Portuguese Sweet Bread

 

2 1/4 teaspoons yeast 4 cups bread flour 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 egg 4 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons butter or margarine, softened 2/3 cup milk 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons water 1/2 to 1 teaspoon lemon extract

Place all ingredients in order listed. Select light crust setting.

NOTE: the crust will be very brown. This is due to the high sugar content of the bread. It does not affect the flavor, however.
