 7-inch round. Place in greased 9-inch
cake pan. Beat egg yolk with water and brush over dough; sprinkle
with coarse or raw sugar. Cover with damp towel and let rise in a
warm place until doubled.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until well
browned and hollow sounding when tapped lightly. Cool on rack. Serve
warm or toasted. To serve, cut bread into quarters, then slice each
quarter into five slices, each about 1-inch thick.
