2 tb Yeast 5 Eggs, 2 whole+3 yolks
1/2 c Brown sugar 1 ts Salt
1/2 c Warm water (100-115 F.) 4 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Butter, melted
-GLAZING MIXTURE-
1 Egg yolk 2 ts Sugar
2 ts Flour 2 ts Water
Dissolve yeast and 1/2 cup brown sugar in the water and allow to
proof. Stir in the melted butter, 2 whole eggs plus 3 egg yolks,
salt, and blend well. Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, beating in
well.
Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead in additional flour
until you have a soft velvety dough with no trace of stickiness.
About 5 minutes of kneading should be enough.
Divide the dough into equal portions. Flatten and shape into round
loaves. Place on a greased baking sheet and cover with a tent of
aluminum foil and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled
in bulk (about 1-2 hours). Mix up the glazing mixture and brush over
the tops of the two loaves. You can add a few decorative slashes
with a sharp knife and sprinkle with a little brown sugar if desired.
Bake at 325 F. for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow
when rapped on top and sides with your knuckles. Cool on rack before
slicing.
