1 pkg. dry active yeast
1/4 c. warm water
1 c. milk, scalded
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. sugar
3 eggs
4 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt

Soften yeast in water. Cool milk to lukewarm and add it to yeast. Set aside. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix flour with salt and add to creamed mixture alternately with yeast mixture, beating well.

Beat until smooth. Cover and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour. Grease a 10 inch tube pan. Punch dough down and place in pan. Let rise until double in size, about 40 minutes. Heat oven to 350 degrees (moderate). Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and crusty.
