How to make rich egg bread:

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Stir in milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and 3 1/2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place until double, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Grease 2 loaf pans, 9 x 5 x 3-inch or 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inches. Punch down dough; divide into halves. Roll each into rectangle, 18 x 9-inches. Roll up, beginning at 9-inch side; press ends to seal. Fold ends under. Place seam side down in pan. Cover and let rise until double, 1 hour. Place oven rack in lowest position. Heat oven to 425°. Bake until loaves sound hollow when tapped, 25 to 30 minutes.

If using self-rising flour, omit salt. Unbleached flour can be used in this recipe.

High Altitude Directions (3500 to 6500 feet): Decrease flour to 6 3/4 to 7 1/4 cups. Rising time may be slightly shorter.
