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)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Punch down the dough and divide it into approximately 30 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest for coating.

Step 7

Dip each dough ball into the melted butter, then roll it in the lemon sugar coating.

Step 8

Place the coated dough balls into a greased bundt pan or a 9-inch round baking dish, stacking and layering them as needed.

Step 9

Cover the pan with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes, or until puffed.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

While the bread bakes, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl.

Step 12

Once the bread is done, allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.

Step 13

Drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm bubble bread. Serve immediately and enjoy!
