Total Time: 1 hr 30 mins Preparation Time: 1 hr 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup margarine (1/2 stick)
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 2 (1/4 ounce) packages yeast or 2 (1/4 ounce) packages compressed yeast cake
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 5 1/4 cups unsifted flour

Recipe

• 1 scald milk; stir in sugar, salt and margarine. cool to lukewarm.
• 2 measure warm water into large warm bowl. sprinkle or crumble in yeast; stir until dissolved.
• 3 add lukewarm milk mixture, eggs and 2 cups of flour. beat until smooth. stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough.
• 4 turn out onto lightly floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
• 5 place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes.
• 6 punch down. turn out on lightly floured board. proceed according to directions for any shape. [grandma means like crescent, cloverleaf, etc. they will need to rise again after shaped, probably another 30 minutes. i would guess that they should be baked at about 400 f for around 15 minutes.].
