In a small bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes or until it becomes frothy.
In a saucepan, gently heat the whole milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly until it is warm but not hot.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and salt. Add the warm milk and butter mixture, followed by the frothy yeast mixture, and mix well. Then, add the eggs and stir until combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover it again with the towel and let it rise for an additional 30 to 45 minutes.
While the dough is rising for the second time, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the dough has risen, place it in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy with butter, jam, or any of your favorite toppings.
