COUNTRY CRUST BREAD 
2 pkgs. active dry yeast
2 c. warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
1/2 c. sugar
1 tbsp. salt
2 eggs
1/4 c. salad oil
6 to 6 1/2 c. flour
Soft butter

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in sugar, salt, eggs, oil and 3 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in enough flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured board. Knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turn greased side up, cover, let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Push dough down, divide in half, shape into loaves. Place in greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch pan. Brush loaves with salad oil, let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from pans.
