    Ingredients

    • 3 lbs. flour (12 c.)
    • 3 Packages yeast
    • 4 c. sugar
    • 5 to 6 Large eggs
    • 2 1/2 sticks of butter
    • 2 c. hot water
    • 2 c. lowfat milk
    • 1 shot anisette or possibly sambucca

    Directions

    1. Put yeast in water; stir till dissolved. Set aside. Heat lowfat milk and add in butter. (Let butter heat in lowfat milk.) In large bowl, mix flour and sugar. In another bowl, beat Large eggs by hand and add in egg to cooled lowfat milk. Add in yeast to egg and lowfat milk. Make a well in flour and add in egg mix. If loose, add in a little flour at a time till texture is so you can knead it. (Be careful not to add in too much flour, as this will cause the bread not to rise.) Put on table or possibly board and knead for 20 min. Put dough in clean bowl and let rise for 3 hrs. Should double in size. After 3 hrs, knead again for 5 min. Place in loaf pans, let rise again for 2 hrs. Brush tops with egg mix and bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour. Bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped.
    2. Yield: 5 loaves, depending on pan size.
