Preparation
Chef’s notes
The first two times I made this, I had sugar overflow. Well, I did a little bit on the third time, too, but it was just a tiny bit and I was able to easily scrape it off. To avoid the sugar bubbling out and burning on your pan (bleh), make sure your butter is very solid, not melted, when you spread it on the dough. Also, just use enough sugar to cover the dough in a thin layer.
This recipe makes TWO loaves. I did freeze half of the kneaded and risen dough and then thawed it on the counter overnight and it worked beautifully.
