I am doing some pre-cooking for Mother's Day and I decided to serve this
bread with the bbq. It came out beautiful. Made this today. Did it in an
ABM and then formed the loaf and let it rise for a long time. Baked it
in the oven. Very tasty loaf.

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      envelope      dry active yeast
   2      tbsp          sugar
   1 1/4  cups          warm whole milk -- I used low fat
   8      cups          all-purpose flour
   1 1/2  tbsp          salt
   2      lg            eggs
   7      lg            egg yolks
     1/4  cup           pureed canned chipotles
     3/4  lb            unsalted butter -- + a little for crust

I IMMEDIATELY CUT RECIPE IN HALF. MACHINE CAN'T HANDLE 8 CUPS OF FLOUR!!

Cookbook directions: In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and
milk. Allow to sit until foamy, about 10 min.

In a mixer bowl, combine the flour and salt. Mixing with a dough hook on
low speed, add the yeast mixture. Gradually add the eggs, egg yolks,
pureed chipotles, and the butter and continue mixing for 15 minutes,
until silky and springy.

Leave the dough in the mixer bowl, cover, and set the dough in a warm
place to rise for 1 hour, or until doubled. Punch down, cover with
plastic wrap, and allow to rise for 30 minutes more. Shape the dough
into 2 loaves, being careful to press out any air, and place in 12x4x4
inch loaf pans. Rub the tops with butter and allow to rise for 2 hours,
covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake 25 minutes or until firm on topp. (When you press it, your finger
shouldn't go through the crust.) Cool in the pans. Makes 2 loaves.

For ABM: Ingredients - 1-1/2 tsp. dry active yeast, 1 tbsp sugar,
1/2+1/8 c. warm low fat milk, 3 cups of all-purpose flour (or more), 3/4
tbsp salt, 1 lg egg, 3 egg yolks, 1/8 cup pureed chipotles, 12 tbsp
butter (1-1/2 sticks), cut in small pieces.

Directions for ABM: Place dry ingredients in the order your machine
calls for (mine starts with yeast). Then add in most of the wet
ingredients, except for the butter. Set machine for Basic cycle & Manual
or Dough. Press Start. As it is mixing, add butter in small amounts
everytime one piece is incorporated. Also add flour (if needed). When
dough feels like a "babies bottom" stop adding ingredients (I ended up
using 7 tbsp butter instead of 12) and I needed 7 tsp extra flour.  

Follow shaping and baking directions as book calls for. ABM version
makes 1 loaf.
