1 & 1/2 cups milk, scalded

1/2 cup butter

2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup sugar

3 packages dry yeast

1/2 cup warm water

2 eggs, beaten

9 cups flour

Pour scalded milk over butter, salt, & sugar. Cool. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until it bubbles. Add yeast to beaten eggs and then to cooled milk. Gradually add flour - only enough to make an easily handled dough. Turn out on floured surface and knead until smooth & elastic. Place in greased bowl, cover and let rise about 1 hour. Punch down and shape into 3 loaves. Place in greased loaf pan and let rise until doubled. Bake at 450º F for 10 minutes. Lower temperature to 350º F and bake 40 minutes longer.
