1 1/2 cups milk or evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
2 packages dry yeast
4 eggs plus 2 egg yolks
7 cups all-purpose flour, sifted

To make dough:-

2. Grease a large bowl and a baking sheet and set aside.

3. Scald milk. Cool about 10 minutes. Add salt, sugar and butter. When mixture cools to between 105 and 115 degrees, add yeast and let stand 5 minutes.

4. Beat in eggs. Add flour 1 cup at a time. When dough begins to pull away from sides of bowl and can be gently kneaded, shape into a ball and place in greased bowl.

5. Cover with waxed paper and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
