2 cakes yeast
1/2 c. warm water
6 eggs
1 1/2 c. melted butter
4 1/2 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional)

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Beat eggs until light; add cooled melted butter, yeast and flour. Beat well with a spoon and let rise overnight. Next morning, add sugar and cinnamon and nuts; again beat with a spoon. Fill buttered pan or tall mold to 1/3 and set aside to rise. When bread is almost risen to the top of the pan, bake in hot oven, 400 degrees, until bread shrinks from the sides of the pan.
