Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the 2 packages of yeast in the warm water- let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, milk, butter and salt. Stir the mixture until the butter melts. Cool the mixture until it is lukewarm, then beat in the eggs and the yeast mixture. Gradually beat in the flour, blending well until dough is smooth.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and sprinkle dough with more flour. Knead the dough for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is very smooth and small blisters appear on the surface. Add more flour to the board if necessary. If you're using a dough hook on a stand mixer, 7 to 8 minutes of kneading should be plenty.

This recipe was an absolute fail. Dough was very hard to knead. Didn't rise properly and was a rock. I used high quality yeast and fresh flour.
