Ingredients
5 lbs of flour
3 1/2 cups of sugar
1 tbs salt
3 yeast cakes (dry)
3/4 cup warm water 105 to 115 degrees
3tsp sugar
1 dozen large eggs beaten, room temp
1 lb melted butter
2 cups warm milk
Directions
Mix yeast, 3tsp sugar, and 3/4 water and set aside. Save a side a little flour and mix the rest with 3 1/2 cups sugar and salt. Add beaten eggs, butter, 2 cups of warm milk. Mix well. Add yeast mixture, knead, adding more flour until mixture is not sticky. Cover dough for 10 minutes to rest, make 4 equal balls of dough, put in greased and floured pans. Cover with greased wax paper and and dish towel. Put in a warm place until doubled in volume. It will take HOURS. I usually leave it overnight and put it in to bake in the morning. Bake on 350 for 10 minutes then lower heat to 325 and bake for an additional 45 minutes to an hour. It is done when you tap on it and it sounds hollow. |
