    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.
