mothers bread receipe
just found an old receipe of my mothers, (died) for bread. It calls for 2 qts. milk, 5-6 eggs, 1 1/2 c sugar, 1 tble. salt, and 1/2 c butter melted. Hear is the catch, it calls for 5cents worth of yeast mixed with warm water, then add flour plus rest of ingredients and knead. What exactly is 5 cents worth of yeast and how much flour. No amounts given on these. How many loaves of bread will this make? Can anyone break this down to 2 loaves. How much kneading is involved? Help, the last words on the receipe say Good Luck.....
