    ½ c. Hy-Vee unsalted butter
    1 c. plus 1 tbsp Hy-Vee granulated sugar, divided
    2 ½ tsp. Hy-Vee baking powder

    5. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into an 11-by-2-by-1-inch loaf. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
    6. Stir together the reserved egg white and water; brush on dough. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar.
