    List of Ingredients




    2 packages dry yeast
    1/4 cup warm water
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 1/2 cups scalded milk
    2 large eggs, beaten
    3 teaspoons salt
    6-7 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour, sifted
    1/2 teaspoon ground sage
    3/4 teaspoon thyme
    3/4 teaspoon marjoram
    1 teaspoon Italian parsley, minced. (If fresh, 1 Tablespoon)
    1/2 cup shortening, melted

    Recipe



    Soften yeast in warm water, along with 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Cool milk, melt the shortening in it. Add milk, shortening, the remaining sugar, salt, eggs, and 2 cups of the flour to the yeast. Mix well and cover. Let rise in a warm place until bubbly (about 1 hour).

    Combine the herbs and add to the mixture. Stir in the rest of the flour to make a stiff dough. Knead on floured board until satiny and elastic. Place in greased bowl, cover, and return to the warm place to rise until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).

    Punch dough down, let rest for 10 minutes and then shape into 2 loaves. Place in greased 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pans. Let rise until doubled in bulk (about 1-1 1/2 hours).

    Makes 2 loaves.
