1 c. milk
1/2 c. butter
4 c. sifted flour
4 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 pkgs. dry yeast
3 eggs
1/4 c. water

Grease a tube or bundt cake pan, or 2 twelve muffin pans. Heat milk, butter, and water until very warm (120 degrees). Put sugar, salt, yeast, and 1 1/2 cups flour in a large mixing bowl. Add warm liquid to the dry, and mix at medium speed for two minutes. Add the eggs and another 1/2 cup flour and beat two more minutes. Add the remaining flour and mix. This mixture will be thick.

Cover and let rise until double (about 1 1/4 hours). Beat dough down and turn into the pan or tins. Bake in cake pan 40 to 50 minutes in a 350 degree oven or 25 minutes in the muffin tins. When done, run a knife around the edge of the bread, and turn out to cool.
