INSTRUCTIONS
Dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in warm water in a large mixing bowl.
Set aside for about 10 minutes or until the yeast has become foamy. Stir in
the butter, eggs, additional yolks and salt. Blend well. Add the flour, 1
cup at a time, mixing well. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and
knead with additional four for about 5 minutes or until the dough is
elastic and not sticky. Divided the dough in half. Flatten and shape each
half into a round loaf. Place on a greased baking sheet, cover loosely
with aluminum foil, and let rise in a warm,draft free place until the
loaves are doubled in bulk, about 1-2 hours. Brush the egg mixture on the
top of the loaves and slash twice with a sharp knife. Sprinkle with
additional sugar and bake in a preheated 325 F oven for 35-40 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack before slicing. Makes 2 loaves.
