1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes.
2. Add sugar, melted butter, beaten eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
3. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough and divide it into three equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope.
7. Braid the three ropes together and place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Let the bread cool on a wire rack before serving.
