Cool.
Have yeast ready.
Add 4 to 5 cups of flour to cooled liquid before adding yeast.
Add yeast, then more flour.
Beat eggs, one at a time.
Stir between adding each egg and then add the rest of the flour until you get a dough that isn't sticky to the touch.
Let stand and raise.
Knead and when it is raised, put in pans.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 25 to 30 minutes.
This dough can be used for rolls also.
