1 (12 oz.) can skim evaporated milk
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

4 to 5 c. flour
1 1/4 c. very warm milk
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. softened sweet butter or margarine

Directions

1

Combine 1 cup of very warm milk, 1 cup sugar, butter and salt in a large bowl.
2

Stir until most of butter is melted.
3

Sprinkle yeast and the 1 teaspoon sugar into the remaining milk in a 1 cup measure; stir to dissolve.

Let stand to proof until bubbly and raised to double in volume (about 15 minutes).
5

Stir beaten eggs and yeast mixture into butter mixture.

Beat in about 5 cups flour, one cup at a time, until a soft pliable dough is formed. Place dough onto a well floured surface and knead from 10 to 15 minutes or until smooth and stretchy.
