Home Style Yeast Bread

3 Pkg active dry yeast
2 C warm water
1 C sugar
1/2 C butter, melted
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
7 3/4 - 8 1/4 C flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, butter, salt, eggs and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough of remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead until elastic. Let rise 45 min. or until doubled. Punch dough down. Place in 3 greased bread pans. Let rise until doubled. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 min. or until golden brown.

This bread is very sweet. Great for dinner rolls and such. For everyday use bread, I like to leave out some of the sugar just so it's not quite so sweet.
