1. 1

   Heat oven to 200 degrees. Place an oblong pan filled with water in the oven. (Omit this step if you have a gas stove.) Fill metal mixing bowl with very hot water and set aside.

2. 2

   Combine milk and butter in glass bowl and microwave for 1 minute on high until milk mixture is about 105 degrees. Add sugar and salt. Empty mixing bowl. In warmed mixing bowl, mix yeast, 1/4 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Allow to get foamy (approximately 2 minutes). On low, beat in milk mixture and then eggs. With beater on medium add flour one cup at a time making sure that mixture is smooth after each cup until dough is stiff (about 5 cups). Remove dough from bowl and place on well floured surface. Knead dough 15 to 20 minutes adding flour as you go until dough is no longer sticky. Drape cloth over dough and let rest.
