I start with a Bosch Mixer, although you could make this in a bowl and stir by hand.

I put the yeast, warm water, salt, oil, and sugar in the bowl. I then add the eggs and lightly mix it in the Bosch so the eggs don't “cook."

Then I add the warm milk and flour slowly. I continue to add flour until the bread dough pulls away from the sides of the Bosch bowl.

I knead for about 7-8 minutes. I place the dough in a greased bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.

I let the dough rise until it's doubled in size. I punch down the dough, shape it into loaves, and place them in greased pans (I make eight, one-pound loaves).

I let it rise once again (using the same plastic wrap) until it doubles in size, and then I bake it at 350°F (176°C) for 27-30 minutes.

I lightly butter the tops of each loaf after baking while it's still warm on cooling racks.
