Portugese Sweet Bread

Ingrients & Directions


2 Pkgs. yeast
1 c Milk
1/2 c Warm water
1 ts Salt
1 c Sugar
2 oz Butter or margarine
3 Beaten eggs
7 c Flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine yeast, water & 1 teas. sugar;
let stand 5 minutes. Beat eggs in large bowl. In small pan, combine
milk, salt, butter and sugar; stir over low heat until milk is warm
(butter may not be melted). Gradually stir in egg, then beat in 3
cups flour; add yeast and heat until smooth. Gradually add enough
remaining flour to make dough; turn on to lightly floured board and
knead 8 to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, cover, let rise until
doubled in bulk (1-1/2 hours). Form into 4 small loaves (I usually
use cake pans for baking the bread.). Let rise until doubled or at
least an hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool on rack.
