Croissant Loaf Recipe

3/4c of water

3 1/2 T of butter

1 1/3 t of vanilla

2 eggs

5 T of sugar

1 t of salt

4 c of all purpose flour

3 t of yeast

1/3 of the dough, fold that section over and spread more butter on that side and then fold over again, (like folding a business letter). Wrap the folded dough in a clean tea towel and put in fridge for 15 minutes. Remove and knead it

4 or 5 times. Cut in half and place in two greased bread pans. Let rise and bake in a

350 F oven for 30 minutes or until golden. There should be flaky layers when you cut into the bread. My family likes it toasted.
