Easter Bread
- Ready In:
- 2hrs
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
6 loaves
ingredients
- 3 tablespoons fast rising yeast
- 4 1⁄2 cups very warm water
- 8 eggs, beaten
- 2⁄3 cup butter, softened
- 2⁄3 cup tenderflake lard, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 3⁄4 cup powdered milk
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 8 -10 cups flour
directions
- Mix together yeast, warm water, sugar into a large mixing bowl or mixer bowl.
- Add softened butter and lard, plus milk and salt.
- Then add eggs and beat mixture.
- Then add about 7 cups of flour, adding the remaining a little at a time till the dough is the right texture and easy to handle.
- Place in a large greased pan and let rise until double in size (this may take longer than regular bread because of the number of eggs in the batter).
- Punch down and divide into portions to fill your loaf/ baking cans, about 1/3- 1/2 full.
- You can also make into buns.
- I do not know how many loaves/buns this yields, because I don't know what size of pans you are going to use.
- I am guessing the number it yields.
- After panning the dough, let rise to double the size and bake at 325 degF for about an hour or till done.
