dough.

Divide into 2 parts. On lightly floured surface, shape each half into a
round loaf. Place in greased 8 inch layer cake pans. Cover; let rise in
warm place until almost doubled, about 15 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for
4045 minutes. Combine One fourth cup water and cornstarch for glaze in small
saucepan; heat to boiling. Brush on loaves 5 minutes before end of baking.
Sprinkle caraway seeds on loaves, if desired. Return loaves to oven for 5
minutes or until glaze is glossy and loaves sound hollow when tapped.
Remove from pans when cool.
