This recipe comes from sister Chris's daughter-in-law Kate, it is her grandma Cay's recipe.
  • 2 yeast cakes (4 1/2 teaspoons yeast)
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 cube) + extra for brushing
  • 4 1/2 cups flour
 
  1. Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water.  
  2. Beat 2 eggs well, add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup warm water, and the melted cube of butter. Add to yeast mixture.  Add 4 1/2 cups flour with spoon.  Mix well.  
  3. Let dough rise 1 1/2 hours, punch down dough before putting in refrigerator.  Bring dough out 3 hours before you want to bake off.  When you remove dough from refrigerator, let dough rise for a second time 1 1/2 hours.
