Categories: Bread Blank
Yield: 6 Sm loaves

1		Cake of compressed yeast
1	tb	Sugar
1/2	c	Water
2		Eggs; beaten
1/2	c	Lard; or shortning - melted
2	c	Milk; lukewarm
1 1/2	ts	Salt
1/2	c	Sugar
8	c	All-purpose flour
		Glaze:
1 1/4	c	Confections' sugar
1/4	c	Lemon, orange or lime juice
1	ts	Vanilla

Mix the bread ingredients as for a regular loaf. Beat, knead and let rise in the bowl. The finished loaf should be half as high as normal so make 6 loaves not 3 in standard sized pans. Let rise a second time in the pans, bake, cool somewhat, glaze, continue cooling and slice into 1/2" thick slices. Toast in a slow oven until golden brown and crisp.

Glaze: simply mix the ingredients until smooth and spread.
