      6    Env dry yeast
      2 c  Scalded milk
      2 c  Sugar
      1 lb Butter softened

      5 lb Flour
 
  Dissolve yeast in scalded milk and let it cool until you
  can put your finger in it and count to 10.
  
  Add 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup flour and allow it to
  rise and froth.
  
  Whip butter until creamy and add eggs, when mixed add
  yeast mixture.
  
  Start adding the flour to make the dough come together,
  remove from mixer and add flour as needed to be able to
  knead.
  
  Knead for 10 minutes or until dough is elastic.
  
  Let rise until it doubles in size, punch the dough and
  reshape it and let rise again.
  
  Bake at 350°F/175°C for 30 minutes - If you made small
  loaves, or 1 hour and 15 minutes for a large loaf.
  
  TIP: cover with foil if you think it is getting to brown
  before the cooking time is complete, it will need to stay
  in the oven to get done
  
  Serves 8 - 12
