3 c milk
3/4 c butter/margarine
1 c instant potato flakes
3/4 c sugar
1 T salt
1 heaping T yeast
4 eggs
7 cups flour
Step 1 - Heat milk in a large glass bowl in microwave about 7 minutes. Add 1 stick of butter, potato flakes, sugar and salt. Let sit for 5 minutes. Put 1/2 cube butter out so it will get soft.
Step 2 - Beat 4 eggs. Add the milk mixture to the eggs, make sure it is not too hot or it will cook the eggs. Add the yeast. Mix and slowly add 7 cups of flour.
Step 3 - Let rise for 1 1/2 hours. Divide dough in half and roll 1 half into a large rectangle. Spread butter on the top. Take one side and fold half to the center. Then take the other side and fold it over, so you have 3 layers of dough. With a pizza cutter cut into strips. Tie in a knot tucking the ends underneath. Let rise on a cookie sheet for 3 hours, then bake at 350 for about 8 minutes.
