Add flour, butter and salt to sugar mixture. Process until mixed, about 5 minutes.

Turn on processor and gradually drizzle yeast mixture through feed tube into flour mixture.

Turn off processor and let dough stand 1 to 2 minutes.

Turn on processor and very slowly drizzle in enough remaining water to make dough soft, smooth and satiny but not sticky. Process until dough turns around bowl about 15 times.

Turn dough onto large greased cookie sheet. Shape into a ball. Cover with inverted bowl or plastic wrap and let stand 20 - 30 minutes. Roll out to an 8-inch circle. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand in warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Heat oven to 375 F. Uncover loaf and bake until evenly brown, 25 - 30 minutes.

Remove bread from cookie sheet and place on wire rack. Blend powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk to make a smooth mixture thick enough to spread. Spread over bread.
