Method

Soften the yeast in the lukewarm water.
Place the milk, sugar, salt and butter in a mixing bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar and melt the butter. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in the yeast and two of the eggs, lightly beaten.
Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured board and knead for about ten minute
