Makes 1 loaf. In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, lemon peel, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat milk, butter, and water until very warm (120 degrees to 130 degrees F); stir into dry ingredients. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough.

Beginning at long end, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seam and ends to seal. Place roll, seam side down, on greased baking sheet. Curve ends to make horseshoe shape. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until almost doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes. Brush with beaten egg. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until done. Remove from sheet; let cool on wire rack. Frost with Powdered Sugar Frosting, if desired.
