Blessed Pascha, everyone!
Warm 4 cups of milk with
1 pound butter
cool in large bowl,
beat 12 eggs with
1 Tablespoon salt and
2.5 cups sugar
Meanwhile mix
4 Tablespoons yeast with
1 cup warm water and
1 Tablespoon sugar and
1 Tablespoon flour
let proof
Add all the above together with about 19-21 cups of flour to make a very soft dough. Knead with up to 1/4 cup oil on hands. Let rise twice in its bowl. Form into loaves, or put in greased pans, brush with egg wash if you want to. Bake a 350 degrees
Small loaf pan;s about 35 minutes
Large loaf pans; up to about an hour.
Personally I found smaller loaves cooked properly while larger loafs had a tendency to stay raw in the middle.
Check with toothpick. If you didn’t use the eggwash, then brush with melted butter or oil. This keeps the crust soft.
