Instructions



1. In a pot, scald the milk, stir in the honey, salt and butter. Cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl, measure the water into it and then sprinkle the yeast over it. Mix in the 3 Cups of flour and the milk mixture and beat it until it's smooth. Make sure to add enough additional flour to make a stiff dough. Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead until smooth. When the dough is smooth, place it in a covered bowl and refrigerate it for 2 - 24 hours.
   
2. After it has been refrigerated, divide the dough in half. Roll one half of the dough into a 20 inch circle. Place the dough into a well greased 10 inch springform pan, with 2 inches of the dough overhanging the side of the pan.
   
3. For the Filling:
   In a skillet, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain the grease. Add the spices and let it cool completely. Then place the meat filling inside the crust.
   
4. Steps which must also be prepared and added on top of the meat filling:
   - 1 lb. of mushrooms that have beef fried in 2 Tablespoons of butter. Make sure it has cooled.
   - 2 sliced onions that have beef fried in 2 Tablespoons of butter until tender and has been cooled.
   - 1/2 lb. of mild grated cheddar cheese
   
   
5. Last Step:
   Roll out 2/3 of the second piece of dough into a 12 inch circle. Cover the loaf and crimp edges tightly shut. Decorate the top of the loaf with the remaining dough. Brush the top of the loaf with 1 beaten egg. Poke a hole through the middle to vent.
   
6. Bake at 400°F. for 30 minutes until crust is browned. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it set 5 minutes. Remove collar from springform pan. You can serve this Loaf Delight hot or cold.
