Categories     Egg     Bread

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (.25) envelope dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with a pinch of the sugar. Set aside to ferment, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the yeast mixture to a large bowl, and stir in the sugar, eggs, salt, flour, and milk until the dough comes together. Stir in the melted butter, then turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  • Cover dough with a cloth and set aside to rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes
  • Divide dough into about 15 to 20 pieces, and shape them into flat round cakes about 1/2 inch thick. Place a cloth on the table and dust it with flour. Arrange the cakes on the cloth, allowing space for rising. Allow them to set for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Place the cakes in a heavy ungreased skillet, and cook over low heat. Fry the cakes on each side until golden.
