GRANDMA'S BREAD

2 pkg. active dry yeast                                       2 tsp salt
1/4 cup warm water                                           2 eggs
2 cups milk, scalded                                          1 cup light raisins(opt.)
1/4 cup butter                                                    6 1/2 cups sifted Stone-Buhr flour
1/2 cup sugar

Dissolve yeast in water. Combine milk, butter, sugar and salt; cool to lukewarm. Add yeast, eggs and raisin. Add about 3 cups flour and beat until smooth. Add enough more flour to make dough easy to handle. Knead dough until smooth and elastic.

Place dough in a greased bowl; grease top and cover; let rise until double in bulk.

Punch down and shape into 2 loaves. Place in 9x5" loaf pans. Cover and let rise until double in bulk. Bake at 425* for 40 minutes. Remove from pans and cool. Makes 2 loaves.
