Time 3h

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs
¼ cup melted butter, cooled
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups milk

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with a pinch of the sugar. Set aside to ferment, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the yeast mixture to a large bowl, and stir in the sugar, eggs, salt, flour, and milk until the dough comes together. Stir in the melted butter, then turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Cover dough with a cloth and set aside to rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
