Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cups Warm milk (about 110°F)
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 cups Lemon juice
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.3 cups Butter, melted (for coating dough balls)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar (for coating dough balls)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest (for coating dough balls)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast.
In a separate bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into approximately 30 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest for coating.
Dip each dough ball into the melted butter, then roll it in the lemon sugar coating.
Place the coated dough balls into a greased bundt pan or a 9-inch round baking dish, stacking and layering them as needed.
Cover the pan with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes, or until puffed.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the bread bakes, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Once the bread is done, allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
Drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm bubble bread. Serve immediately and enjoy!
