Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Pkgs. yeast
1 c Milk
1/2 c Warm water
1 t Salt
1 c Sugar
2 oz Butter or margarine
3 Beaten eggs
7 c Flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine yeast, water &
1 teas. sugar; let stand 5 minutes. Beat eggs in
large bowl. In small pan, combine milk, salt, butter
and sugar; stir over low heat until milk is warm
(butter may not be melted). Gradually stir in egg,
then beat in 3 cups flour; add yeast and heat until
smooth. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make
dough; turn on to lightly floured board and knead 8
to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, cover, let rise
until doubled in bulk (1-1/2 hours). Form into 4 small
loaves (I usually use cake pans for baking the
bread.). Let rise until doubled or at least an hour.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool on rack.
