Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Stir in milk, sugar,
salt, eggs, shortening and 3 1/2 cups of the flour. Beat until

about 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover;
let rise in warm place until double, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Grease 2 loaf pans, 9×593 inches. Punch dough down; divide into
halves. Roll each into rectangle 18×9 inches. Roll up, beginning at
9-inch side; press ends to seal. Fold ends under. Place seam side
down in pan. Cover; let rise until double, 1 hour. Place oven rack
in lowest position. Heat oven to 425?F. Bake until loaves sound
hollow when tapped, 25 to 30 minutes.
