into 3 parts, form each into a round ball.
Place in 3 (8 or 9-inch) round cake pans that have been well greased.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until light and doubled insize, about
1 hour. If desired, brush loaves with glaze made of lightly beaten eggs.
Also sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-35
minutes or until loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped. Remove loaves
from pan immediately.
