1 c Warm water
1/2 lb Margarine softened

As you can see by previous Greek bread recipes, the
Greek Housewives made plenty of bread. These recipes
are directly from Greece and are in fairly large
quantity.However this and other bread recipes can
easily be halved for the smaller hosehold. All yeast
breads freeze well too.

Crumble yeast in the warm water and let dissolve. Beat
the margarine until light and mix into the flour and
yeast mixture. Then stir in the oil, sugar, salt,
cinnamon, eggs if using ( a lighter baked good ) and
the milk, adding " more if needed" to produce a
kneadable nonsticky dough. Knead smooth and elastic.
Cover in a large bowl and let rise double. Punch down
and let rise double again. Shape into 5 loaves and
place in pans. Beat egg and milk together and brush
loaves. Slash top of each bread. Bake 400 for 15
minutes and then 375 for 30 to 40 minutes or until
golden and done. Recipe can be halved easily.
