Roseanne's Bread Recipe

Mix yeast and warm water in small bowl and set aside. 2. Mix milk and butter in microwave with lid for 4 minutes (time varies, butter just needs to be melted, and as far as I can tell, the lid is simply to prevent a big greasy mess). 3.In large mixing bowl, mix sugar, salt, and eggs. Add milk/butter mixture slowly. 4. With mixer, add 2 cups of flour. 5. Add yeast mixture. 6. Add 4-5 more cups of flour. You might need to just use a wooden spoon or do it by hand when it g...
