Ingredients
* 4 cups milk
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 pound lard
* 3 packages dry yeast
* 5 pounds flour
* 1/2 cup warm water
* 12 eggs
* 4 cups sugar
* 1 lemon, zested
* Eggwash
* 5 eggs for top of each bread, optional
Directions
In a saucepan combine milk, salt and lard and bring to a boil. Set aside.
In a small bowl combine yeast, 1 cup of the flour and 1/2 cup warm water and set aside.
In a large bowl with a whisk combine eggs, sugar and lemon zest and mix thoroughly. Add milk mixture, yeast mixture, and remaining flour and thoroughly combine. Set aside to rise, kneading 6 times every 1/2-hour. Bread will take 6 hours to rise.
Prepare 5 round loaf pans with butter or lard. Divide dough between pans (pans should be half-full). Knead bread and let it rise again until it reaches the top of the pan.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Brush with beaten egg and bake for 1 hour, until golden brown.
Note: If you choose to add the 5 eggs for Easter, place eggs on top of bread dough during final rising.
