1 c. milk
1/2 c. shortening
4 c. flour
1/3 c. sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 pkgs. dry yeast
3 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees ten minutes before bread is to be baked. Grease a 10" tube pan or a bundt pan.

Heat milk, shortening and 1/4 cup water until very warm, about 120 degrees. Blend 1 1/3 cups flour, sugar, salt and dry yeast in large mixing bowl. Pour liquids into flour. Mix and beat with mixer at medium speed, 2 minutes. Gradually add 2/3 cup more of flour and the eggs and beat at high speed for 2 minutes. Add remainder of flour and mix well.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until it doubles in bulk size, in about 1 1/4 hours. Punch dough down and place it into the prepared pan. Recover the pan and let rise for about 30 minutes. Bake 40 to 50 minutes.
