  As you can see by previous Greek bread recipes, the
  Greek Housewives made plenty of bread. These recipes
  are directly from Greece and are in fairly large
  quantity.However this and other bread recipes can
  easily be halved for the smaller hosehold. All yeast
  breads freeze well too.

  Crumble yeast in the warm water and let dissolve. Beat
  the margarine until light and mix into the flour and
  yeast mixture. Then stir in the oil, sugar, salt,
  cinnamon, eggs if using ( a lighter baked good ) and
  the milk, adding " more if needed"  to produce a
  kneadable nonsticky dough. Knead smooth and elastic.
  Cover in a large bowl and let rise double. Punch down
  and let rise double again. Shape into 5 loaves and
  place in pans. Beat egg and milk together and brush
  loaves. Slash top of each bread. Bake 400 for 15
  minutes and then 375 for 30 to 40 minutes or until
  golden and done. Recipe can be halved easily.
