2 pkgs. yeast, softened in 1/4 c. warm water
1 qt. buttermilk
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
2 beaten eggs
1/2 tsp. baking soda
8-9 c. flour

Combine buttermilk, salt, sugar, baking powder, eggs, and soda in large bowl. Add softened yeast and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth and well mixed. Add 4 more cups flour to make a soft dough.
