Ingredients:

  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp yeast
  • 2 eggs

  1. In a bread bowl, pour 2 cups warm water.

  5. Then add the following to your bread bowl, stirring well between each addition: eggs, salt, remaining sugar, 1 cup flour, melted shortening and onions.

  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smopoth and elastic: 10-12 minutes.
  8. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turn to grease the top, allow to rise until double in a warm, draft-free place for 1 1/2 hours.
  9. Punch down and cut into 2 pieces. Shape into loafs. Place into 8x4x3 pans that have been greased.
