Give yourself 5-6 hours to make this bread. Makes 2 Bunt pans of bread, or bunt and loaf pan, or nice rolls. (unless those of you who make things rise faster want to try your methods!!)
1/2 Cup Lukewarm water
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 T Yeast
Stir Together let set for 10 minutes
Add 1/4 cup more sugar, 1 T Salt, and 1 1/2 cups more warm water. Separately beat 2 eggs then add to mix.
Mix in 3 cups Bread Flour
Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Add in up to 4 more cups bread flour (determine by if batter is pulling away from side of bowl) and knead until flour is absorbed
Cover with damp cloth and let rise for 2 hours. After it has risen, punch it down and let it rise again about 1/2 hour.
Melt 1/2 square BUTTER for each pan in bottom of pan.
Cut dough in half, roll out 1/2 to about 1/4 " thick, cut circles of dough with a donut cutter ( I used a cookie cutter that was a bit bigger) Place the circles standing up inside bunt pan on their edges, filling each bunt pan with half of the dough. Cover and let rise again for 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 Degrees. Cover bunt pan with aluminum foil and bake 15-20 minutes, remove aluminum foil and bake until top is light brown.
You can rub a little butter on the top when it comes out. When you flip it out of the pan it should have a beautiful medium brown butter flavored bottom. Best served hot!
