Ingredients

2 pkt active dry yeast

1/4 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)

1 cup lukewarm milk (scalded, then cooled)

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

3 eggs

1/2 cup margarine or butter, soft

6 cup all-purpose flour

1 egg

1 tsp sugar

Method

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl.

Stir in milk, 3/4 cup sugar, the salt, 3 eggs, the margarine and 3 cups of the flour.

Beat until smooth.

Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.

Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up.

Cover; leave to rise in warm place until double, about 2 hours.

Punch down dough; divide into halves.

Shape each half into a round, slightly flat loaf.

Place each loaf in greased round layer pan 9 x 1 1/2 inch.

Cover; leave to rise until double, about 1 hour.

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat 1 egg slightly; brush over loaves.

Sprinkle with 1 tsp sugar.

Bake until loaves are golden brown 35-45 minutes.
