Easter Bread

Directions

1. 1
   Mix together yeast, warm water, sugar into a large mixing bowl or mixer bowl.
2. 2
   Add softened butter and lard, plus milk and salt.
3. 3
   Then add eggs and beat mixture.
4. 4
   Then add about 7 cups of flour, adding the remaining a little at a time till the dough is the right texture and easy to handle.
5. 5
   Place in a large greased pan and let rise until double in size (this may take longer than regular bread because of the number of eggs in the batter).
6. 6
   Punch down and divide into portions to fill your loaf/ baking cans, about 1/3- 1/2 full.
7. 7
   You can also make into buns.
8. 8
   I do not know how many loaves/buns this yields, because I don't know what size of pans you are going to use.
9. 9
   I am guessing the number it yields.
10. 10
    After panning the dough, let rise to double the size and bake at 325 degF for about an hour or till done.
