5 lbs. flour
4 1/2 c. sugar
1 doz. eggs
3 cubes butter
3 c. milk
1 tbsp. salt
6 pkgs. yeast

Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup lukewarm water. Scald milk; pour slowly over beaten eggs. Add sugar and butter which have been creamed together. Can add 1 teaspoon of lemon extract to milk and egg mixture. Mix well. Cool until lukewarm. Sift flour into large pan with salt. Add above ingredients. Add yeast, milk, and egg mixture. Knead until smooth; dust hands with flour so dough will not stick to hands. Make a medium firm dough. Set aside in warm place. Cover with towel or blanket. Let rise for 5 to 6 hours. Work dough again and let rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Bake loaves 35 minutes in 300 degree oven. Rolls take less time.
