1 cake yeast
2 tbsp. lukewarm water
1 c. boiling milk
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter
3 c. flour, sifted

Crumble yeast in water and set aside for 5 minutes. Pour boiling milk over butter and salt; cool to lukewarm. Add yeast mixture. Add half the flour and beat until smooth. Add remaining flour and knead until smooth. Let rise until double in bulk, then knead again. Divide dough in half; shape into loaves. Place on buttered pans, cover with towel and allow to rise until doubled in bulk. Brush with beaten egg yolk. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
