For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Ingredients

6 3/4 to 7 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 packages active dry yeast
2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 tsp salt
3 eggs
oven 375 degree

Method:

- In a large mixer bowl combine 3 cups of the flour and the yeast.

- Add to the flour mixture; add eggs.
- Beat at low speed of electric mixer 1/2 minute, scraping bowl.
- Beat 3 minutes at high speed.
- Stir in as much remaining flour as you can mix in with a spoon.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total).

- Punch down; divide dough in half.
