My mother, Polly, was famous for the special bread she made for the family at most holiday gatherings. As you can see in the attached photo, the presentation is very pleasing to the eye. And it's delicious! The bread was coined "Polly's Bread" by my children and has been requested and enjoyed by friends and relatives for many years.

Things You Will Need
Two one pound frozen bread loavesA Bundt Pan
Butter
Garlic Salt
Step 1


Step 2


Step 3


Now, arrange the dough slices in a Bundt pan, alternating the direction the pieces are pointing. Always place the buttered side of the bread slice against the unbuttered side of the adjacent piece. You'll find that the 16 pieces of bread are just the right amount to fill the Bundt pan. (See the photo)
Step 4


Cover the Bundt pan with a towel, and let the dough rise for approximately two hours. The rising takes place best in temperatures around 100 degrees. You may use an oven for this step, but make sure the temperature isn't much above 100 degrees. I suggest warming the oven and then turning it off before putting the dough in to rise. When the dough has risen an inch or two above the lip of the Bundt pan, it's time to bake Polly's bread.(See the photo)
Notice how alternating the bread slices made an interesting pattern in the raised dough.
