Portugese Sweet Bread (santos)

Ingredients & Directions


2 Pkgs. yeast
1 c Milk
1/2 c Warm water
1 ts Salt
1 c Sugar
2 oz Butter or margarine
3 Beaten eggs
7 c Flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine yeast, water & 1 teas. sugar; let
stand 5 minutes. Beat eggs in large bowl. In small pan, combine milk,
salt, butter and sugar; stir over low heat until milk is warm (butter may
not be melted). Gradually stir in egg, then beat in 3 cups flour; add
yeast and heat until smooth. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make
dough; turn on to lightly floured board and knead 8 to 10 minutes. Place
in greased bowl, cover, let rise until doubled in bulk (1-1/2 hours). Form
into 4 small loaves (I usually use cake pans for baking the bread.). Let
rise until doubled or at least an hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Cool on rack.
