Recipe By: Lloyd Malanka Dancers Cookbook Dissolve sugar in lukewarm water and sprinkle yeast over it. Let stand 10 minutes. Combine the lukewarm milk with the dissolved yeast and 5 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place until light and bubbly, approx. 45 minutes. Add beaten eggs, sugar, melted butter and salt. Mix thoroughly. Stir in enough flour to make a medium soft dough. Knead until smooth and satiny. Cover and let rise 1 1/2 hours. Punch down and let rise another 45 minutes. Shape into round loaves. Decorate the loaves with same dough. The central ornament on paska is usually the cross. Some homemakers decorate paska with breaded rolls. Be sure to grease pans well. Set the loaves in a warm place until almost double. Brush with melted butter. Bake in a 400ºF. oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375ºF. and continue baking for 30 minutes. Yield: six small or four to five larger loaves. MC-RECIPE@MASTERCOOK.COM MASTERCOOK RECIPES LIST SERVER From the MasterCook recipe list.
