Finally found it! Success!

Yes, I cannot believe it. I have found the famous sweet bread recipe that my grandmother used to make. We loved this bread. The house always smelled so good when we came in after gram had been baking. I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it too.

Polish Sweet Bread

1 cake of yeast 1 cup sugar

2 cups lukewarm milk 4 eggs (beaten)

8 cups flour 1 cup white raisins

Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup of water. Melt margarine/butter in milk. Add sugar and salt. When cool add eggs, yeast and flour. Then add cinnamon and raisins. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic. Let rise until double. Punch down and let rise again. Put into greased loaf pans. When it has risen in pans, brush with egg and put crumb topping on. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
