Here's an old Polish recipe handed down many, many years ago in my family. I believe it was sent over originally from Poland with my grandmother. This bread is one of the moistest, richest breads you'll ever lay eyes on. To top it off, it's fun to make with your children. Everyone gets to grab a ball of dough, dip it in melted butter, roll in the cinnamon and sugar mixture and PLOP it into the bread pan to rise. When this bread comes out of the oven HOT, be sure to have some room temperature butter on the table for everyone to lather his slice. This is a special treat for a weekend breakfast. Just scramble up some eggs, and hash browns and you're good to go for a great Family Fun Day!
